I have had this project done for over a month and keep forgetting to post about it – LOL.
I love the Gothic Glam of the black fabric and silver glitter!! And all the materials came from Dollar Tree — so this is a VERY affordable project.
I found some $1 T-shirts at my local Dollar Tree and decided they might make a spooky Halloween wreath. I bought the largest size I could find — 3XXL.
This was a 30 minute project!
Supplies:
- Black T-Shirt {I used one 3XXL t-shirt, but you could also use a couple smaller tees}
- Wreath form {also form the Dollar Store}
- Spider Web and Spider — $1 for both from the Dollar Store
- Glitter {I used some Silver Martha Stewart Glitter}
- Misc. Ribbon
Directions:
- Take Wreath form, wrap in coordinating ribbon. I found my ribbon at Walmart. It’s indoor/outdoor ribbon and super inexpensive.
- I cut up the t-shirt into small 1 inch wide by 5 inch long strips.
- Then I tied the strips onto the wreath form, tying at different points, so the whole form was covered.
- I spray painted the web silver.
- After the wreath form was full of fabric, I took a piece of twine and looped it through the web and tied it to the top of the wreath form so it would hang in the middle of the wreath opening.
- Then I glittered up the spider.
- The last thing I did was glue the spider on the wreath and add some ribbon to the top of the wreath so I could hang it.
Super easy and fast!!
Now I have a Dark, Gothic Halloween Wreath to ring in the {SPOOKY} Holiday!!
And for $4 — who can pass up that up??
And another idea would be to take the t-shirt strips and make a garland with a few glittered spiders – that would be spooky fun too!

PS — It’s Friday!!!
Almost time for my favorite time of the week — The Weekend Wrap Up Party!! Last week we were SO close to reaching 1,000!! I decided that if we reach 1,000 entries this week, I will choose a random entry and send them a little something from TT&J. It’s a surprise. I think it’s SO fun to see so much creativity all in one place. It makes my heart sing!!! I hope you will link up. The party starts at 6 PM MST.
And, have you ever made anything out of Wine Corks? You can get them from restaurants and craft stores too. Check out these 10 Wine Cork Projects – they are amazing!

Tag your it Challenge!
This is so pretty! And thrifty too! Even better! 😀
Adorable! Brilliant use of the big tshirts. And I love the touch of green!
What a cute wreath! I love that you used a $1 tshirt! That much material at the fabric store would have cost way more than $1! I hope you had a great week! I can’t wait to link up some of my fun Halloween projects tonight:)
I love the way this came out! The glitter totally jazzes it up! thanks for sharing:D
I am SO doing this! Love it. Thank you 🙂
Love this wreath; easy , inexpensive and so cute. One of the most creative Halloween wreath ideas I have seen.
I just posted my inexpensive Halloween/fall wreath out of my old, ripped work pants and a felted orange sweater. I used a similar technique of cutting the pants into strips and tying them on. I’ll link it this weekend!
I’m a librarian and did a program making wine cork trivets with our patrons!
