Remove the label from the embroidery hoop. Loosen the screw at the top of the hoop and separate the inside hoop from the outside hoop. Tighten the screw back up. Use the inside part of the hoop for another project.
Cut the black felt into 50 (approximately) 9"/22cm long strips, some thin and some thick.
Start tying the strips of felt around the embroidery hoop in double knots. Use the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock marks as a starting point. Continue working around the entire hoop, pushing the strips together to get as many tied on as possible. The more scrap strips tied onto the hoop the fluffier the wreath will be. You can use scissors to neaten up any overhanging pieces of felt if you wish.

Wrap a black pipe cleaner around a pencil then slide off to reveal a coil. Repeat with the remaining pipe cleaners to create the spider’s legs. Cut a ½"/0.5cm wide (approximately) strip of black felt, trim the strip into 16 squares, and then into 16 circles. Glue two circles to one end of each coil, sandwiching the chenille stem in the center. Repeat with remaining felt circle pairs and spider legs.
Flip the hoop to the back and attach four legs on each side of the hoop with a glue gun and glue sticks.
Flip the hoop to the back. Take one black scrap strip and fold over the screw, so that the tails are hanging down into the center of the hoop. Attach two large googly eyes, one on each tail with a glue gun and glue sticks. Trim excess black felt from under the eyes.
Tie the gingham ribbon into a bow and attach it to the ghost with a glue gun and glue stick.
Create a hanging loop with ribbon or twine if desired, then hang (or place) where desired. Happy Halloween!
