How to Make a Nightmare Before Christmas Wreath
This is Halloween! And who better to bedeck your door than the Pumpkin King himself (and his loyal pooch Zero)? Some paper cutouts and a couple of nifty salt and pepper shakers from Disney store will scare up plenty of personality.

- Black twig wreath (spray paint if necessary)
- Floral wire
- Wire cutters
- Craft adhesive

Directions
- Using a black twig wreath as a base, place the moon and hill behind the center using hot glue. On the front, adhere branches, leaves, mini pumpkins, roses and remaining bats. (Hint: try folding the wings of the bats for an even spookier effect.) Then, tuck a mini fence in front of the hill.
- Attach shakers by threading floral wire through the stopper holes and wrapping onto the wreath. Glue black and white ribbon pieces to the backs of shakers to create Jack’s collar.
- Print the provided templates and trace onto the cardstock. Attach the hill and a few smaller bats to the moon with strong craft adhesive.
- Top it off with our hero, Zero (don’t forget to color in his nose!) and hang with a large black and white ribbon.
