Easy DIY Halloween Wreath – Trick Or Treat

Easy DIY Halloween Wreath – Trick Or Treat

For this Halloween diy decorations, I have made Halloween souvenir boxes-spook boo eek, Halloween coasters, Halloween pumpkins sign, and on this post I made Halloween Wreath – trick or treat. It’s super easy!

I made this easy wreath less than an hour. And I only used things that I have already had, some are from my craft or party supplies; and some are from re-used things. I managed to have the colors in dominant orange and black, as I consider it really goes well together and of course because that’s the most available colors I have on my supplies 😀

Let see what are the things that I collected together to form this Halloween wreath :

  • Orange crepe paper (I bought this like a week ago; I was sure that I was going to use it somehow on my Halloween projects)
  • Paper plate 9 inches – polka-dots (from my party supplies)
  • Paper plate 5 inches – gold (from my party supplies)
  • Black paper (from my craft supplies)
  • Checkerboard ribbon (from my kid’s party supplies)
  • Orange-green pattern paper (re-using paper wrap from a gift I received)
  • glue
  • white gel pen
  • Wave edge craft scissors

How to do?

  1. Cut orange crepe paper around 3 inches (7 cm) and fold it while you glue it to the edge of the big paper plate in circle evenly.
  2. Cut the gift wrap paper in the same length and fold it, then glue it to the big paper plate too, with around 1.5 inches apart from the crepe paper.
  3. Cut orange crepe paper again around 3 inches (7 cm) and fold it while you glue it to the edge of the big paper plate in circle evenly. Give around 1.5 inches distance.
  4. Cut and fold the checkerboard ribbon, then glue it one by one around the crepe paper.
  5. Cut the wavy pattern of the black paper in circle and glue it to the paper plate to close the ribbon’s edges.
  6. glue the gold paper plate in the middle.
  7. Cut another black paper in circle with the diameter of the inner gold plate with wave edge craft scissors.
  8. Write the “Trick or Treat” in the middle of the circle black paper by using white gel pen in a pretty way.
  9. Then glue the written black paper to the gold paper plate.
  10. Add a hanger from checkerboard ribbon on the back of the big paper plate (wreath).
  11. Hang the Halloween wreath on your front door or by the mantle, finished!

STYLE YOUR DESK WITH DAILY COLOR MOOD- BLACK

Style your desk with daily color mood – black. To make something pop up, use the 30-60-10 Rule

STYLE YOUR DESK WITH DAILY COLOR MOOD- BLACK

Black Monday – it’s time to get serious!

For me, in order to do something, I need enough space and a mood. Since my activity is more to crafting, drawing, writing, so I need a descent table that big enough for my working area. And to bring up the mood, I need a good atmosphere to work. That can be achieved with the easiest way by styling your desk.

I love white color, looking clean and expensive, very sophisticated. Also, it goes with any color. So, I have this working white desk. It’s like a blank canvas. You can style it in any color. Since today it’s Monday, im going to style it with the color black. it looks serious and Monday is the first day of the week. It will determine the rest of the week. So, get serious. Let’s style your desk with daily color mood – black.

Basically I have some things that I love and need very much that I want it to be in my desk all the time. That things are my white laptop, my inspiring words decoration, my lovely white roses, my pencils, etc. So all of that will stay while the rest will be the element of decoration, it can come and go, just like the mood.

To make something pop up, use the 30-60-10 Rule (from HGTV tips), 60% of a dominant color, 30% of a secondary color, 10% of an accent color. 60% of a more neutral color, you need a blank canvas actually. 10% accent for the pop up thing or color that you want. 30% of complimentary color which would not overshadow the accent, yet not too neutral and become the 60%.

See, on my setting, the 60% dominant color is grey looking (the wall), the 30% secondary color is white (table, wall shelve and everything) and the 10% accent is black (here and there, black things).

It does not have to be masculine with black. But black can be powerful feminine. Give some elements that will soften the color black. The white roses, polka dots round bag, surely soften the color black.

So, do you like the style? Now, it’s your time to try style your desk with daily color mood – black. It’s time to get serious, gals!

Creative black Monday!

See you on Tuesday!
