$6 Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath

$6 DIY DOLLAR TREE WREATH.
 
  • 1 ORANGE POOL NODDLE
  • 1 ROLL OF HALLOWEEN RIBBON
  • 1 MONSTER DOOR KNOCKER
  • 1 PURPLE FLOWER BUNCH
  • 1 BLACK ROSES BUNCH
  • 1 BAT
 
 
Gather your supplies
 
 
Tape your noddle
 
 
Cut the stems of the flowers, exposing the wire under the plastic stem. The more exposed wire there is, the easier it will be to stab into your pool noddle.
 
 
Exposed wire. This is not exposed enough.. keep stripping! =)
 
 
 
 
That's more like it!
 
 
Start stabbing the flower stems into the pool noddle right where you placed the duct tape.
 
 
 
Arrange the purple and black flowers however you please.  
 
 
 
I love the colors mixed together and the hidden spiders!
 
 
 
You can keep the door knocker on this monster but I choose to remove it...
 
 
...by cutting the plastic off the back.
 
 
Glue your sting onto the pool noddle. Make sure the glue isn't too hot, it will melt your pool noddle a little...
 
 
I took this wire tie that was on the flower packaging and striped off the plastic...
 
 
Then stabbed it around the string to help hold the string in place..
 
 
Added more glue...
 
 
And a strip of duct tape.. just to be safe! Haha. Hopefully, it wont go anywhere! =)
 
 
Start wrapping the Halloween ribbon around your noddle. (Sorry, I forgot to take a photo of this process!)
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Take a used stem and strip off the plastic. About 2 inches long.
 
 
Bend it in half...
 
 
Take the bat. Attached to him is a black string. Wrap it over his head and under his neck.
 
 
Take the metal hook you just created and stick the bat's string into the wreath.
 
 
 
TA DA! You're done!
