Twig Wreath with Spiders
Whether you want to greet trick-or-treaters with a ghoulish wreath or add spooky flair to your home, Halloween wreaths are an easy way to set the mood. Choose from grapevine wreaths nestled with crows, foam forms studded with spiders, and more.
To make this spooky DIY wreath, start with a twig wreath base. Wrap it with black yarn to create a spiderweb, then tuck plastic spiders between the webs.
