A Creepy Doll Halloween Tablescape - Celebrate & Decorate

Halloween decorating doesn’t always have to be creepy, but every once in a while, it is fun to embrace the darker side of the season! When I spotted these eerie doll heads and dismembered doll parts at Michaels, I knew they would make an unforgettable centerpiece for a scary Halloween tablescape. Combined with moss, driftwood, mushrooms, dark florals, and flickering candlelight, they create the unsettling feeling of discovering something strange hidden deep in the woods. If you cannot find similar doll parts, inexpensive baby dolls from a dollar store could easily be taken apart and transformed into your own delightfully disturbing Halloween decorations.

The natural elements of the moss, wood and grapevine in the middle of the table make this a fabulous table setting. The best part of the way I assembled this centerpiece is that it all comes apart easily and can be

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.
