Halloween Spider Wreath

With Halloween so close I thought it was a perfect time to complete a quick little project.  I decided on making a wreath for the door.  At first I was going to make it with bats but when I saw these neat spiders, I thought that was a better choice.  This is the kind of project that anyone can do and costs less than $15.00...
All you need is:
14" foam wreath
Burlap (I used the wired ribbon type to make it easier)
Medium size spiders
Push pins
Hot glue

I purchased everything I needed at Wal-mart but I am sure you could get it cheaper somewhere else.
Foam wreath - $4.47
Burlap - $5.97
Spiders - $2.27
Wrap the foam wreath with burlap (overlapping the edges).  Continue all the way around until the ends meet.  This is where you could use the push pins if you need to.  I didn't really need them until the end.  I only used them to hold the ribbon in place until I was able to hot glue it.  Once the wreath was completely covered I cut it and glued it.  I then cut another piece of burlap and used that to hang it.  I glued it to the wreath so that it would stay in place and tied a neat little knot to add some character. Then I glued the spiders to the wreath.  I chose to only put them on part of the wreath so it looked like they were climbing up it.  When the glue was set, I hung it up.  I actually put it on my front door (not pictured there).  This is something that would even look good hanging on a wall.  I hope this gives you a fun and easy project to do.
Have a safe and fun Halloween!!!
