Ever thought of turning a Pringles can into a creepy monster? If not, it’s time you do. With Halloween still months away, you have plenty of time to turn discarded can into a decorative item.

Wreaths are extremely popular during Halloween with witch wreaths being in huge demand. Instead of spending money on an expensive wreath for your front door, I recommend you make a witch wreath using discarded plastic bags. The supplies you require to make this wreath include plastic bags of multiple shapes, sizes, and colors. Do keep an MTB wire wreath handy as well. You’ll also need scissors to make an upcycled bag wreath.
