White Pumpkin Ghost Burlap Wreath

I was going for a wind swept kind of look like the wreath made itself while be swirled around by the wind, getting leaves and whatnot stuck in itself. I feel like it came out looking just like what I wanted!
One day I was at Hobby Lobby and I found these little mini white pumpkins. They immediately told me they needed to be made into ghosts. So, I took them seriously and did as I was told.


I tried using Sharpie, but whatever material they are made from just soaks up Sharpie faster than anything. I killed one Sharpie marker with just one pumpkin. So, I switched to black acrylic paint. It worked much better. It took me about 2-3 layers to get a really good dark face.
While the white pumpkins were drying, I moved onto these cute little tiny orange pumpkins, who also told me they needed to be jack o'lanterns. I skipped right past the Sharpie and also used acrylic paint on them. And then left them to dry overnight.
While the pumpkins were drying, I used a large 16-inch wire wreath and filled it with brown and orange burlap ribbon. It took 2 rolls of each brown and orange ribbon.


I also had picked up some Fall stems of yellow dead-looking leaves and some other Fall stems that were yellow.
I also found this Black Hats Society sign at the Dollar Tree and felt it went perfectly with the wreath.

    HA HA! Love the ghost pumpkins. Made me smile. Very lovely wreath. So many different wreath abound. Love the innovative, creativity, and vision of Hometalkers. No two wreaths the same!
