Black Friday ~ Wreath Edition

I know, I know, the real retail Black Friday was last weekend, I just wanted to use "Black Friday".  I was so excited to try this experiment.  I've been wanting a black Christmas tree for Strapping Lad's bedroom, now known as the guest room, for years.  Black trees can be quite pricey, so I did the next best thing.

For some reason I have a surplus of wreaths, so I figured "why not?"  I purchased spray paint for plastic and sprayed away.  It was interesting.  At first I thought, "I'm doing this?", then "Okay, I can do this." to "Wow!  This is really cool!"

I also happened to have a spare wreath stand.  Do you have wreath stands?  I like them because you can add a wreath in an unexpected spot--dresser top, floor...

In person, my wreath looks black except for some spots on the back, for some reason, I was really talented and caught all of the green branches in the photo!  Crazy.  I used the purple bulbs that I showed you in a previous post and some pearly bulbs that got a coat of black glitter.  Note to self:  Paint the object to be glittered in the same color as the glitter.  I purchased a spool of ribbon and used the entire thing.  The bulbs were wired on in clusters of three with floral wire.  For some reason my fingers keep typing "blubs!"

This was an attempt to show you my hair that I just got done today---oops, maybe I'll send it as a Christmas card!   What's your take on black Christmas decor?
