In preparation for the Halloween season, Bentley and I ventured to the Dollar Store to find the following items:
bag of 8 snakes - $1
bag of 'other' insects (the centipede caught my eye) - $1
medium wicker wreath - $1
6 foot leaf garland - $1
green floral wire - $1
and then onto a quick stop at Home Depot for satin black spray paint - $4 (I plan to use it more, oh, much more.)
Using my trusty mini hot glue gun and naptime hours, I constructed the infamous wreath.
While Martha's version didn't have leaves, my puny wicker wreath seemed like it needed a bit more bulk.
Now, when we get home from outings, Bentley consistently points to it and enthusiastically says, "Snakes!"

it's killing me to see the leaves stick out more on the left than on the right... I am walking to the front door to adjust that now. My sense of asymmetrical balance can now be put at ease.
What a fun craft for kids! It looks great, too. I didn't even notice the asymmetry. :)
So crafty! Did you move the leaves to the bottom??
love it regardless. Snakes!!!
thanks thanks! it was fun. ha ha no, I just pulled the leaves out more on the right side, they were tucked back a bit. :)
that's pretty badass.
