Spooky Things Part II

Still not quite done, actually a long way from done. But here are a few more sneak peek pictures of all the spooky things going on at my apartment. (see the other set of decorations HERE)


Test Tubes in a black wood holder- not 100% sure whats going in them yet. I found the wooden holder at Goodwill, and with a coat of black spraypaint it's perfect for Halloween.


Creepy flaming skull candle- this is a super easy DIY. I got the idea HERE
The little pewter dish in the back is full of spiders and I also found it at Goodwill.


Creepy black flower arrangement. Let the record show that I usually do NOT allow fake flowers in the house- this is the ONE exception.

I got one of those heinous fake flower arrangement things, you know the kind that have lots of flowers on them and are attached by a green plastic handle. I used wire cutters to separate the flowers and stuck them in a block of Styrofoam (I found it in our building trash room, if you don't have that an empty cereal box should work to keep them upright ). Once they were all stuck in the Styrofoam I took them outside and gave them a few coats of black spray paint.

Once they were all dry- I had three scary black flower arrangements to put around the house.


My unfinished mantle so far

The candle holder was from Goodwill (yes I love it there) and after a good coat of black spray paint it's creeptastic. The candles are a classic Martha DIY idea, and the cheese cloth got a black dye job by moi (warning: the black dye gets everywhere if you do this in your kitchen)

What creepy things are you planning for Halloween this year? Do share, I could always use more ideas!

PS- If anyone needs more details of how I did any of these things- email me, I'd be happy to share since I didn't put step-by-step directions here :)
