Halloween Wreath {aka Nevermore}

Halloween Decor· Wreaths

 

I love my black and white Halloween Wreath inspired by Nevermore!
 
I cannot think of a creepier, macabre author.  Poe instills a sense of dread and longing that fits my love of Halloween.  The opening stanza of “The Raven” starts with a knocking at the door. Seems fitting that I’m sharing my Halloween wreath with you today!

Materials needed to make your own Halloween Wreath

14 inch foam wreath form
Black and white fabric
Black silk flowers
Black feathers
Black floral picks
Raven
Hot glue gun
Rotary mat, cutter and acrylic ruler

 
  I began this little beauty with some left over fabric from my Dad’s 60th birthday.
 

 

I cut the fabric into strips 2 inch strips and began hot gluing it in place.  Hot glue the end of the fabric to the wreath.  Wrap the fabric strip around the wreath form until you run out of fabric.  Hot glue that end in place.  Beginning where the last one stopped, add the next piece of fabric following the same guidelines.  Repeat this process until the entire wreath form is covered.
 
 

 

 
Once it was altogether, I popped all the silk flowers off their stems.  The stupid things wouldn’t stay in place to SAVE MY LIFE.  I ended up taking a steak knife, piercing through the fabric, and putting hot glue in the new hole.  (That way the little nubbins of the flower had somewhere to lay.)
 
I added some embellishment with the feathers, berries, and the raven to give it a little more dimension.  I am swooning over how it looks against my gray door!

I love how vintage and classy my Halloween wreath looks!  But if you know the poem, it’s also kinda creepy.
