These fun and simple spooky bat wreath is sure to make a spooky splash this Halloween!I have a wreath addiction.  At least, I have an addiction to Pinning wreaths.  But then I don’t make them, because the most beautiful ones are always so time consuming, and also because I can’t hang a gorgeous yarn wrapped wreath with handmade cloth flowers on my door!  I live in Colorado for goodness sake!  That wreath would be trashed in one winter day.  But I did want something on my door, so I came up with an idea for a crazy easy and (hopefully) weather resistant bat wreath.  Check it out.
Ths fun and simple spooky bat wreath is sure to make a spooky splash this Halloween!1.  First I headed over to JoAnn’s Fabrics and grabbed spray paint and two twig wreaths.  Those wreaths are so cheap, even without coupons!  Score.  I saw these pre-cut glittery foam bats in the kid craft area and I thought to myself, “Sure, why not?”  Foams seems more waterproof than fabric!  Then I grabbed a sheet of glittery black foam as well for the letters.
