If you’re looking for an easy and cute Halloween craft, have a go at making this bat wreath.

Making this Halloween bat wreath is so easy you can actually get your kids involved. They can even have a go at making their own!

Have you noticed that the Dollar Tree has been carrying more and more craft supplies and wreath-making items? I’m not sure about the store in your area, but this hasn’t always been the case for mine. Many of my wreath type supplies would typically have to be purchased at Walmart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or another place equivalent.

But since they’ve upped their stock, making cute and inexpensive wreaths is super easy. These wreaths match perfectly with a set of black cat mini pumpkins or another style of Halloween wreath.

WHY I LOVE THIS CRAFT

When it comes to shopping at the Dollar Tree, quite honestly, you never know what you’re going to find. The bat ribbon used for this craft was just one awesome find, but you may also find some with broomsticks, pumpkins, or another design you like.

It’s so neat to see what colors and patterns they’ll have in stock each time I go. And something else I’ve learned… when you see something that catches your eye, get it! There have been many times when I put off picking up a cute ribbon only to go back and realize they’re all gone.

This craft is also great because it can be easily customized for any holiday season. When Christmas rolls around, the Halloween bat wreath can then become a candy cane or Santa Claus wreath, depending on the ribbon you use.

SUPPLIES NEEDED

• Foam wreath (the green one)
• Bat ribbon
  
• Bats (the set of 4)
• Glue gun
• Glue stick(s)

TUTORIAL: How to Make a Dollar Store Halloween Bat Wreath

Here’s a quick step-by-step walk thorough for this craft:

1. Pick a starting point on your green foam wreath and apply a two-inch line of hot glue.
2. Starting with the end of the ribbon, apply it to the hot glue and begin wrapping the ribbon around the wreath. Be sure to slightly overlap each wrap so none of the wreath shows through.
   
3. Once you’ve reached the beginning of where you started wrapping, cut the ribbon.
4. Apply another two-inch line of hot glue and press the cut end of the ribbon on it.
5. Before applying the bats, you’ll need to remove the clips on the back. How you place them on the wreath is totally up to you. My suggestion is to place two of them on the bottom (to cover any imperfections) and two on the top, adjacent from one another.
   

If you’d like to add a bit of variation to your wreath, consider adding the spider webbing entangled with the fake spider rings. You can also add other things to your wreath like a black bow.

The simplicity of this Halloween bat wreath makes me love this craft even more. Because there are only two primary hot glue spots, when it’s time to switch it up for the next holiday, it’ll be super easy to disassemble.
