Stunning DIY Halloween Wreath in Four Steps

In under a few hours you can have a DIY Halloween wreath made with cupcake liners that will put others to shame. It’s so simple – only four steps.

Halloween is just around the corner and I wanted to get started on a couple projects for the house early. My first project was a cupcake liner Halloween wreath!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate around. I try not to go too spooky since I have three little boys. But I do add some spiders and bats around the house (maybe even a skull or two). I wanted to make a new cupcake liner wreath, last year I attempted my first and I LOVED it.

These wreaths are so easy to make (under a few hours), since then I’ve made one for every holiday but giving each one a new spin.

This Halloween wreath looks perfect on my entertainment center. I added a couple more spooky touches to the area and now I’m one step closer to finishing my Halloween decor early.

This time I pulled out my “trusty” Mod Podge to give it a cool glittery effect. Learn how to make this Dollar Tree Halloween craft below!

Gather These Supplies

One of my favorite parts of this Halloween craft is that it’s a pretty inexpensive project. I usually find my packs of cupcake liners on sale for $1.00 each.

Each package has 100 liners, and I always use about 300 liners for my wreaths. Not too bad for a holiday wreath! Way cheaper then going out and buying one new.
