Halloween ruffle wreath

This dainty little Halloween wreath came to us during a blooper craft attempt, actually.
We were trying to create a scrunchy, full wreath from cupcake liners for our Elmer's krazy glue challenge last month but quickly learned it didn't stick to the liners {d'oh!} so we busted out the Elmers fabric & paper glue instead and played around with them until we created this:

We had never seen a cupcake liners look like this type of ruffle so Kelli patted me on the back for creating this.  Thanks, Kell :)  Anyway it was super easy to make but somewhat time consuming... lots of cutting and well worth it, I think!

You can make this with just a few simple supplies:
  • 1 pk. Halloween cupcake liners
  • Flat wooden wreath form ($2 @ Michaels)
  • Sticky craft glue (we used Elmer's)
  • Scissors and a fun partner to keep you sane ;)

To make this you will need to cut the center of the liner out:

And then get to wrapping:
1. Glue the liner to the back of wreath.
2. Wrap the liner around the wreath...
3. Keep wrapping...
4. ...until you have a little liner tail.
5. Add a dab of glue to the liner tail.
6. Press until it's sturdy.  

Then repeat, repeat, repeat until you have a pile of cut liners that go from this to that:

Now to bling it out Halloween style :)
Just add tule, strips of festive ribbon, punched out numbers {downloaded from here} and a cute tag {downloaded from here.} 

Hang and enjoy!

Only 20 days until Halloween!!
Are you ready for those cute trick-or-treaters?
Eek!

    I'd never get that wooden wreath form at our Michael's for $2. Oh Canada, why are you so expensive?
