Materials for your Monster Wreath DIY

White or black foam board
Black acrylic paint if using a white foam board
Pompoms of different sizes and colors
Googly eyes
Craft glue – Craft glue is soooo much better than regular white glue – do yourself a favor and get some.
Floral wire – you only need about 6″ so any thin wire you may have lurking in the garage will work.

Step By Step Instructions

Cut a wreath out of the foam board.

My wreath is 12″ in diameter and the rim is 1 1/2″ wide. I made the circles with a pencil attached to a string pinned to the foam board and cut it with an Xacto knife.

My foam board was white so I painted it black. If you’re buying a foam board for this project, just go ahead and get a black one to make your life easier. I just used what I had on hand.

Glue the pompoms on the wreath.

Glue the big pompoms first to make sure you have room for them. Continue with the medium pompoms and fill in any holes with the little ones.

Glue the googly eyes:

Use different sizes on different pompoms. One eye on a pompom is what we liked best, but 2 or 3 also worked. Let your imagination go wild. We thought giving eyes to every pompom would be too overwhelming, so we had fun and added them as we saw fit.

Attach the wire:

Cut about 6″ of floral or other wire.Use a pin to make 2 holes and string and twist the wire to make a hanger.

Your monster birthday party wouldn’t be complete without it! AND, you can store it and use it again at Halloween. I love it when you can re-use party decor!!

Monster Wreath FAQs

What supplies do I need to make a monster wreath?

You only need a few craft store staples: foam board, pompoms in assorted sizes and colors, googly eyes, craft glue, and a small piece of wire for hanging. Easy peasy!

Do I need to paint the foam board black?

Only if you grab a white one — which, honestly, just buy the black one and skip that step entirely. Future you will say thank you.

How do I hang the monster wreath on my door?

Just poke two small holes in the back of the foam board with a pin, thread about 6 inches of floral wire through, twist it into a loop, and you’ve got yourself a hanger. Done!

How many pompoms do I need for one wreath?

About 100 or so of different sizes should do the trick — start with the big ones first so you don’t end up playing a very stressful game of pompom Tetris at the end.

Can I use this wreath for Halloween AND a monster birthday party?

Yes, and this is honestly the best part — make it once, use it twice! It works great as Halloween door decor and as a monster party decoration, so you’re getting serious bang for your craft buck.
