Pink and Orange Halloween Pancake Wreath
Spooky season is just around the corner, so it’s time to start crafting our Halloween pancake wreaths!
If you’re looking to add a splash of unexpected color to your Halloween décor, this pancake wreath with a pink and orange color scheme is just the project for you.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through every step, from prepping your materials to adding the final bow, ensuring you have a stunning wreath to hang on your door.

Materials You’ll Need:
- Pancake wreath frame
- 10″ Pink and orange mesh (20 inches long for each piece)
- Halloween-themed ribbon (14 inches long for each piece)
- Wire or zip tie mounts
- Scissors and wire cutters
- Hot glue gun (optional)
- Halloween-themed sign for the centerpiece
- Pipe cleaners
Step 1: Prepping Your Wreath Frame
Start by preparing your wreath frame. This particular tutorial uses a pancake frame specifically designed for low-profile wreaths, making it perfect for doors with storm screens. Attach your pipe cleaners to the frame, making sure they’re spaced evenly. This will give your wreath the structure it needs to support the layers of mesh and ribbon.
Step 2: Attaching the Sign
Next, it’s time to prep your sign. For this project, we’re using a metal Halloween-themed sign that will sit right in the center of the wreath. Attach zip tie mounts or use wire to secure the sign to the frame. Make sure the sign is snug but not too tight, as you want it to sit flat and not sink into the mesh.
Step 3: Adding the Mesh
Now, let’s start adding the mesh to the frame. Cut your pink and orange mesh into 20-inch pieces. Begin by folding each piece in half and scrunching it up the center to create a ruffle. Attach the ruffles to the pipe cleaners on the frame, working your way around the wreath. The key to this step is making sure the mesh is nice and tight, giving the wreath a full appearance while keeping it flat.
Step 4: Layering the Ribbons
With the mesh in place, it’s time to add the ribbon. Cut your Halloween-themed ribbon into 14-inch strips. For this design, we’re pairing a cute Halloween print with a sparkly pink ribbon to create a vibrant, festive look. Attach the ribbon to the frame, making sure to alternate colors and patterns to create a balanced design. Don’t forget to fluff the ribbons as you go, spreading them out to ensure they’re visible from every angle.
Step 5: Finishing Touches with the Bow
No wreath is complete without a beautiful bow! For this wreath, we’re keeping it simple with a small bow made from the same ribbons used throughout the design. Start by cutting your ribbon into shorter lengths, then fold and twist them to create loops. Secure the bow with a pipe cleaner, and attach it to the wreath in the spot that best complements your design. Once attached, fluff the bow to give it volume and shape.
Step 6: Final Adjustments
Before hanging your wreath, make sure everything is in place. Adjust the ribbons and mesh as needed, ensuring they’re spread out evenly and cover the frame. The key to a professional-looking wreath is making sure it looks full and balanced from all angles.
Displaying Your Masterpiece
Now that your wreath is complete, it’s time to show it off! Hang it on your door and enjoy the compliments from neighbors and trick-or-treaters alike. The unexpected pink and orange color scheme is sure to make your Halloween décor stand out.
Creating a Halloween pancake wreath with a pink and orange twist is a fun and creative way to celebrate the season. Whether you’re a seasoned wreath maker or a beginner, this project is easy to follow and delivers stunning results. Happy crafting!
