Spooky Chic Halloween Wreath - The Scrap Shoppe

I love purple and black together for Halloween.

I think they look subtly spooky together!

So of course I paired them together for my

Spooky Chic Halloween Wreath!

I wrapped a wreath form with black material. Then added a black feather boa. I spaced the boa out that I had 5 sections to my wreath.

Section 1

I covered the 1st section in black satin rolled roses.

Confession: I intended to cover the entire wreath with these roses, but since this one section alone took 20 flowers, I decided I needed a new plan!

Section 2

I took purple satin ribbon and wrapped it around this section, gluing it in such a way to give it a rippling effect.

Section 3

I found some fabulous velvet ribbon that I wrapped around this section. I liked having the black fabric covering the wreath form showing through here.

Section 4

Since I seem to be alternating with purple and black, I wasn’t sure what to do with this section at first. I knew I wanted my {Dollar Store} glitter skull to go here so having something black in this section was out. Purple might have been too dark also. So I finally settled on some silver tulle. I just wrapped it loosely around the wreath form allowing it to gather in places.

Before I glued the skull to the wreath, I gave him a light coating of Mod Podge. Since he was going to be outside, I wanted to be sure all of his glitter wouldn’t wear away. He lost some of his sparkle after this, but I still love the way he turned out.

I decided his eyes needed to stand out more to make him look more spooky. I found some purple glitter brads in my scrapbook stashed and pushed them into place. They ended up being too lavendar (whoever heard of a scary skull with lavendar eyes?) so I filled the brad with dark purple Stickles (aka glitter paint).

Section 5

I was most excited about this section. I found this fabric ages ago and KNEW it would be perfect on a Halloween wreath. It is a shiny purple and silver bracade pattern on black material.

GOR.GE.OUS.

It also helped me incorporate the silver tulle in the previous section.

I used the same method as the tulle and loosely wrapped it around the wreath and let the fabric fall and fold as it wanted to. LOVE IT!
