8. Gothic Yarn Rose Wreath
For those who prefer a more elegant, Victorian gothic style for their Halloween decor, a gothic yarn rose wreath is the ultimate weekend project. Begin with a circular foam or grapevine wreath form. Wrap the entire form in sleek, jet-black yarn to create a solid, dark background. Next, create a series of yarn roses. You can make these by crocheting simple textured strips and rolling them into flower shapes, or by wrapping red, burgundy, and deep purple yarn around your fingers and securing them at the base to form rosebuds. Arrange these rich, moody flowers along the bottom curve of the wreath, securing them with hot glue. Add some faux black leaves, a few plastic skulls painted gold, or a delicate lace bow to complete this sophisticated, hauntingly beautiful door display.
