Easy Black Halloween Wreath And Black Roses ~ Dollar Store Craft

Hello,

Normally when I do fall decorating I don't do the spooky Halloween themes.

I have always stuck with the pretty fall themes or the cute corn, pumpkin and scarecrows.

I always decorated so that it would carry me through until Thanksgiving.

But this year my son Derrick who just turned 11 wants to have a Halloween party with all the spooky stuff!

I didn't want to invest a lot of money in decorations so I went to the local Dollar Tree...

which I really should have stock in because I love any dollar store!

I found these great 18" evergreen wreaths!

I spray painted the wreath with flat black paint (also $1.00)

From a distance they almost look like a feather wreath!

Personally I think it looks great "as is"... but you could also add a bow or some decorations.

I loved the look of them so much that I also decorated a few for a local craft show.

I added a sign, bow and some creepy critters and stretched some

spider webbing across the wreath. 

Personally I'm not too crazy about these... but they are spooky!

I also used some cheap $1.00 white rose bushes and spray painted them black

and and then painted the tips of each rose.

I did a few in purple and a few in orange.

Here is an upclose pic of the purple ones.

 They had black roses with glitter tips for a dollar each...

but this way you can have a dozen for a $1 by using a bit of left over paint

and you could also add some glitter too if you prefer.

I hope you enjoyed this easy and inexpensive way to decorate for Halloween.

Thanks for looking and Happy Halloween Crafting,

Beverly
