Halloween is on the way, which always puts me in a crafty mood. This spider wreath is perfect because it is light on the effort and heavy on the creepy. I was able to create the whole thing in less than an hour. A small disclaimer though, I live in Arizona so the spray paint only took a few minutes to dry. If you live in a more humid climate the project may take a little longer. On to the details....
Supply List
- Grapevine Wreath (I used a small size but use any size you want)
- Black Paint (preferably spray paint)
- Glue Dots®
- Plastic Spiders
- Ribbon
- Scissors
 |
| The Goods |
Begin by spray painting the wreath black. Be sure to get in all the crevices and paint both sides. Allow the wreath to dry thoroughly before attaching the spiders.
 |
| Starting to get Creepy |
Attach the spiders to the wreath using Glue Dots®. It looks best to attach them in random directions rather than all in one direction. I prefer to use a lot of spiders rather than just a few. Be sure to leave a gap where you can later attach the ribbon (if you choose to attach a ribbon for hanging.)
 |
| Demonstrating! |
Connect the ribbon by creating a loop at the top and secure using a Glue Dot®.
 |
| So Close to Completion |
If you choose you can fasten the ribbon to the wreath using Glue Dots®. This will prevent the wreath from shifting.
 |
| Final Touches |
Place a single spider on the ribbon as an accent.
 |
| Done!!! |

| Cool and Gross and Perfect |
Full disclosure: I wrote this blog post while participating in the Glue Dots® design team.
