Devilish door decorations
How about making these devilish door decorations to welcome (or warn) people that enter your bedroom! 😈
We've made two different types - one using a pre-bought wreath and the other made using a cardboard wreath.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
- Either plain wire or stringed wreath - you can buy these from any craft supplier. If you're making your wreath from cardboard you'll also need a big piece of flat, clean cardboard and 2 bowls - one bigger than the other.
- Pencil
- Some Halloween inspired tinsel
- Googly ping pong eyes - available from any Halloween craft supplier - these are optional, you can use anything you like to decorate your wreath 👀
- Glittery pumpkins - again available from any Halloween craft supplier - these are optional, you can use anything you like to decorate your wreath 🎃
- Glue - we used a glue gun for ease but you can use any type of glue
- Plastic spiders 🕷
- Coloured cotton or string
WHAT TO DO:
- If you're making your wreath from scratch - first you'll need to take your biggest bowl and draw around it onto the piece of cardboard.
- Then, take your smaller bowl and place that in the middle of the circle you've just drawn and draw around that too.
- You'll then need to cut around both circles - be careful when cutting out the middle. You should be left with a wide hoop.
- Next, take either your cardboard hoop or your pre-bought one and your tinsel - using your glue to attach the end of the tinsel to the wreath - make sure it's completely stuck.
- Thread your tinsel through the hole and around the edges, all the way around your hoop until you cannot see the cardboard/string/wire. You can use as many different types of tinsel as you like for this.
- Secure the end of your tinsel by gluing it down to the cardboard/wire/string.
- Now it's time to decorate...you can stick anything you like onto your wreaths - we used googly ping pong eyes and plastic spiders for one and glittery pumpkins for the other - just pop a little bit of glue on the back and make sure they still well to the tinsel.
- Once everything is stuck on and dried, now it's time to add a little bit of cotton or string to the back of your wreath, so you can hang it up on your door. To do this, just cut a little bit of cotton/string and attached the two ends in a loop to the top back of your wreath. Make sure it's secure otherwise it'll fall off your door and give everyone a fright in the night! 👻
