Give him a pointy hat and an orange heart, of course! I made another crepe paper wreath. You might remember I made a Christmas one. I've been wanting one for Halloween and finally got around to it.
Just like the Christmas one, this is made on a mason jar ring. I've got the video for the Christmas one below. It's made exactly the same way.
One tip for this one: the skeleton is a lot heavier than the deer and tree on the other. So, I knew I would have to counter-balance it, so the wreath wouldn't hang lopsided. The answer I came up with was hot gluing two pennies together and then hot gluing those to the ring on the opposite side from the skeleton. Then I wrapped the ring with crepe paper.
Here's the video:
Only you can make a skeleton so cute, Lori :D Fab work!
