Elegant Skull Cloches
Bring a touch of museum-style curiosity to your Halloween decor with elegant skull cloches. Displaying macabre elements under glass immediately elevates them, turning simple plastic props into sophisticated scientific specimens. For this project, you will need a glass cloche with a wooden base, a realistic plastic skull, and some natural elements to ground the display.
Paint the wooden base of the cloche in a rich black or dark walnut stain. Place the skull in the center, and surround it with preserved green moss, dried twigs, small faux mushrooms, or a single dark silk rose. You can also wind a delicate strand of copper wire fairy lights around the skull to illuminate the display from within. This striking piece makes a beautiful addition to a mantle, bookshelf, or dining table centerpiece.
