DIY Halloween Floral Skeleton tutorial
I am so in love this decadent and decay theme for adding a touch of Halloween class to the front porch! It’s a skeleton with beauty and style and solar fairy lights!
What I gathered:
Supplies:
- artificial fall florals
- 36″ skeleton
- clip on butterflies
- hot glue
- solar fairy lights
Tools: hot glue gun, wire cutters
What I did:
Using wire cutters, I separated some of the florals and removed stems if needed. Then simply secured fall floral pieces and arrangements and accents onto my skeleton using hot glue. A flower crown, some florals over the rib cage and a few tucked within, a wrist and ankle corsage. I added a few butterflies too.
Once that was complete and all of my florals were securely in place, I started at the bottom of one leg and worked my way up the skeleton (there is a LOT of wire so be generous with wrapping and even going back over an area) then back down to the other leg with the string of solar fairy lights.
I used a shepherd’s hook to display in a planter where I could also easily tuck in the solar panel.
Decadence and decay!
Do you decorate for Halloween? Spooky? Creepy? Fun and cute?
