Get the tutorial for the black and white enameled vase over at Oh My! Creative, and download the free Harry Potter printable here. The glitter skull was a dollar store pick. It used to even light up until my son dropped it. 😉
The boo sign was made from a dollar store tray.
My bejeweled skull was inspired by a really awesome and beautiful pin that I could never find the original source for. I got a 5 dollar skull from Target and glued rhinestones, pearls, and gold buttons all over it.
Mr. Fancy Skull is sitting on top of a candlestick I had sitting around. And he does fall off occasionally, if I’m being honest. Oh well.
Then I added a bunch of black and white ruffled crepe paper streamers that I have been wanting to make forever.
