My little baby spider Ella has finally found a home on my Halloween wreath. For some time now I have been wanting to make a yarn wrapped wreath. I've eyeballed quite a few on etsy (here) so this past week, while at Michaels, I spotted the perfect pumpkin colored yarn for a fall wreath. I purchased the yarn along with a charcoal gray skein and a straw wreath. I believe the wreath was under $5.00, which was cheaper than the foam wreaths. Rather than unwrapping the plastic covering around the wreath and having a straw mess on my floor, I left the plastic on and wrapped the yarn over it (per my moms suggestion).
The bunting banner is made out of a paper grocery bag I had on hand. I think I got the idea from a Martha Stewart craft but I'm not entirely sure. Anywho, I cut the paper to a letter size and ran it through my printer. I created the BOO! template in illustrator and saved it as a pdf. Below is the link to the Halloween bunting pdf I used. Feel free to bunt away. The pdf includes the words BOO! and Happy Halloween.
Enjoy!

I did a craft project with a straw wreath years ago and took the plastic off. BIG MISTAKE!

Saw this today and had to make it! It was so easy, and my kids love it. Thanks so much for the great idea! I'll be making a yarn wreath for Thanksgiving and Christmas now, too.
Love that wreath! What a great use for your wonderful spider, too. I've been wanting to try a yarn wreath for awhile now - this might be the push I need. Thanks for the inspiration!
