There’s something REALLY cool—and just the right amount of spooky—about DIY Halloween wreaths. They strike that festive-meets-theatrical balance without veering into full-on haunted house mode.
And while store-bought options tend to swing either too creepy or too cutesy, making your own gives you way more control over the vibe (and often ends up looking better anyway 😎).
