DIY Halloween Wreath
Made with T-shirts and a Pool Noodle!
One afternoon my friend and I were scrolling through Pinterest for a quick and festive Halloween craft idea. When we found this adorable yarn door wreath we knew we just had to make one for ourselves!
I stocked up on pool noodles when they went on clearance knowing that wreath making season was soon to be upon us and I always have yarn and other craft materials on hand so we went straight to work.
We worked our pool noodles out, making sure they were flexible enough to give us a perfect circle. I didn't add a dowel or any inner support to mine and you can see it's already begun to sag from the top. Make sure you don't skip out on that step.
I got distracted by kids while my friend started wrapping her yarn. I watched as she wrapped and wrapped and wrapped and wrapped. That did not look like fun to me. I knew if I got started that I would never finish. I'm not that patient I guess. So I dug through my craft box for something easier.
I found 2 t-shirts and thought- YES! Perfect!
I love crafting with t-shirts since they don't fray and you can do virtually anything with them. I got these black and white 3XL shirts for $0.50 at Walmart a while back. They had more than enough fabric to them so I cut them up.
I cut 6 rectangles about 4 x 6 inches out of each t-shirt. I wrapped each rectangle around the pool noodle then hot glued it on to it self. Be careful because the hot glue melts the pool noodle away pretty quick. I made sure to tuck the edge of each t-shirt piece in under the one beside it for a cleaner look.
I added black tulle and orange fabric flowers and was done long before my friend even got half way around with her wreath.
If you're not one for spending all night wrapping yarn try a t-shirt wreath next time you're in a crafting mood!
