Halloween Rag Wreath

Since I have been all about wreaths lately, I decided to make a halloween wreath! This one is really easy to make, but can take quite a while. I got the inspiration from pinterest, but found different ways of doing this online.

Things you need:
-fun holiday fabric (4 patterns, 2 yards each)
-wire wreath form (I got the large one with 4 rings)
-ribbon to hang your wreath from
-wooden letters
-paint to paint wooden letters

A. Cut strips of fabric, about 6" long and 1" wide (longer if you want), and tie in a random pattern around your ring.
B. Take a piece of ribbon and tie a loop about the top of your wreath to hang it from.  I tied it around the second ring.

C.  I wanted to attach the word "BOO" but the craft store was out of "b" so I went with "EEK."  I painted them orange and then topped it with sparkly spray paint.

D.  Attaching the letters to the wreath ended up being a little more tricky.  I ended up hot gluing ribbon to the back of the letters and tying them on to the wire form.

Here's my finished product!
