Halloween Wreath

My sister, Nicole, requested a Halloween Wreath.  I had never done a Halloween one, only 'Fall,' so this was was going to be an adventure!  I went on a yahoo search looking for any ideas, I found a few. 

Here's how it turned out! 

This was the most challenging wreath I have made.  First, it is a straw base.  As I learned, straw is difficult to work with.  Make sure to have a screwdriver handy to help poke the holes!  Second, not many places carry all black leaves or flowers.  I spray painted everything black with the exception of the feathers, even the straw base.  The rest was easy!
