Halloween Craft: Eyeball Wreath
Get your glue guns fired up because it’s time to make a fun Halloween Craft! This Eyeball Wreath is easy to make and yes – it glows in the dark!
Sometimes when I spot an idea in a magazine or on Pinterest that I love, I can’t seem to get it out of my head. This Eyeball Wreath was that way. Last year, I spotted the Eerie Eyeball Wreath in the Country Living Magazine. We had every intention of making the wreath until we started looking around for Glow in the Dark Rubber Eyeballs. They were really expensive and were going to cost around $75 to make.
So we put the idea on the back burner last year, and brought it up again this year. Once again, we searched around for the Rubber Eyeballs, without much luck. Until we happened to be in a local Sporting Goods store and spotted Glow in the Dark Ping Pong Balls for a only $8 per box.
Now, I know you probably may not be able to find the Glow in the Dark Ping Pong Balls, but honestly I think the Eyeball Wreath is pretty cool even when it doesn’t glow.
Let me show you how easy this Eyeball Wreath was to make…
Eyeball Wreath Supplies:
- Wreath – I used a styrofoam wreath that I found at Walmart
- Black spray paint – any kind should work depending on your wreath
- Ping Pong Balls – you can find Glow in the Dark Balls online, Ping Pong Balls.net, Sporting Goods stores or use regular white or clear balls
- Eyeball stickers – found in the scrapbooking area at Walmart
- Red and/or Black Sharpie Pen
- Plastic Snakes – found at Walmart in the Halloween section
- Spiders {not shown} also from Walmart
- Hot Glue Gun
Instructions:
- Spray the wreath with black spray paint, making sure it’s completely covered
- Add eyeball sticker to ping pong balls and using the red Sharpie, make the veins
- Carefully glue the eyeballs to the wreath, placing them randomly
- After you have added the eyeballs all the way around, fill in on the outside and inside of the wreath if needed
- Glue on spiders and snakes
And yes…it really does Glow in the Dark!

um, I have an issue on this and I just need some clarification. It has been my experience that spray pain will usually melt/destroy Styrofoam. Is there a certain kind of Styrofoam that works with spray paint?
Hi Amy, a floral styrofoam works best, it doesn’t flake off like regular styrofoam does. For the paint, we like the Krylon brand the best.
Happy Crafting!
