Spooktacular Decor: Halloween Wreath

Step by Step:

1. This is a great project to get the

children involved! Go out and collect

some fallen leaves in different sizes andcolors cut off the stalks and put them to

one side.

2. Cut out a word strip from Cosmo

Cricket Haunted paper using decorative

blade #2804 in the trimmer side of your #

1040 combo trimmer.

3. Next stamp Imaginisce snag ‘em

stamps onto relevant colored Bazzill;

spider x 1, bat x 4, pumpkin x 4, owl x 3.

Cut them out leaving a slim border and

ink the edges with brown cats eyes ink 

from the chocolate and blueberries

stacker.4. Turn on the laminator. Open some

large hot pockets (I used 3 for my

project) and lay your leaves inside,

spacing them out to allow space for the

lamination to stick between the leaves.

Laminate the sheets supporting them on

some card as they feed through so your

leaves stay in place and supporting them

on the way out so they don’t curl.

5. Open up a 12 x12 hot pocket and

insert your word strip and stamped

images spaced out, close it, laminate it

and switch off the machine.

6. Cut out your laminated leaves, leaving

a margin round each one so the lamina-

tion stays together.

7. Cut out your word strip and stamped

images again leaving a margin round

them so the lamination stays together.

8. Cut a 6 ½’’ diameter circle out of the middle of your clear scraps acrylic XL dot.

9. Punch holes around the inside circle you’ve just cut out and thread with black sparkly thread to make a cobweb in the

middle of your wreath.

10. Build up your design around the circle, overlapping the leaves and attaching them with silicon glue to create dimension

(and to stay stuck in the elements! ) leave the edges of the leaves free so they flutter in the breeze.

11. Adhere your word strip and stamped images in place with silicon.12. Pierce two small holes in the top centre edge of the acrylic circle, add thread and hang on your door to greet all your

spooky visitors. The great thing about this project is not only do you get to preserve the gorgeous autumn colors in the leaves

but the whole thing is also weather proof thanks to the purple cows laminator!
