Halloween: DIY Ribbon Wreath

 

 

 

Hello See Vanessa Craft readers! I’m Ginger from Ginger Snap Crafts, and I am so excited to be back for another 30 Crafty Days of Halloween! Eek! I love seeing everyone’s spooky ideas each year. This year I’m sharing this Eek! Ribbon Wreath that would be perfect on your front door. Best of all, it’s super easy to make & the kiddos can even get involved. Let’s get started!

 

SUPPLIES

metal wreath frame
lots of ribbon*
scissors
wooden letters to spell EEK
paint
paint brush
sand paper

 

*This much ribbon can get quite expensive if you went out & bought it all at once. I was lucky & was sent all this ribbon for free from the company a few years ago. You could also use strips of fabric for a less expensive option.

 

INSTRUCTIONS

 

First, I cut my ribbon in 13 inch lengths. My 9 year old daughter helped me do this!

 

 

 

Then we started tying on the strips of ribbon. I just used a single knot tied tightly. 

 

You just keep going around until your wreath is as fluffy & big as you want it. I didn’t take a picture of this step, but be sure to trim all the frayed edges off when you’re finished tying.

 

Next, I painted my letters. Then let them dry.

 

I distressed them a little bit with some sandpaper. 

 

Then I hot glued ribbon on the back & tied them to my wreath. 

 

I think it’s a fun addition to my front door for Halloween!
