So, one of my BFFs has an early October birthday. I thought I would give her something cool to decorate her house for Halloween. I had some leftover snakes from two cowboy birthday parties I helped throw this past summer, including on for her son. And what do you do with leftover snakes?
Duh, you make a wreath.
I bought a grapevine wreath at Michael's and picked up a few more rubber snakes from several places. Weirdly they can be hard to find. I used a grey metal paint and spray painted each of them in the grass in my yard. I left a few in their "natural" color - that's the light blue and the two green ones. I also didn't spray paint their tongues - I thought the itty bit of red made them more interesting.
After letting them dry, I spent forever weaving them onto the wreath. I didn't want to use clips or ties. So, they are actually woven through the grapevine shape.
I gave it to her a few days early. And her kids love it. While she doesn't love the snakes, she does like having a cool decoration for Halloween.
