As I was scrolling online, I came across this festive Halloween wreath on the Pottery Barn website.

I thought it would be perfect for my door this year, but yikes, I’mnot willing to pay $59 for it.

I knew I could DIY this for much less.

And as it turned out, I think I like my wreath better.

Wreath Supplies

The clip on bats are available at Dollar tree. You get 4 bats in a package for $1. I purchased 3 packages for my wreath.

My twig wreath was purchased at Hobby Lobby at 50%, off so I paid $10 for it. However, if you already have a grapevine wreath, you could just add twigs to it.

The LED lights I had purchased several years back for a party. I found them at the dollar spot at Target.

Lighting Halloween Wreath

The inspiration wreath from Pottery Barn was lit and I knew that lighting the wreath for Halloween would create a spooky atmosphere for my front porch.

Fairy lights or LED lights are readily available on Amazon, however I found mine several years ago in the dollar spot at Target.

LED lights are great for holidays or parties. In fact we’ve even used them for a wedding to light up the centerpieces on the tables.

Begin by securing the end of the LED lights and then wrap around the twig wreath.

I switched my lights on while wrapping around the wreath. By doing this I could easily see where the lights were placed.

Wrap excess cord from the fairy lights around the back of the Halloween wreath

Once the lights are wrapped completely around the wreath I wrapped the remaining wire around one of the twigs on the back.

Next, I secured the battery pack to the wreath with wire.
