How to Make a Halloween Wreath From Styrofoam

You can make a wreath for your door to celebrate Halloween.

Sitting down to make a Halloween craft can help get you in the spirit come October. A Halloween wreath can be hung on the door to let the whole neighborhood know you're ready to start celebrating the season of witches and goblins. Using a Styrofoam ring and some Halloween candy in spooky colors, you can easily create a decorative wreath that can be saved and used year after year. You can even make one for a friend.

Things You'll Need

• Knife
• Newspaper
• Spray paint
• Hot glue gun
• Wrapped candy in Halloween colors
• Ribbon

Instructions

1. Purchase a Styrofoam ring from a craft store to act as the base of the wreath. If you want to work with a block of Styrofoam you already have, use a sharp craft knife to cut out a ring yourself. The ring should be about 1 foot in diameter.

2. Lay the ring on a sheet of newspaper and paint it orange using a can of spray paint.

3. Heat up a hot glue gun and begin attaching each piece of candy to the ring, one at a time, attaching the body of the candy flat to the Styrofoam. Glue the pieces close together so that virtually none of the Styrofoam shows through. Continue until the whole ring is covered, then let dry.

4. Tie a piece of black satin ribbon in a bow and glue it to the bottom of the wreath to finish it off.
