I’m sharing a DIY Halloween Centerpiece idea that is both easy and spooky!
I am a fickle Halloween decorator. I find myself wanting to get a little Halloweenie, but not over the top. It kind of feels like I’m storing up my decorating energy for the holidays, and I just don’t want to over exert myself for Halloween. So, I guess this could by the DIY Halloween Centerpiece for the lazy Halloween decorator.
Yup, that’s the perfect description. Let’s go with it.
DIY Halloween Centerpiece For the Lazy Halloween Decorator!
To create my dramatic spooky centerpiece, I snipped some fresh hydrangeas from our back yard. They fill big wooden bowl nicely and go with my soft neutral/pinkish fall decor.
First, I added little skeleton heads to the centerpiece. I just kind of tucked them in between the elegant hydrangea blooms.
Then, I added little plastic spiders on top of the hydrangeas. I tried to make it look like the black spiders were crawling on the flowers.
Anytime I want to add a little pizzazz to a vignette or centerpiece, I add twinkling fairy lights. It’s especially fun to turn them on in the evening, which lights up the whole DIY Halloween Centerpiece and adds a fun ambiance to our eating area. 😉
I think the whole Halloween centerpiece thing looks so cute, and best of all, it was SO easy!
I added a few gold tinged votives, neutral velvet pumpkins, and soft pinkish pumpkins to either side of the centerpiece.
…and that’s pretty much it! Easy, peasy! 😉
Are you going all out for Halloween decorating? Or are you lazy-decorating like me? 😉
