Step 4
Cut out the larger spider template, trace it onto your card and then cut it out. Bend the spider slightly to give it a more 3D feel.
Step 5
Use sticky tape to attach a length of invisible thread to the back of the spider and then tie it onto the wreath so it hangs inside the crescent.
Step 6
Cut out a few star shapes from the pink glitter card.
Step 7
Arrange your flowers, leaves and stars on your wreath and use a glue gun to stick them into place.
You can customise your DIY Halloween wreath however you like. For a more witchy-feel use cream, purple and green flowers. You could also create a more vampire-inspired wreath by using black and red faux roses.
Step 8
Use the glue gun to create web-like strings of glue inside the top edge near the spider.
