I wanted to make a "spooky" wreath for my front door, but didn't want to spend a fortune on it. I am a rather tight person when it comes to spending money. So, I thought I would check out the dollar store to see what they had in store for me. This is what I found, a bag of fall leaves (the bag said there was 90, but I only counted 81. And I counted twice!) and a floral wreath. So far I have only invested two smackaroos! I already had a can of black spray paint at home.
Then I sprayed the floral wreath and all the leaves with matte black spray paint. Once it dried, which didn't take any time, I hot glued the leaves to the wreath along the sides and the front. (I am thinking of buying another bag of leaves to finish off the back.) Then I tied a piece of black ribbon to it. I like it this way, but I feel that it needs a little "umph".
This is what it looks like before. Don't you agree?!?!? Needs something.

So now I have this cute little sign and I thought, why not? I'll add it to my 2 dollar wreath. Now it has a little something extra and I still didn't invest anymore into it.
I can't decide if I like it like this or if I need to put it on there differently. Either way, not bad for $2! I am thinking the dollar store is my new craft store.
My daughter is amazing!
