This was fun and silly. I enjoyed making it. I did not use your measurements which was easy enough. Your instructions were simple enough and clear. I only wish your photos were taken so we could see the process right-side-up.What appears to be glue or something on my monster's left eye (right side looking at card) is actually glare.Thanks for the fun.

I love the wreath. But there were problems along the way. I followed directions precisely. I was making this as a gift and wanted to be sure it went well.I used a ton of hot glue to secure the snakes…they fell off. Again and again. I let the light coat of spray paint (same brand used in Instructable). It never dried. I even used the same snakes and wreath.I ended up making a second wreath and used wreath wire to secure snakes.

After securing all snakes trimmed the wire and tucked it in a bit. Almost invisible. Good!The painting was another problem. I ...

I used a light coat of black and a day later a light coat of purple as a highlight. The painted snakes are still tacky two weeks later and leave paint on ones fingers when handling the wreath. I guess we'll have to live with that.
