This project was adapted from one I saw on Martha Stewart. She puts her elegant glittered skulls under glass. I have given it my own creepy twist, making creepy centerpieces with gross skulls and crawly creatures. With a little hot glue, and some ghoulish imagination, the results can be stunning.
Materials:
Glass cake plate or large vase1 bag Spanish moss
1 block green florist foam (optional)
1 fake skull
Assorted small bones
Assorted plastic bugs
Dry or fake leaves
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Process:- Glue the foam block on the cake plate.
- Cover the foam with the moss, using hot glue.
- If using a vase, fill the vase with the moss (no glue, no foam needed)
- Arrange the skull, bones and leaves randomly around the moss. Attach with glue if needed.
- Use hot glue to attach additional spiders and bugs to the outside of the glass vase or cake dome. Hot glue can be removed from glass easily.
- I usually make several of these to place around the house for Halloween parties.
- You can remove the arrangement from the glass and store in a large ziploc if you want to use them from year to year.
Halloween is nearly here, and soon the decorations will come down. What will I do next? Look for me to post my first attempt at hand rolled chocolate truffles and kale chips. I wonder how those will turn out (separately, not together!)
Enjoy your Halloween!
