I started this wreath in August. Yes, August. I got the purple and black mesh on, then stopped. A couple weeks later, I added the green. Then I found the witch legs at Kirkland’s, but they didn’t quite “match” the “look” I was going for. So I made the hat, which led to cleaning all the purple glitter off my floor, which resulted in my disgust of the mess, so I put the hat and wreath aside for a couple weeks. All of this time I was thinking about how I could make all these colors “go” together, and I knew I had to have “the perfect” ribbon to accent the colors in the wreath. I looked wherever I could. I searched flower shops, craft stores, flea markets, garage sales, everything. Couldn’t find it. Then I found something similar to what I’d been looking for on eBay, so I ordered it. 🙂 Not too bad price-wise since it was what I was looking for, but more than I’d like to spend on ribbon. It came in, and I found an old broom craft thing (made of thin little sticks or twigs?) I’d purchased at a yard sale last year….so I painted it green with purple sparkles. It looked very, well, WRONG. So I put it aside again…. because I was tired of thinking about it. Fast forward to a couple weeks later, and I’m at one of my favorite little regional craft stores, Ellis Pottery.  Guess what I find? THE RIBBON. FOR LESS THAN I PAID. (Of course I did!) But there was some other ribbon along side it, that really coordinated well, so I bought it. I got home, added the two coordinating ribbons, the hat, the feet, and realized my broom just looked AWFUL. 😦 I set the wreath aside again. That weekend, I went to Hobby Lobby. They put their Halloween decor on sale, and out of nowhere I found this orange broom, for less than $3! Perfect! So I bought it. I got home, put the wreath all together, added some purple LED lights (That I found at Target last year 90% off!) and I was almost finished. It needed something else. I originally wanted to paint a sign similar to one I found on Pinterest… something like “Flying Lessons by Appointment Only” but didn’t really want that wording for this particular wreath. I then remembered I had this “Welcome” sign for another wreath I was making, so I used it! I think it turned out amazingly well! 🙂 It’s not for sale, not for hanging outside… just an inside wreath. I worked way too hard and way too long for this wreath to get damaged or go to another home! But if you like it, go ahead and copy my idea! Be on the lookout for all these specific pieces though, I picked them up here, and there, and everywhere…. but it was FUN creating it! Even with all the glitter….
