Skulls, Spiders And Some Spook!
DIY Glittery Skeleton Wreath
If you want to make a bright visual statement, then this is the wreath for you. And unlike many other wreath designs, it takes very little time and effort. Just some glitter, a few skulls and a simple wreath will suffice. If you somehow have any creepy glow-in-the dark skulls, that works too! [from: Please Note Paper]
Vintage Skulls and Spider Wreath
Here is another great wreath idea that looks different and also quite classy. The vintage look is the flavor the season and this skulls and spider wreath has a cool factor that is simply undeniable. Crafted using vintage papers with circles, some acrylic paint and a black frame, it carries a rugged, old Wild West charm! [from: mod podge rocks blog]

Eerie DIY Snake Wreath
You must have come across plenty of hearths that use bats and spiders, but snakes are definitely something new. And when you think about it, they seem to be a perfect fit for the wreath. Crafted using a simple wreath, plenty of plastic snakes and black spray paint, it does have a certain dark appeal about it! We tip our hat to its ingenious maker… [from: mcillece spot]
Really Spooky Halloween Wreath!
We call it a ‘really spooky’ design because it is the only one that comes with the word. An old grapevine wreath was used to create this design along with some black paint (yup, that seems a must for almost every Halloween DIY project) and an old sign that spells out the word spooky. Throw in a plastic cobweb or two along with some satin string on top and it is ready for Halloween week. [from: just a girl blog]
Gorgeous Halloween Grey Wreath
This is an absolute minimalist’s delight and we love this wreath not just for its aesthetic brilliance, but also for the simplicity it brings along. All you need here is a Styrofoam wreath, some yarn and those bat silhouettes we discussed above. Best part is that you can get it done in under $7! Add some orange and black strips if you want a more Halloween vibe. Perfect idea for the dorm room. [from: eighteen25]
Goth-Styled Halloween Wreath
Not all of us are fans of big, black birds. But if ravens and crows perched on a wreath is your idea of a perfect front yard, then this is the DIY wreath idea for you. The Goth-like design is indeed pretty stylish and it does look outstanding when set against a shiny, white door. Imagine a bit of smoke and dim purple lighting along with this and the image of Goth is complete. [from: katydidandkid]
Fun Spider Web Wreath
There is room for some fun wreath designs as well and this one is as adorable as it gets. Now, making a spider look cute is a hard task and this wreath does that with amazing ease. Original and delightful, it is break from the usual. [from: kaminskis creations]

Combining ghostly white with creepy black, it almost makes us feel a touch uncomfortable. There is nothing cartoony or over the top about this grave-looking design!

Hanging Spider Web Wreath
This project has been crafted using a pair of ladies pantyhose to create the spider’s web design in the wreath! An easy DIY wreath to fashion, all you need here is a Styrofoam wreath and the giant spider to hang precariously at the center. You can add orange and black ribbons to make the design far more attractive.[from: lizziejanebaby]
Colorful and Crafty
Felt Flower Halloween Wreath
Halloween is indeed all about an orange overdose and if you cannot get those little pumpkins on as a wreath, then why not go with the warm and fuzzy felt. The beautiful wreath fills up any space it adorns with ease and the hints of black all around complement it perfectly. You can improvise with additional decorations, but the wreath in itself looks simply fabulous. A great DIY project for this weekend! [from: livinglocurto]
Scary Night Yarn Wreath
This is not all that different from a simple yarn wreath and if you have one already done, then just add a spooky scene as the backdrop to finish it. Obviously intricate embroidery looks really great and adds texture, but 3D prints are work as wonderful substitute too. [from: etsy]
DIY Ceiling Medallion Wreath
Couple a small orange wreath with a painted black ceiling medallion and you will be stunned at the sophisticated result that you achieve. There is very little else to do here other than to put the hang giant circles together in style. For sheer simplicity, this DIY takes the top honors. Spray, wrap and hang… Simple as that!

Colorful DIY Candy Corn Wreath
At the heart of this DIY design is a feeble foam wreath that soon disappears in a bright and delightful bundle of color. Get half a yard of orange, yellow and white fabric along with loads of pins and get started with this beauty. Spend a couple of fun hours pinning away and your candy corn wreath is done!

Black Licorice Wreath
How about treating your guests with some licorice right away? Considering how tick-or-treating is such an integral part of the Halloween night, a licorice wreath is not a bad idea at all. The big orange flower was made out of paint chips, but you are free to experiment with some orange candy as well. Talk about a wreath that gives you a sweet tooth! [from: saved by love creations]
Upcycled Candy Corn Wreath
Is that old and dull twig wreath just sulking in the basement year after year? There is no need to throw it out just yet. In fact, showcase it as a prized possession this Halloween. All you need is some spray paint in white yellow and orange. Once again, it is the simplest of ideas that delivers an amazing makeover. A perfect wreath if you love both recycling and Scandinavian design! [from: in between laundry]
Happy Halloween Wreath!
Time to move away from the more scary and gruesome side of Halloween to a more fun and celebratory mood. This bright and bubbly wreath gets that task accomplished by using what seems like a truckload of ribbons! It definitely stands out when place alongside the more gloomy wreath designs. And the big ‘31’ is a nice touch to go along as well; just in case someone like me forgets the date. [from: tatertots and jello]
