Chilling Skull Flower Vase
Combine the beauty of fresh flowers with the macabre vibe of Halloween by creating a chilling skull flower vase. Buy a hollow plastic skull from the dollar store and carefully cut a circular opening at the very top of the head. To ensure the vase can hold water without leaking, insert a small glass jar or plastic cup inside the skull through the opening, securing it with hot glue if necessary.
Paint the exterior of the skull in a chic color, such as metallic rose gold, matte white, or textured stone. Once dry, fill the inner jar with water and arrange a bouquet of dark, dramatic flowers, such as black roses, deep red carnations, and dark purple calla lilies. The contrast of vibrant, beautiful blooms bursting out of a skull creates a striking visual that is perfect for a gothic centerpiece, mantel display, or party accent.
