Upcycled Plastic Bag Halloween Wreath
An upcycled plastic bag Halloween wreath is easy to make and looks great hanging on a door, porch wall, or over a mantel for Halloween decor.
My mom came up with the idea for making this Halloween wreath using upcycled plastic bags.
She made this wreath for a booth that I used to have. It didn’t sell and I was not at all sorry because I’ve enjoyed decorating with it every Halloween since.
Mama’s Women’s Club collects plastic bags and donates them to an organization that uses them to make benches. So far they have donated three benches to the city of Waynesboro, VA.
This is my version of the Halloween wreath.
This Halloween DIY project was fun to make and I love how it looks hanging on our front door.
This is the first time that I’ve ever decorated my front porch for Halloween and I’m loving how it looks.
It also was my first time working with faux spiderweb and I didn’t at all enjoy the process of draping it over the pumpkins. It is not so easy to work with!

- 18" wire wreath form

I love this, will have to try it. I'd also like to see a picture of the benches you mentioned being made from plastic bags.

Have a question about this project?
Could you do one for Thanksgiving or Christmas?
Would love a video to see exactly how you did the wreath! Mine does not seem to stay together. Did you weave the bags in at all?
Why not use black trash bags ?
