I started with a styrofoam wreath, unfinished wood circle, unfinished wood letters, Modge Podge, craft paint, crepe paper streamers, scrapbook paper, and some decorative spiders (mine were actually brads from the scrapbook section.)
I took the scrapbook paper and modge podged it to the styrofoam wreath. I painted my wood circle and my letters (B-O-O). I used glow-in-the-dark paint mixed with white craft paint for my mummy eyes and flat black for my letters and the face of the mummy. Then I coated the circle in Modge Podge and wrapped the crepe streamers around the circle to form my mummy head. I hot glued the mummy head to the center of my wreath. I used Modge Podge to attach my letters to the wreath, and then I hot glued some of the brads to the face of the mummy. The other brads I stuck into the styrofoam around the wreath, and voila! Easy Halloween wreath that is cute and not too spooky.... as my kids request. :)

Thanks. I linked up, but for some reason I cannot get your button to work to add it to this post. It keeps saying the html code isn't closed or something. Really weird.
