We make a ton of easy and affordable DIY Holiday projects in my private crafting group, The CRafterparty, but this one is near and dear to my heart since it was the very FIRST one we ever made in there when the group opened!

How gorgeous does this Dollar Tree Halloween Skull Centerpiece look with that handmade Beware Sign to go along with it?

Instead of buying a Halloween centerpiece on your next Home Goods or Hobby Lobby run, why not try making one for a fraction of the price!? I can show you how!

I used one of these Dollar Tree Plastic Skulls that I’m sure you have seen….

Dollar Tree plastic skull before it was painted black.

And decided to paint the entire thing black. You could leave yours as is, or paint it another color like white too.

We decorated it and made it gorgeous and glam with 2 purple glitter spiders, one on her face…..

And one in her “Hair Bouquet”….

Black and purple glitter spider in the bouquet of grey, black, and purple flowers.

Of course we made her eyes POP with lots of silver and purple glitter…

The black skulls eye sockets filled with purple and silver glitter.

The huge “Hair Bouquet” made her a little top heavy, so a Jenga block under her head on the back side did the trick so that she doesn’t topple over.

A jenga block glued to the base of the skull to keep it standing upright.

Here is the beautiful floral arrangement from the back…..

And the floral arrangement from the front…

This project can be made in sooooo many different ways depending on your style, and what colors you use to decorate for Halloween. I myself prefer a more Black and White theme with just pops or orange and purple, so I decided to keep this one strictly black and purple and not add in all the other traditional Halloween colors.

As always…be inspired to make it your own and if you need a little help, come join us in The CRafterparty!
