Fishing Rope Wreath
By Lori-lee Thomas
Supplies
- Fishing rope (preferably found on the beach)
- Glue gun and glue sticks
- Metal wreath form
- Protective gloves (gardening gloves work in a pinch)
- Extra spooky critters and nets
Assembly
- Flip the wreath form over and hot glue a piece of rope to itself on the back.
- Continue wrapping the piece of rope tightly, gluing the end to the back of the wrapped rope. Continue with another piece by gluing it to the previous rope end until the wreath is covered.
- Overlap different types of rope and stagger contrasting colors to make for an interesting wreath.
Pro tip: For this wreath I used black and orange rope for Halloween, but I also added bits of netting and plastic spiders for extra spookiness.
