Easy Halloween Tree With Skull Ornaments

This easy tree stays up in my entry through the holidays and we love to change the decorations on it! For Halloween we put glitter skulls on it. I'll show you how I made them into ornaments.

This is just a branch from outside, spray painted white. I have also made a black Halloween tree, which also looks great, depending on your decor.

We are lucky to have a 'forest' in our back yard! The hardest part of this project is spray painting the branches white!

For this project I used glitter skulls (that I got from Michael's on clearance last year), bakers twine and T pins.

To make these ornaments you need tom make these heads hang! You need something to attach string to. By stabbing the skull with a T pin, you create that thing! Stabbing seems appropriate this time of year right?

Next you cut your string, to a length that will allow it to hang at the height you want.

Tie your string around the T pin, then push the T pin all the way in.

Last, tie the two ends together in a square knot. There it is! Easy right? I have done this same thing on larger foam skulls with U pins, to hang them on my banister.

Now just hang those skulls on your tree. Halloween tree! Super cute right?

PIN IT!!!
