Demented Doll Head Planters
For those who love a bit of weird, avant-garde horror, transforming cheap plastic doll heads into planters is the ultimate Halloween craft. Purchase a few plastic baby dolls from the dollar store. Carefully cut off the tops of their heads using a utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. Paint the doll heads with a matte gray or stone-textured spray paint to make them look like weathered concrete garden statues. To add depth, brush dark brown or green acrylic paint into the eyes, nose, and mouth to simulate dirt and moss growth.
Once dry, fill the hollow heads with small faux succulent plants, dark purple air plants, or cascading green vines. The plants will look like they are growing out of the doll heads, creating a bizarre and delightfully creepy contrast between the innocent doll faces and the wild foliage. Place these unique planters on your windowsill, patio, or bookshelf to add an unexpected, surreal element to your Halloween decor that is guaranteed to be a conversation starter.
