*All items

*All items

Easy
Step-by-Step Directions:
1. First,
gather a few spooky-looking twigs from your yard.
2. Place the
floral/craft foam in the center of the cauldron and
fill the
empty space around the foam with glass gems, rocks,
or stones.
This will anchor your foam and provide stability
for your
tree.
3. Stick the
twigs from your yard securely into the foam... make
sure you push
them far into the foam for stability. Arrange
twigs into
your desired tree shape. If you want to paint your
twigs black
or another color, do that next. They will be easier
to paint
standing upright in the foam. Set the tree aside to dry.
4. Once the
twigs are dry, cover the stones at the base of the
tree with
Halloween tinsel garland, then place the skeleton
garland on
top of the tinsel and position the skeletons
however you
wish.
5. Decorate
the tree with more skeletons, Halloween creepy
creatures, or
handmade glittery bat ornaments (see directions
on page 2).
I did mine a
little differently but both ways are acceptable. I had bits of gravel from
around by house that I was able to anchor mine down with but there are many
options available at your local Dollar Tree to find what you would like best.
Also I did not line the bottom of my tree centerpiece with tinsel garland and
the skeleton garland, I was going for a spookier look to I surrounded mine with
Spanish Moss (available at the Dollar Tree)
