Skulls and skeletons tablescape

This year I created my Halloween tablescape by lying down the black and white polka dot runner and some black placemats. I placed three pedestal plates down the center and began filling them with spooky stuff from my stash. A few extras on the side and it was done.

Each place setting is built with a silver charger, black Dollar Tree plate, and a white plate from my Oneida greek key set. A crow has landed in each plate. Skeletons removed from a Dollar Tree garland were tied around each napkin. Eyeballs are found in each Dollar Tree glass.

This little guy and the hands are my favorites.

Happy Halloween! I'll be linking up at Tablescape Thursday and these fun parties:

You may have noticed my ornament topiary in my last post about my window wreaths. That was another project that was on my list last year. I was inspired by these at BHG because they were in my color scheme. I set out to make one this year. I didn't follow the directions at BHG. Instead, I did a little more searching and then just did it my way. Most people suggest painting your stryofoam ball in a complimentary color first. I skipped this step because I was in a hurry, but I do recommend you do that. I used a 4 in styrofoam ball, 3 different size ornaments and a glitter pick. I also used a dowel rod which I covered in washi tape and a planter from the dollar tree. My planter was originally bronze, but with a few coats of spray paint it became silver. You also need some foam for the planter and something to cover it with. I used moss and blue glass pebbles. The pebbles give the bottom some weight. I think this makes a much better centerpiece for this ar
