Ghost Family Halloween Wreath

I have thought for years, that it would be so fun to create a family out of ghosts!!! When I saw the new peg shapes at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago, I knew this was the year!!!

This was another one I mostly made in the minivan during family vacation, so I don't have a ton of process pictures. It was very straight forward. You wrap your ribbon around a foam wreath base (Hobby Lobby).  I cut and pinned, because I was being cheap, but ended up gluing anyway.

Cut a divet in your wreath with a knife, and slide a piece of wood in (Hobby Lobby). This is not highly scientific. I just shoved it until it fit.

Paint your peg ghosts however you like.I did white tops and black bottoms. I painted the details on with a toothpick.

Last minute, I decided to add some tulle circles over the top of each ghost. I thought it was a little fun and unexpected. I pinned them in the back, but didn't glue them, incase I wanted to take them off. They are still on. I think I like it that way best.

I also got a tree in the unfinished wood section of Hobby Lobby, and painted it grey. I hot glued everything in place.

I cut a moon out of foam, and hung it by a strip of tulle, and a pin. It really looks better than these pics. I don't know why I couldn't get a good one!

My baby LOVED it when he saw it, and named off each member in our family!

I do think it's pretty cute myself. It's a little more, "cutesie," than I have been in the mood for lately, but it's fun anyway!

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a Happy and Creative Day!

New SPRING Wreath I Made

I have been thinking about what I wanted on my porch for a while. I wanted to pull in the colors of my pots and flowers, but not detract from them either. This is what I came up with...

I got the wreath at Ben Franklin for $6, and used a 40% off coupon! (Best part!) If you even need a Ben Franklin coupon, you can find theme here.

I bought cherry blossom 6 stems and cut them up. They were on sale for 40% off of $3.99 each. I just stuck them in the wreath randomly.

I bought a letter for $3, and a sheet of coordinating paper for $.99. I traced the paper using the letter, cut it out, and taped it on. I was going to mod podge, but I have other plans for the letter for the near future, so I didn't want to do anything so permanent. Also, my porch is protected, so it shouldn't get wet. I hooked everything together with ribbon. Last night, it was bugging my husband when he was using the door, because the letter was clanging around. So, I just put a command strip behind it, and... problem solved!
