10 Days of Halloween .... day 10!

Welcome to our final day of the 10 Days of Halloween series!  I'm sharing my favorite project with you today.  We made this wreath in our Halloween Treat Class last month.  I had a TON of retired Halloween Designer Series Papers and decided to use them in class.  Each wreath was a little different and we had several color schemes going on.  This is a great project to use up your retired papers.  This would make a beautiful Christmas wreath, or Valentines Day wreath, or for any occasion.

This is the one I have hanging up in my house.  I gave my girls the other two for their dorm rooms.

Here's a selection of what some of the class attendees made.  

I used a selection of retired papers.  The paper was cut in 12" x 1-1/2" strips and each wreath used 26-27 strips of paper.  The ends were flagged and they were wrapped around a 12" chipboard wreath from Hobby Lobby.  The ghosts are from the Paisley Framelits Dies and faced stamped with the Playful Pals stamp set.  The "happy" is cut with the Hello You Thinlits Dies.  The "HALLOWEEN" is cut with the Large Letters Framelits.  I used a variety of Glimmer Paper and card stock to coordinate.  LOVE IT!!!
