Kids love this Creepy, Crawly Halloween Wreath; You’ll love the Dollar Store price tag!

It’s creepy, it’s crawly, a little kitschy, and a lot of fun! This kid-approved Halloween wreath rated a “that’s so cool, mom” from my 12-year old. My rating? It’s a mom-approved, super-cheap and super-easy Halloween craft. Around this time of year, I always check out the local Dollar Store to see what’s new for our Halloween décor. This year, the colorful bags of bugs, right next to the Creepy Cloth, caught my eye. Less than an hour later, our Creepy Crawlie Halloween Wreath emerged.

      It’s just like cheesecloth, Eileen. It’s a great, cheap way to add a little Halloween mood. I have several more packages to use with our Halloween village.
