THE BLACK & WHITE HALLOWEEN WREATH

The black and white wreath turned out to be oh so simple and I have to admit I love the finished product.  It was not what I had in mind when thinking about putting it together but once I started making the wreath "less is more" became the order of the day.

 

I started off with a 15" natural twig wreath.  This is a thick wreath, much more than normal, lots of heft.

I was going to make a witch but spied this little witch/ghost for $2.98 and decided I could easily modify him/her for my black and white purposes.

 I just cut a couple of scrap pieces of black and white gingham and glued them over the purple legs and took off the purple ribbon on the hat and added a black and white ribbon.

Added a couple of $ store bugs and some cobwebs along with a big black and white bow.

I adhered all things to the wreath with hot glue and then just printed out a little "Trick or Treat If You Dare" sign, tore the edges and glued it to the wreath.

Finished product, see less is more.  I also need to note that because this wreath was so thick it is hard to tell how things will look if you add everything while the wreath is laying flat - I took the wreath to the porch and hung it and adhered everything then - this was so easy and he fits right in with the rest of the black and white Halloween.
