Halloween Spider Wreath

I know it's a little early BUT i couldn't WAIT to get the babies sleeping to work on this wreath. I wish I could say the idea was mine but credit goes to a beautiful wreath I saw at themostawesomestoreintheworld Home Goods. It was much more glamorous than mine. It had beautiful voluminous orange feathers. It was also a ton more expensive. I don't remember how much it cost but I saw it and loved it and thought.... hmm... I think I could pull that off. I saw it a few weeks ago and since have been thinking how could I replicate this... Orange feathers - what could I use for orange feathers. I was going to buy a bunch of dusters with feathers and spray paint them orange but that seemed ridiculous after a while. Today I came up with a better solution!

I was in the dollar store to buy my little man some dinosaur toys since he's been obsessed with playing with these at the library. I came across kids' bath sponges - in ORANGE and a lightbulb went off. I proceeded to pickup as many as possible and then skip to the wreath section to pick myself up a little project! :)

I also got these cute spiders. See where I'm going with this?

Here are the bath sponges

I separated the fish from the orange poofy sponge part

And here we go! Just hot glued a bit to the wooden wreath

I started wrapping getting nervous if I would have enough orange poofiness to cover the wooden part...

Not too bad. The pic doesn't show it but I made it loose with as much volume as possible

Oh I also got ONE green fish sponge for my little man (20 months old) since he yelled "GEEN!" I wish he knew how to say orange because I sure could have used just onnnneeee more orange sponge for extra poof 

go go go

almost done

Orange poofy goodness

Now what the heck am I going to do with these bath fishies that lost their home. Sea themed birthday party anyone?

By this point I was giddy - so happy this worked and the wood is covered and now time to kiss the bride stick on my spiders!! muahahaha

It's no fancy expensive home goods wreath but it's mine a la Dollar store and i love it! :) Don't u love it :)

Is it too early to put this up or do I need to wait til October 1??

I'm Linking up here!
