Happy monday!
Sharing my Halloween wreath today.
I have wanted to purchase a corn husk wreath for years
and was able to find a gal on Etsy that makes these.
They are so full and I love the natural look of them.
I had also seen online this adorable ghost that you could purchase.
I decided I was going to challenge myself to make one.
It couldn't be that hard right?
He turned out pretty cute!
Most of what I needed I had on hand.
But started with some gauze from the Dollar Tree,
the little pumpkin from Hobby Lobby, some
black felt and modge podge.
I started with a empty spaghetti jar, a balloon that I barely
blew up and some pipe cleaners.
I set them all on top of a bowl as I needed the gauze to dry
with some length to it.
Take a bowl and add a 1/4 cup of the modge podge and just a little water to create a paste. Now drop your gauze into the the liqiud and
make sure you cover all the gauze.
Gently fold it in half and lay it over the make shift ghost body
and let dry overnight. If you have any paste left use it with a sponge brush and brush any areas that might need a little more of the glue.
When it's all dry cut yourself some eyes and add them to the ghost,
That's it!
I attached the ghost to the wreath with some wire.
Love how this turned out!
Beautiful wreath. Could I find out who on Etsy you purchased from?
