Halloween Wreath on a Picture Frame

I knew I was going to make a Halloween wreath on this picture frame after the late summer picture frame wreath was so popular.  It is so fun to start with a creative base like these inexpensive Ikea UNG Drill frames.halloween-wreath

I know this looks a little stark with a white wreath on a white door, but I will be putting this white frame on my dark green front door, so keep reading!  In this case I decided to hang the frame upside down, so the larger ornamentation is at the bottom.  You will see why as we progress.  For now all I did was drape a scrap of red fabric on one side of the frame.  diy-halloween-picture-frame-wreathI cut about 1/3 off of a block of Sahara dry floral foam.  I took the larger piece and wrapped a piece of chicken wire around it.  This will keep the foam from cracking apart as you start to stick your florals into it.  diy-fancy-halloween-wreath-on-a-picture-frame

Secure the chicken wire frame around the floral foam with chenille stems and leave them long to use to attach this to the picture frame. diy-halloween-wreath-on-a-picture-frameUse the chenille stems to wire your block of floral foam securely to the top of the frame.  make-a-halloween-wreath-on-a-picture-frame

This is what you will have at this point and you will begin adding your florals now.making-a-halloween-wreath-on-a-picture-frameMy first step was to add some long black florals that will define how long my arrangement will be.diy-halloween-wreath-tutorialThe next step was to add some of white leaves with black veins on them.  I cut these off of the stem they came on so that I could add them in small clusters or individual leaves. add-black-spray-paint-to-red-roses-for-a-spooky-look

To give my red roses a spooky look, I gave them a light spraying of black spray paint.

I began to add the roses to my wreath. creative-halloween-wreathI filled out the rest of arrangement with the rest of my red roses.  I used a couple of better quality silk roses and filled in with red silk roses from the Dollar Tree store.

  1. Chloe, that looks totally awesome! With the snake plants (aka mother-in-law’s tongue) flanking the door, it’s perfect for the season. Bravo!
    I hope you are nowhere near the path of Matthew. It’s frightening. I pray for you and all of my friends and family (there are many) who may potentially be affected. Stay safe!

  2. Beautiful and easy wreath to create, thank you so much for sharing with us. I must ask what is an “S” pin? And where do we find them?

    1. Thank you! They are also called greening pins or fern pins. I have added a link to where you can buy them or see what they are in the shopping list above. They are very inexpensive, but a much needed item. You can probably pick them up at a local craft store also.

  3. Beautiful wreath! Can you tell me what the black floral is? I have searched everywhere and cannot find anything that comes close to what you used. Thank you!
