Halloween Wreath {aka Nevermore}

by

  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!

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

I cut it all up into strips and began hot gluing it in place.
 

 
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.

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