Do you remember the bauble wreath I made last Christmas? It's by far my most popular project to date. I've decided to capitalize on that. Maybe I'll make a bauble wreath for every holiday? Right now, it's time for Halloween.
All I did this time was use styrofoam vase fillers in purple and black. I found them in the Christmas (ornament) section of Hobby Lobby (and, yes, I bought these about a month or two ago and there was already a Christmas section). The black came in a large pack of multiple sizes but for the purple, I had to buy the multi-color pack of purple, blue, pink, and green which meant the purple came in only one size. See?
I just glued and glued as I saw fit and it came out like this:
Now I will tell you, I had THE most difficult time getting a picture of this darn wreath!!! The moment I held up my camera, the purple looked blue. It was early in the morning and the sun wasn't completely up so I tried it again when I came home that night. The sun had already started to set so I decided to wait until the weekend. The sun was blazing and I still couldn't get them not to look blue! So I cheated...I uploaded the photo and tweaked the colors until I got my purple. It's still not exactly right. This is what it looked like without the photo editing.
I mean, it looks cool like it's black and blue but it's my purple and black Halloween wreath! I guess you'll just have to come over and see it in person :)
To make the ribbon I hung it with, I took this black silk ribbon and this orange ribbon with white polka dots. I was originally going to use the orange polka dot ribbon all over the wreath in little bows or something but I ended up not liking it.
I hot glued the orange ribbon along the edge of the black, creating my own custom ribbon!
What do you think? I love it!
I hope you'll stay tuned through the next week. I've got a couple other bauble wreaths to share with you!
2013 Update: Here is a better picture of the wreath which I hope shows off the purple baubles a little better!
I'm partying here!
