Scary Halloween Tablescape

I don’t always go for creepy or scary when styling a Halloween tablescape, but these creepy doll Halloween decorations that I found at Michaels this year got me thinking! If you can’t find these doll parts at Michaels you could pick us some baby dolls at your local dollar store and take them apart.

For this Halloween tablescape I wanted to create a feeling that one had walked into the woods and come across these dismembered doll parts tucked upon the moss with swamp flowers and mushrooms.

The candles add an eerie glow as the sun sets. The candle holders I used were simple votives to not detract from the eerie feel of the Halloween centerpiece. You could always opt to use a black tablecloth beneath a centerpiece like this.

I used some pieces of driftwood to stand in for rotting logs in the woods. By bending and tucking the stems of flowers and Succulents in dark colors contributed to the eerie look of the table. Spanish moss could be added to this table centerpiece in place of some of the other elements.

I used a faux moss table runner down the center of the table and arranged the wood the faux mushrooms and doll parts in three little clusters on the runner.
