Haunting the Yard

 
A little graveyard I put in the backyard.  The kids have begged me in the past to decorate more for Halloween.  One year the older boys picked out the tombstones.  Not something I would have picked out, but the kids really had fun that year putting the graveyard up.  

  I'll  show you how to make a spiderweb wreathThis is more my type of decorating.  I purchased a 12-inch grapevine wreath and I took it apart and made it a little thinner.  I reduced the grapevines by about half.  I got the wreath at Walmart for around $3-4.

 Next, I placed a pre-made spiderweb right over it.  Then I wired it on in three places and made a loop to hang it by.  (The spiderweb was $1 at Dollar General Store.)

 I then found this ribbon at Walmart to add to my wreath.  The roll of ribbon was $2.

I wrapped the ribbon through the wreath and the outer edges of the web.  When I got to the end I just cut and folded the edges to fit and taped them down on the back, so I can reuse this nice wired ribbon again.

Here is the finished wreath haunting the front door.  The bow was also sold at Walmart pre-made for $2.  I just tied it on.
