Orange Fur and Glittery Ribbon Halloween Wreath I really shouldn't be allowed into Hobbycraft unsupervised. Last week I came back with a huge bit of orange fur which I bought for no reason other than it was really cool. I wasn't sure what to do with it so, after a range of questionable ideas, I finally settled on a Halloween wreath. I cut a strip of fur, long enough to go all the way round the polystyrene ring and wide enough to wrap around it with a small gap at the back. I sewed up the back by simply 'zig-zagging' between the the edges. Once I'd gone all the way round I could gently rearrange any lumps and then give the cotton a final tightening to keep it all in place. I turned it the right way up and smoothed the pile of the fur in one direction so it sat flat before wrapping a glittery black ribbon around it an securing at the back. I then 're-fluffed' the fur. I made the spider out of part of a kit from Hobbycraft, sticking the two foam balls together to form the head and body, poking in pipe cleaner legs and adding a face, all secured with a little glue. Once he had dried the spider was added to the wreath, crawling out of the middle (in a fairly non-menacing way). The wreath has taken pride of place in the living room along with fluttering bats and all manner of pumpkin
