Festive Frightful Fun! Free easy to follow instructions for making your own Halloween Spooky Tree. This inexpensive fun fall centerpiece is perfect for your mantel, counter, or on your table!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Tree Branch
  • Terra Cotta Pot
  • Terra Cotta Paint and/or Markers
  • Florist Foam
  • Black Spray Paint
  • Seed Beads
  • 24 gauge wire
  • Halloween Ornaments
  • Popcorn Kernels
  1. Step 1

    Begin by searching in either your yard or park for a small straight branch with lots of little branches sprouting out. While outside in an open area away from any buildings or cars spray paint the branch with a glossy black paint. Let dry.

  2. Step 2

    Once the branch is dried wrap 24 gauge wire around the main trunk and larger branches. Insert the seed beads on the wire as you wrap it around the branches.

  3. Step 3

    Paint the Terra Cotta Pot with ghosts and pumpkins using Terra Cotta Paint or Markers. I personally prefer the markers for some of the finer detail. The Terra Cotta Markers are very easy to work and I highly recommend them.

  4. Step 4

    Insert florist foam into the Terra Cotta Pot once it is completely dried. Insert branch into the center of the foam. Then cover the foam with popcorn kernels. Place Halloween Ornaments onto the branches and display on your mantel, counter, or as a center piece on your table.
