A Feather Boa Halloween Wreath

I LOVE Halloween...and I have been putting out our decorations for the last couple of weeks.  I know it is early but I am hosting the 3rd Annual Broomsticks Bitches and Brew Ball (a.k.a. The Witch's Ball) with my Bestie in just 2 weeks so I have to be on the ball. (pun totally NOT intended!)

As I was putting the decorations out I had a spot that really needed something and I have this wreath holder I had picked up at my sister's neighborhood yard sale...they actually had 2 of them and now I am wishing I had just bought both.  My mom said that would probably happen -- so apparently even now I don't listen to my mother! ;)

Anyway, I pulled out the wreath holder but alas, I had no wreath.  Not too long ago I actually picked up a bag of styrofoam wreath forms from the thrift store near my office.  There were 5 of them in assorted sizes and I got them for $2!  SCORE!  

So I grabbed the biggest one and threw it on the wreath holder...then looked at it for a couple of days until I could figure out what exactly to do with it.  Getting ready for work one morning I noticed I had some black feather boas left over from the Mother Daughter Dance I did with my daughter at her recital a couple of years ago...

And inspiration hit! (totally HOT, right?  LMAO!) 

So I took the wreath form and the feather boas -- turned out I actually had 3!

and I just started wrapping them around the styrofoam.  I didn't want to commit too much with this wreath as I want to be able to use the feather boas again so I just used stick pins to secure the ends. 

Then I went by Michaels to pick up a few pieces to add to it.  Hunky Hubby kept saying it needed something orange so I took his advice to heart and picked these babies up...

I love the BOO sign and it actually hangs on a chain.  Since I am so non-commital with this wreath it just hangs on the wreath hanger.  PERFECT!  I attached the bow and then one of the spiders.  The bow attached easily enough since it had twist ties on it and then once again I used stick pins from the sewing box to keep the spider in place.  I used pins with yellow balls on the ends so I just grabbed a black sharpie to color them so they would blend in.  It took a matter of minutes to put it all together...

What do you think?

I am LOVING it!  I added it back to the top of the entertainment center.  Will post a pic of its final resting place soon...just have a couple of other things to add before I do :)
