Halloween wreath
Oct. 26th, 2003 11:58 pmwhoever posted about making that Halloween wreath a few weeks ago, inspired me to make my own.

only, i made mine with crepe paper, not wool. i used a whole pack of black and a whole pack of orange. i cut them into strips about 2cms wide and wound them around a cardboard ring i made. i kept wrapping the strips around, twisting them at the front and laying them flat at the back of the wreath. then i secured the ends with double sided tape...and made sure i finished the last 'layer' with the ends on the back.
and the cat, bat and ghost shapes were cut out from craft foam sheets with a sizzix die cutting machine, not by me...i actually 'found' someone on eBay with one and got them to do it, heh. i just need to stick them on now!
i made it for a friend...but i want to keep it for myself, heheh
