Note: For product information, see end of article.

STEP 1: Glue boa. Spread a generous layer of white glue over front surface of craft foam wreath. Pin one end of black feather boa to outside edge of wreath. Wind boa around and around to cover entire wreath, inserting pins to hold in place. When wreath is entirely covered, cut off excess boa. Lay a bath towel over the wreath to gently press the feathers against glue while it dries.

STEP 2: Make eyeballs. Use a serrated kitchen knife to cut all craft foam balls in half. Cut wire into twenty 2" pieces, one for each eyeball. Hot glue a wire into flat side of each ball. Hot glue one wiggle eye onto center of curved side of each ball.

STEP 3: Attach eyeballs. Push wires of eyeballs into wreath, arranging them in pairs and spacing them evenly around the wreath. Push some eyeballs down deep into the feather and other not so deep.

STEP 4: Finish. For a hanger, form a loop with wire, twisting ends together. Glue hanger to back of wreath.
