I’ve shared before my love of wreaths.
Must be the southerner in me. Got a door, gotta hang a wreath on it. And gotta change that wreath with every season.
My fallish Halloween front porch features no less than three festive handmade wreaths. It’s a big front porch, and can you ever have too many wreaths?
This skeleton wreath I whipped up over the weekend is one of the ones on display on my front porch.

I just used a black wreath form and embellished it with some awesome skeleton ribbon (similar to this ribbon) ) Some purple glittery foliage (leftover from last year’s Halloween decorations), some glittered skeletons and a foam skull make for a spooky wreath indeed.
For tips on how to work with this type of wreath form, check out this post.
I’m calling this the ‘Til Death Do Us Part Skeleton Wreath because I think it looks like the two hanging skeletons went to the gallows together.
I think the skeleton on the left looks feminine, while the one on the right looks like a dude. (I watch a lot of “Bones,” so I’m sure my forensic analysis is correct.) I’m pretending they were a pair on the way to the altar when tragedy befell them. This was not exactly the honeymoon this pair were expecting, I’m sure.

Hi Amie,
It was nice to meet you at the Southern bloggers Conference and congrats to you and all the others that put on a great event. Jane and I really enjoyed it. I’m now a big fan of Atta girl.

Amy, Thanks so much for the sweet comment on my Conference post, I really had a blast and loved meeting everyone. I felt like I was hanging out with people who really just “got” me and it was great. Wonderful meeting you! -April

What a cute wreath! Or maybe cute isn’t the right word when talking about hanging skeletons, but… Whatever. Love it!

Hey …Wilmington, NC …that’s where our businesses are! Small world, isn’t it? 🙂 And I love New River Pottery, especially now when the Christmas Decorations are being put out! We just got a Hobby Lobby last month, too! (It’s front of Independence Mall) …anyhow, your wreath is SO cute! Love the touches of purple!
Can’t wait for the conference this weekend! Thanks to you and all the other ladies who worked so hard to put it together! 🙂

When I was there, they were just starting to put out Christmas at New River. I’m sure the completed display is fabulous!
Can’t wait for this weekend either! Cannot believe the date is almost here.
