It’s Monday! Hope everyone has a great day! I was sad to get home yesterday after being at the scrapbooking house in Tyler, TX but I guess it’s back to reality now. Anyways, with Halloween just around the corner, I thought I would make this week and next week Halloween Themed posts. So, let’s get started with my “Easy Quick Halloween Wreath…”
Things Used:
- Wire Wreath Frame 12″-Green
- Elephant Brand Bandanas 100% Cotton Since 1898 – 12 Pack (Halloween 2)
- Singer 8-1/2-Inch Professional Series Scissors Heavy Duty Bent
- Foldable Cutting Mat A3 Self Healing Imperial 18 Inch x 12 Inch – Sky Blue

Before starting my project, I had to decide what color bandanas I wanted to use it. I purchased my Wreath Frame and bandanas from Michael’s Craft Store, but if you can wait a couple of days, I have provided a link above for a better price. For the 12-inch wreath frame I used, it took six packs to fill it.
Step #1:
The first thing I did was lay a bandana out on my cutting mat and measured out 2.5 inches making a cutting mark at each mark. Once finished, I went back and cut all the way across for the length of the bandana on the middle cut where I then had two pieces.
Step #2:
After making my two strips, I stacked them up making sure the cut marks lined up accordingly. Once lined up, I cut all the way up, which then gave me four pieces total.
Step #3:
After I had my four pieces cut accordingly, I then measured out to 7.5 inches to make the strips shorter. This gave me three shorter strips total, two 7.5 inch strips and one a little shorter for each strip with a total of 12 for each bandana.
Step #4:
I repeated this process with all six bandanas.
Step #5:
Once I had all my strips ready to go, I started putting them in place on my wreath frame. The process is as simple as tieing a knot. On the out loop, I used 11 strips alternating the colors. For the next loop up I used nine, then seven for the two inner circles.
There you go! An “Easy Quick Halloween Wreath.” Hope you enjoyed! Be sure to share your Halloween Wreath, would LOVE to see them!
Since I was on a roll on making these wreaths with them being so quick and easy, I made my sister a LSU one and myself a LSU/Saints one.
