Hi this is Ginny with Simply Beautiful Crafts on behalf of Expert Village and today we are
going to be making a variety of versatile Halloween centerpieces. Well we just finish
making a beautiful bountiful basket centerpiece, but how can we turn this to a Halloween centerpiece?
One suggestion might be to take a trio of candles, maybe three orange or three and three
blacks and instead of our little figurine put candles in the center. I like her and
I like to keep her so I'm going to leave her in the middle so how I'm going to make this
a Halloween basket. Well first thing I'm going to do is add some black leaves that just kind
of suggest Halloween just sprinkle them, her and there throughout the basket. It starts
to give it a slobber look and now that I added the black leaves I'm going to take some of
these little ghoulish figures and pop them right into the floral block. So she got a
few little ghostly and Frankenstein surrounding here now kind of peering over her shoulder
and creeping her out just a little bit. The nice thing about this is if you do it this
way once Halloween is over you can take these guys out and now you have a nice basket. Then
you can always take a little bit of your spider web and put some spider web on here. It is
very spider webby so you just need a little and just stretch it way out. There is all
different kinds of spider webbing that you can get at all the different stores but they
actually feel like spider webs and the thinner you make them the more spider webby cob webby
they become and may just kind of drape it from one side and kind of wide at the top.
Pulling it down a little bit, make it look like it is kind of foggy, your spider webby
and then take one of your little spider rings and stick the spider in there here and there.
And then for a final touch perhaps a nice beautiful bow but with a twist, we have a
beautiful bow with a creepy black spider right in the center of it and then you can cut your
ribbons to the length that you like them. Now we have gone to a beautiful basket to
kind of a spooky Halloween centerpiece.
