What do you think? How could it be improved?
You know, wreath making seems simple enough, but this was a difficult project! First of all, the bow... I must have watched 20 tutorials on youtube, and could not figure out how to make that blasted bow. I sat for two hours on a Sunday night while I was watching tv and finally came up with the monster you see now. Secondly, I wasn't sure how to anchor everything. I thought about using a glue gun, but I really did not know if that would hold, so I used wire.
The entire project was about $20. The wreath, ribbon, boo sign, skeleton, and pumpkin all came from Michael's. The bugs came from Walmart.
What are you thoughts? I appreciate your feedback!

I like it! But the bow kind of hides the pumpkin so I'd tuck the ends under to see how it looks and then cut the ends off. LOL That's just me though - here is the wreath I plan on making for Halloween!

I think your wreath is CUTE! I've never tried to make one, it seems very hard to me, lol! I like the pumpkin and ghost!
I would have thought your bow was "professional" :)
I like it! Not bad for $20, I can't believe it! I am impressed that you used wire instead of a glue gun too...nice job!

From someone who is NOT a master wreather LOL, I think its adorable!
I think it's adorable, too! I would hang at The Edge!
My mother is a wreath maker. She can make the most beautiful creations that you would pay loads of money for in a store. She does it with no effort!! Me? I'm totally like you.
Know what Mama told me? Her first ones sucked, too. Ya just work at it. You think you and I will be wreath makers of that caliber in, oh about ten years or so?
p.s. She can whip up a bow in like two seconds. Me? I struggle for hours before giving up.
I am horrible at wreaths but I think you did great!!
