For example, you can decorate your house with such a decorative wreath, and how to make it. We will tell you in this master class.

Materials and tools

So, to make a Halloween decoration with your own hands, we will need:

• packing dense cardboard;
• fabric of orange color;
• tulle of black color;
• orange and green felt;
• colored paper of black color;
• coil threads of green color;
• sewing needle;
• scissors;
• A simple pencil;
• any yarn of black color;
• thin satin ribbon of black color;
• glue thermo gun.

Description of work

1.Let's start by making a frame for our decorative wreath. To do this, we will need thick packaging cardboard, get hold of it, because boxes for packaging various goods are made from such cardboard. Draw one circle on the cardboard, approximately 18 centimeters in diameter, and inside it, exactly in the center, the second one, approximately 15 centimeters in diameter. This can be done with a compass, or using suitable round objects as a stencil, for example, plates, saucers, cups, pot lids, etc. Cut out the drawn ring along the contour with scissors.2.Next, take a piece of any suitable orange fabric and cut it into strips, approximately 2.5-3 centimeters wide. Fix the edge of the fabric tape with a drop of hot glue to the back of the cardboard base and wind the strip onto it overlapping, thus filling a little more than half of the ring. Glue the end of the fabric to the cardboard using a hot glue gun.3.Now take the black tulle and cut out a strip about 10 centimeters wide, crumple it in width and wrap the remaining part of the wreath base with fabric in this form. We also fix the edges with hot glue.4.The next step is to take black yarn, in our case it is viscose ribbon yarn and wrap it around the entire base in a circle, first in one direction and then in the opposite direction, as if our wreath was woven with a web. To prevent the thread from unraveling, we additionally fix it in several places, on the back side of the work with hot glue.5.The wreath base is ready, we can move on to decorative elements. According to our idea, the decoration will feature one of the main attributes of the autumn holiday - pumpkins, for their manufacture we will need orange and green felt. We apply the previously prepared paper stencil of fruits to the fabric and cut out two main orange parts and two green tails.6.To make our pumpkins look as real as possible, we sew tails to them and also embroider veins on each one using a needle and green thread. We use the most common stitch "needle forward", we try to make the stitches small and not too dense.7. These are the wonderful pumpkins we got.8.Our wreath will also be decorated with several bats. To make them, take a sheet of black paper, fold it in half and draw half of a mouse silhouette on it with a simple pencil. The fold line of the paper should be in the center of the future bat (see photo below).9. Carefully cut out the silhouette of the bat along the contour; we will need three of them for the wreath.10. Now that all the elements are ready, let's move on to decorating the wreath. Let's start with the pumpkins, we glue them with a drop of hot glue, each on the dark side, one higher and the other slightly lower.11. On the opposite orange side, glue the bats cut out of paper with hot glue.12. Next, from a thin black satin ribbon, form a small bow and glue it in the center at the bottom of the decorative wreath.13. We also need to make a loop, thanks to which the decoration can be hung on the front door or just on the wall. A strip of fabric, ribbon, strong thread, etc. will do for this.14. Our Halloween decoration, decorative wreath – is ready!
