If you have a wooden wreath, spray paint it black and fray the edges a bit for a distressed look. Add some black glitter for a little sparkle. For a wire wreath, paint it black and attach layers of dark or painted twigs and branches once dry with floral wire.

Weave in a black feather boa and faux florals to create a full wreath with an interesting texture. Don’t worry about making it perfect: play with different patterns, tones and symmetry for visual interest.

Snip away long stems and tie any loose bits securely to the wreath with floral wire or floral tape.

Give your wreath a flourishing finishing by affixing a Halloween ornament of your choice – a black crow, wide-eyed bat or skeleton head – using a hot glue gun. Tip: position your ornament a bit off center for a more professional or realistic look.

Hang your wreath on the inside or outside of your door or on an interior window or wall. We think it would look great above a bar cart too!
