Doodlebug Designs Halloween Parade Paper Wreath by Holly Gagnon

Holly here from Ribbons & Glue excited to be back again designing for Craft Warehouse.   

For this project,  I was sent Doodlebug Designs Halloween Parade to play with.  I have to mention, when I opened up my Craft Warehouse supply box, I did let out a lil' ... Eeeek!!  Total appropriate excitement for Halloween, right?

The Doodlebug Halloween Parade collection is a must have for your Halloween projects this season.  

I decided to make a BIG  Halloween statement this year by using the Halloween Parade paper pack to make a festive Paper Ribbon Wreath.

Supplies Used to Make a Paper Ribbon Wreath:

• Wreath Form  (I covered mine in black crepe paper)
• Doodlebug Designs Halloween Parade 12x12 Paper Pack
• Paper Trimmer
• Hot Glue Gun
• Stapler

 

How to make a Paper Ribbon Wreath:

• Cut various sheets of patterned paper into 1 x 5 inch strips.

You'll be cutting LOTS of paper strips.  I ended up using all  11 sheets in the entire pack.  Eeek!

• Fold paper strips in half.
• Staple ends together. {this step just makes life easier}
• Ink edges as desired. 

• Hot glue paper ribbons onto wreath.
• Keep gluing ribbons until the wreath base is covered.  

When your wreath is finally covered  {Phew!} you can now add Halloween Parade embellishments.

Spiders are totally not cute but a spider made of glitter is.  This Halloween Spider is cut from a Lori Whitlock cut file and sits in the middle of the wreath.  

He's a lil' cutie, huh?  The googly eyes and Halloween Parade heart sticker really does make him too cute to spook.  

To make the Halloween sign, I used my Silhouette again to cut another Lori Whitlock  Halloween Label and Scallop Circle cut file.  I layered the sign pieces together then embellished it with various Halloween Parade This and That stickers. To keep up with my cute spider theme,  I adhered googly eyes on to a spider sticker, stuck him on a Halloween Parade Pixie straw and attached it behind the sign.

Thanks so much to Craft Warehouse for having me as a Guest Designer this week!  I hope my design inspires you to make your own festive Paper Ribbon Wreath.
