51 DIY Halloween Wreaths

1. Simple Crow Wreath

If you don’t wanna make a fuss about Halloween, this simple crow wreath is perfect for you. It needs absolutely zero effort to make and is a perfect last minute project

Just glue some fake crows to a grapevine wreath and hang it up. Pretty Halloween-y, innit?

2. Colorful Pumpkin Wreath

Pumpkins and Halloween go together like turkeys and Thanksgiving. A colorful pumpkin wreath is a typical Halloween wreath that needs very little effort from you to shine.

Spray paint some artificial mini pumpkins and gourds, and glue them to a circular wreath base. And if you don’t want to add a lot of colors and keep your wreath spooky? Go with orange and black paints.

3. Cupcake Liner Wreath

Want something more creative? Try making a wreath using cupcake liners.

Gather a bunch of orange and black liners (‘cause those are like the Halloween colors), take some of them, and pin them together in the form of a flower. Glue or pin several such flowers to a foam wreath base and you’re done!

4. Painted Clothespin Wreath

Those little clothespins have more than one purpose, people! For example, they can also be used to make a festive wreath.

For a Halloween clothespin wreath, you need to cut out a cardboard ring for the base and glue spray-painted clothespins to it. Go for the festive colors like orange, yellow, black, etc. to paint the pins.

You can hang up your wreath using a large black satin ribbon.

5. Spooky Chevron Wreath

This wreath is cute and creepy! Wrap a wreath base with chevron fabric and embellish with spooky spiders. Crow feathers, fake spider web, and glitter balls kinda add to the creepiness, don’t ya think?

6. Pumpkin and Dead Flower Wreath

Just like how the spring wreaths are filled with beautiful flowers and greens, this one is too, except they are dead, you know, to get that spooky/creepy Halloween feeling.

Get those dead/dried-out flowers (faux or real) and stick them to a black wreath base (either paint it black or wrap it with black ribbon) along with some greens and mini artificial pumpkins.

7. Big Spooky Crow Wreath

Does this wreath remind you of Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries, or is it just me? The spooky and slick black thing this wreath has got going on is just perfect for Halloween.

Just embellish a painted grapevine wreath with a big toy crow, faux dead flowers or glitter floral stems, and add a black ribbon—that’s you need to do for this.

8. Halloween Witch Wreath

Witches are my favorite part of Halloween. Whether they are a part of costumes or decors, no one ever seems to get tired of those spooky beings!

Some cutting and gluing of colorful fabrics, and you get your very own witch wreath. Add in a wooden sign with a spooky message as a finishing touch!

9. Spider Web Wreath

How about a spider web for a wreath? Cover an embroidery hoop with faux spider web and glue some creepy spider toys to it, and bravo you have a very realistic “handmade” spider web wreath. I have a strong feeling that your guests will be spooked by it.

10. Cute Ghost Halloween Wreath

Everyone tries to go for creepy and scary ghosts on Halloween. But you don’t have to go along with the masses.

Make a wreath with cute little ghosts on an embroidery hoop—people will surely go Aww! Surround it with poms and stitch in a cute little spider along with the ghosts—it will look absolutely adorable!

11. Mysterious Mummy Wreath

I have never seen a cuter and more hilarious mummy before! The way the googly eyes are peeking out is mysterious and SUPER CUTE. The wreath is taped with muslin or cheesecloth which act as the mummy’s bandages.

Don’t add any embellishments to this wreath other than what’s absolutely necessary—it’s better to keep the wreath minimalistic.

12. Candy Corn Wreath

Make a tasty wreath this Halloween with sweet candy corn. Glue several little candy corns to a styrofoam wreath base and put it up. The glue will make sure no one plucks them out and eats them!

Hang up your wreath using a black ribbon.

13. Fall Cookie Wreath

Here’s another sweet wreath for you. Welcome the Fall with this autumn leaves wreath that is made using cookie dough!

You can use a readily available cookie dough or a simple sugar cookie mix to avoid the process of making the dough. Paint the cookie leaves and glue them to a circular cardboard base.

14. Halloween Skull Wreath

Now this one is just plain scary and I love it! You’ll need to gather up some spooky styrofoam skulls and paint them black. Tie them together with a super-strong wire and form the wreath.

For extra spookiness, you can add LED battery-led lights to the eye sockets of the skulls. Brrr.

15. Eyeballs Halloween Wreath

Doesn’t it freak you out to see human body parts detached? Well, it does so for me. And if there are people who are anything like me, an eyeball wreath will freak them out.

Make those artificial eyeballs with ping pong balls and googly eyes, and glue them onto a straw wreath base.

16. Felt Blood Wreath

How about some blood and gore this Halloween? This wreath will let you achieve that.

Get a blood-red colored felt, cut it out into circles, and fold and pin them to the wreath base. It sorta looks like red blood cells squished together—perfectly gross!

You can also add a cute little spider to this wreath if you feel like it.

17. Black Cat Wreath

A black cat isn’t just a good Halloween costume but can be a wreath too. And it’s a witch’s favorite pet.

Wrap a styrofoam wreath base with fuzzy black yarn. Then glue the felt cat ears and black pipe cleaners (for the whiskers!) to the wreath.

18. Fabric Candy Corn Wreath

Here’s another candy corn wreath, but this time we are not using actual candy corn. All you need is muslin, colorful canvas fabric, and a bunch of pins. Wrap a foam base with muslin, then pin the folded fabric pieces in the color combination of candy corns.

Don’t forget the black ribbon!

19. Spooky Spider Wreath

Here’s another spider wreath for you—this one looks completely different though. Add a BOO tag (or any other message) to the wreath and a spooky poisonous toy tarantula. The spider web can be created using white yarn.

20. Burnt Paper Flower Wreath

You ever made paper roses as a kid? Then that skill is gonna come in handy here. Even if you haven’t, no worries, this DIY is pretty easy.

Make paper roses and then slightly burn the edges of the “petals”. Glue them to a grapevine wreath and put it up. Add some colors to the roses or other embellishments for more glam.

Pinecones are also for Halloween! Put a bunch of spray-painted green pinecones together, add foam eyeballs and faux sharp teeth—your spooky little monster is ready to make people go “Woah!”.

23. Fancy Spider Web Wreath

This spider web wreath is chic.

You need LOADs of glittery stuff. If you can’t get a glittery foam wreath, simply sprinkle tons of glitters to a basic foam wreath. Add the glittery spider web and spider along with some faux flowers and fabric moss.

Don’t forget the skulls!

24. Skeleton Hands Wreath

Now how cool is this wreath? The shining silver paint truly makes it very funky.

Scare off the trick or treaters with a Purple People Eater Monster wreath! Who are we kidding, they’ll probably burst out laughing when they see this cute and “scary” wreath.

32. Skeleton Wreath

Alright, this seems downright creepy. But hey it’s Halloween, and what’s better than a creepy skeleton wreath?

Gather up all the styrofoam bones and skull and glue them together firmly. The glue that you’ll use will play a major role here. You don’t want the bones coming out one by one—that is spooky.

33. “Beware” of the Skeleton Wreath

Wrap a foam base with a black feather boa and add a skull and skeleton hands. Then add a banner saying “Beware”. This wreath looks chicer rather than proper scary—who said skeleton wreaths couldn’t be stylish?

34.  Black Rose Wreath

Honestly, I don’t think black roses are scary. They are very attractive and hot! But for Halloween, black roses mixed with some purple ones will “darken” up the day.

You can also embellish the rose wreath with faux spiderweb, spooky spiders, and creepy crows.

35. Creepy Crow Wreath

This witch will guard your door like no other! Make her using a straw wreath, socks, feather boa, black tulle, and paper, and give her her famous mode of transportation—the magical broomstick.

You don’t need to make the entire witch, just her hat would make a great wreath design too.
