Halloween Wreath

Hi guys,

Big fan of the site. I have finally moved into a house and can try some of the awesome things you guys do. This year I tried to grow my own pumpkins. Six plants grew but they only produced one pumpkin and it wasn't very big

I carved it anyway.

I also made a Halloween Wreath. Just purchased a premade grapevine wreath from a craft store for $4, a bag of spider webbing, a bag of spiders and one foam skull.

I cut a semi circle out of the back of the skull and glued it to the wreath. I also ran some wire through the skull and tied it on for extra support.

Not nearly as cool as some of your yards, but every journey starts with a first step.

That wreath is really well done - very spooky!

"...but every journey starts with a first step. " This is sooo true - hang here for any amount of time and you'll be scarin' the bejeesus out of your neighbors in no time!

Yeah, it starts with a simple wreath....then you think, hey, I can carve my own tombstones! And then you think, those pvc/flicker candles can't be too hard...Wow, maybe an FCG? The more you read, the longer your project list gets. Good luck. You are offically addicted. Oh, and your sweet little pumpkin? I'm told its not the size that matters, but how you carve it.
