Decorate your door for Halloween with a ceiling medallion

Crafting a spider wreath for halloween is a fun way to spend an afternoon.

Mix in my obsession for creating decorations from holiday-themed candy wreaths that have grown beyond candy. Yes, spiders are my new obsession-inspiration this autumn.

And add in another layer to my craft-creation-obsessions: I was recently inspired by ceiling medallions and their perfect shape as a wreath base.

So I was compelled to make this Halloween door decor that ranks high as my current favorite craft.

Three reasons: easy-to-make, inexpensive, and tons of wow-factor.

After the paint was dry, I spent a meditative afternoon applying about 250 plastic spiders to give the spider wreath a spooky-elegance that reminds me of a lace-like effect from the street.

Who knew it was so easy to help spiders become so sophisticated?
