How to make a Halloween Leaf Wreath

How to make a Halloween Leaf Wreath 
We’ve been making some really cute things with Conkers this year – It all started with a white pen… we found these pens in a local stationery store, (you can find them in the links at the foot of this post) and they can write on glass and metal, and CONKERS!

We were just having a bit of fun with conkers, and making a pile of little skulls, and it’s just grown from there!
Instagram rather loved our bowl of these little skeleton chums, so we just kept making them, and decided to DO something with them, see video below – we made a Halloween Leaf Wreath! We are going to hang these on the front door, and actually have made a couple, so youngest has one on his bedroom door too! (to ward of his big brother apparently)… So – you will need:

1. Paper Plates
2. String
3. Scissors
4. Leaves
5. Conkers
6. Glue gun
7. Hole punch
8. Pen for writing on conkers

How to make a Halloween Leaf Wreath – really easy, lots of fun, and uses lots of natural materials, to encourage foraging and getting outdoors!
