A Wreath Bewitched
I don't know about you, but when I think of holidays I automatically go for the "cute," especially when it come to Halloween! You can imagine that this love for all things holiday, cute and over the top lead to my most recent creation, a witch wreath.
It all started with the desire to make a tutu and hang it on my door. Alone I can assume the tutu would have been a bit much, but I was determined to make it work. So, I set to work and hot-glued (of course!) some inexpensive tulle to a small foam wreath.
Immediately I figured out that I needed some cute witchy legs to go with my tutu. I found a yummy combination of ribbons at one of my favorite craft hot spots and got right to work. I used thick, long purple ribbons to create the legs. Using hot glue I created some ruffled "leg warmers," topped with a little bow.
Next, I cut simple little witch shoes out of stiff black felt, and hot glued them under the ribbon details.
To personalize the wreath, I painted our last name on an inexpensive wooden plaque and hot glued it to the unfinished side of the tutu. I put all the other details together and I was finished!
I am mildly aware that this is a little crazy and over the top, but with that amount of polka dots I can't help but love it. Hopefully there is at least on idea of inspiration you can take form this and make it your own. If nothing else, just don't be afraid to be a little over the top when it comes to holiday decorating! It might surprise you how fun it is!
I will be participating in the CSI Halloween Challenge this week as well...

Oh my word!!! This is by far the cutest Halloween wreath I have seen in blogland so far! I LOVE it! It is so unique and creative. I have a baby on the way any day now so I have pretty much kissed Halloween goodbye for this year. But, I am thinking an Elf version of this (with some green tulle and maybe red and white striped legs) for Christmas is a MUST! Super cute! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
Amy, stay tuned for the elf version! It's already been made! Congrats on the baby!

I wish I had seen this in time for Halloween. But I am thinking I can rework this in a turkey for Thanksgiving.
Love this! I could rock this on my door all year round. When you are Wiccan people expected it of you to do things out of the so called "normal" zone. Which is fun cause I can have a wreath as awesome as that on my door 24/7/365! Thanks! (poof)
I think it's perfect! What imagination and creativity!
This is SO creative and darling! LOVE it! I'm including this in a mega Halloween Wreath round-up post in October : )

I found this on Pinterest and absolutely love it...I am planning to make it as a gift for my mother's birthday next week. One question...how do you glue your tulle to the wreath? I usually tie mine tutu style, and the only other way I know to do it is to push the tulle down into the wreath with a pencil (or something similar). Just curious how you do yours.
Adorable! Saw it on Pinterest and I also wanted to know how you glued your tulle to your wreath. Thanks!
