BOO-Tiful Halloween Wreath Instructions:

● Take your wreath, either a Styrofoam or straw one, and wrap and cover it with your black and white chevron ribbon. You should use exactly 10 yards when covering a 14″ wreath.
● Use your hot glue gun to secure the ribbon in place.

● Take 7 fall leaves and lay them out on the front, bottom of the wreath in a color pattern you deem pleasing (this is all a matter of taste!)
● Hot glue them onto the wreath.

● Take your orange scrap book paper, and trim to a 8X11″ sheet of paper if needed. Then print the “trick or treat” PDF file onto the paper. Trim the paper so it is 1 1/2″ wide and cut out “V” shaped notches at the end so it looks like a ribbon.
● Grab your foam brush and paint on a coat of Mod Podge over the top of the “Trick or Treat” paper.
● Place a few pencils under the trick or treat paper so it won’t stick to the newspaper (or whatever surface you have it on) while it is drying.

● Take a 9″ long black cardboard bat from the Halloween Silhouette kit and one of the bamboo skewers. Break off a skewer end so that it is about 8.5″ long. Securely tape or glue that onto the back of the bat. Now the bat will be a bit more sturdy when you glue him onto the wreath.
● Hot glue on the dry “trick or treat” paper ribbon over the leaves that are on the wreath.
● Hot glue on the bat to the wreath just off to the side of the “trick or treat” paper ribbon.

● To make the orange burlap bow:
● Cut one 13″ strand, one 3″ strand and (2) 5″ strands of orange burlap ribbon.
● Use the ends of a pair of scissors or a Popsicle stick to hold the ribbon when hot gluing the ribbon together so that your skin is not touching the hot glue.

● Take your 13″ strand of orange burlap and wrap it into a loop and hot glue it together. This will form the top of the bow. You need to pinch in the middle and make a “M” shape and glue that together.

● Now take your 3 inch strand and fold it in half the long way and hot glue that together.
● Wrap that around the pinched part of the bow.

● Turn it over so the back of the bow is facing you and attach the (2) 5″ ribbons.
● Cut “V” shaped notches at the ends – you can paint some clear nail polish over the notch to keep it from raveling (highly suggested!).
● Your burlap bow is now complete.

● Take the black ribbon with white polka dots and cut a 20″ strand.
● Wrap this 20″ around the top of the wreath and knot the end. This will the part of the wreath where you hang it.
● Hot glue the polka dot ribbon onto the chevron ribbon so that it stays in place.
● Once your orange burlap ribbon is completely cooled and dry – hot glue that on top of the wreath where the polka dot ribbon is wrapped around at the top.

● Your wreath is now complete – go fill your bowl with some candy and get ready to fill up the kiddos Trick or Treat bags!
