Silver Skulls

As you know, all of our spooky goods came from the dollar store this week.

For our next trick, empty 4 bags of Dollar Tree skulls into a box and lightly spray with a little 

Krylon metallic silver.

 

Show some restraint; we aren't going for complete coverage. We want some creepy white and black to bleed through here.

Then we're going to use my adhesive addiction, Goop, to stack $1 vases on candlestick. Everybody's done this one by now, right?

These were extra tall vases, so I thought they were pretty cool.

Now, we need some moss, plastic spiders, and some of those fabulous silver skulls.

And we'll just do a little layering.

I originally was playing with silver glitter craniums as the final flourish.

A little frill of wire edged ribbon with shimmery arachnids...

...and let's start building our display in the entryway. I decided I preferred my glitter skulls in a heap on a dessert stand that I spray painted aqua. This usually sits on my dresser to organize accessories and perfumes. Shop the house, guys. 

More silver skulls and moss lined my antique bread bowl, and then I added a hurricane and a chunky pillar. The hurricanes we just made were topped with rechargeable battery operated candles, and that cute little bust of Satan was also a Dollar Tree find.

The Creepy Cake Plate was yesterday's project.

The beaded charger is a clearance score from Z Gallerie, and it usually resides in Savannah's room.

I had to have this tinsel spider with googly eyes and the feather boa, also from the dollar store.

Happy Haunting, Lovelies.
