Dollar Store Halloween Wreath

I have been getting the Halloween decorations out and this weekend I did a little crafting. I made a spooky Halloween wreath almost entirely out of dollar store items. This post is sponsored by Dollar Tree, one of my favorite stores.

 

I always love scouring the Dollar Tree aisles for so many great decorations and supplies. There were so many fun Halloween things and these are the items I bought.

I started with a styrofoam wreath which I already had and began decorating.

First I wrapped the wreath with garland. Basically, just covering by spiraling the garland around the foam.

Then, once I covered the entire wreath, I fastened at both ends with some glue.

Now I had my base, I started to add things like the skeleton and bats. I made a little diagram so that you can see where I added the decorations. I also added the glitter skull to the top. I secured the items with push pins and I used a wire for the scull.

I also tied the ribbon to the bottom of the wreath. Oh, and the cool part? The skull's eyes light up in different colors! I am not sure how long the battery will last, but it does add some pizzaz! What do you think?

Total price (besides the wreath), was $7, and I had decorations left over. The items I had were the wreath and puch pins. If you do not have a Dollar Tree near you, check out their Halloween supplies here.

    You did such a great job!! I think we do have a dollar store near us, but it isn't Dollar Tree. I'm so inspired by your posts about what you can do at the dollar store.
