A Black Wreath, Orange Yarn, and a Crow Set the Halloween Mood

I mixed fall decorations with Halloween details for my son’s party, starting with a wreath painted black. Orange silk yarn, pinecones, feathers, and a crow gave it the look I wanted without a haunted-house display.

How I decorated the wreath

I spray-painted the wreath black, then wrapped orange silk yarn around the larger vine sections. I painted pinecones black and added two black feathers and a crow.

A candy wreath for my younger son

I also made a small Styrofoam wreath with candy for Jack. He could choose one piece after finishing his homework, so the wreath was something to pick from over time.

For another wreath with a painted base, see my red grapevine wreath with burlap flowers. The witch-hat planters on our porch carried the Halloween details outside.
