the October wreath I've been meaning to make

I loved Lelly's challenge this week.  But managed to miss out on the Tuesday part of it.  So here I am on Thursday...late on account of my fairly typical self-imposed chaoses.  Yes, there's a long list of things that keep me muddled in the "I've been meaning to do that" list.  

Two falls ago I saw a picture of a similar wreath and have wanted to create one of my own.  It's Halloween without being too haunty.  The supplies were simple:  mini pumpkins from WalMart, styrofoam wreath form and wide silk ribbon from Michael's.  Wrap the ribbon around the styrofoam.  I used an intense glue on the back once in a while to keep it snugly in place.  Then glue on the pumpkins (again, intense glue and overnight drying) and add the bow {which I liked small & long after some experimentation}.

The wreath turned out great. That must be some intense glue to hold your pumpkins on with.

What a cute wreath. I may be stealing that idea from you. I think this is the perfect post for procrastination. I mean, how could you not post a "I've been meaning to" post late?
