It’s starting to feel like fall!
October 11th, 2010
This weekend was the first time that I started to notice the leaves changing color. And so I decided it was also time for my apartment to get a fall makeover. But before I get into telling you what all I created this weekend, I wanted to tell you that …

Moving on, today I’m going to share with you a new wreath I created for Halloween. Remember this simple wreath I made for summer?
For my new wreath I wanted to use the existing grape vine wreath, but it needed a little something extra to make it feel more like Halloween. So, I painted it black:
Using some newspaper and Krylon black glossy paint spray I gave it a good once over. (I LOVE Krylon.)
Starting to look spooky right!?
Then I added a few purple blossoms, some fall leaves, and black and purple feathers, and voila!
What do you think? Have any of you created a spooky wreath for halloween? I would love to see yours! Please share your links in the comments below!
Next time I’m going to show you what I did with the yellow flowers I originally had on the wreath to create more spooky decorations! Until next time!
