You can find a ton of different options online or in store. Once you have your base and figurines, you can add in any other spooky elements you’d like.

We added a few fake spiderwebs and some plastic spiders to make it extra creepy.

You can also add in some battery-powered LED lights to light it up from the bottom!

Black and white is a classic color palette for Halloween, and this DIY vase is a perfect example of how chic it can look.

All you need to make this is a glass vase, a skull mold (you can find these at a craft store), and some black spray paint.

After you’ve made your skull, just glue it to the vase and you’re done! You can use it as a vase like they did here, or as a candle holder.

You can also use a smaller vase and a smaller mold to make a whole cluster of them.

I love how simple and striking this project is. It’s a great way to add a little bit of Halloween decor to your home without going overboard.

This is a great project if you’re looking for a more sophisticated way to incorporate skulls into your Halloween decor.

5. Skull String Art

This project is a little more involved and requires a bit of patience, but the results are so worth it!

I used a wooden plaque for my string art, but you could also use a canvas or any other wooden surface.

I used a skull shape I found online and printed it to the size I wanted.

I then used a push pin to trace the shape onto the wood. You could also use a pencil to trace the shape if you prefer.

After that, I hammered in my nails around the outline of the skull. I placed the nails about 1/4″ apart.

I then used a simple back and forth method to create the string art. I didn’t really have a plan for this part, I just went where I thought it needed more string.

I also used the string to fill in the eyes and nose of the skull.

Once I was happy with how it looked, I tied off the string in a knot and then used a little bit of glue to make sure it wouldn’t come undone.

I also used a little bit of glue to make sure the nails wouldn’t come undone.
