I always want to decorate for Fall and Halloween but I always struggle with a color palette because I always want everything to be neutral! I wanted a centerpiece for my coffee table that was spooky and festive.

So I picked up this white and black skull from Michaels and I decided I wanted to paint to black parts with a gold metallic paint! And then I still wanted to make it "pretty." So I decided to turn this little guy into a vase filled with cotton branches and pampas grass!

I traced a circle on the top of the skull with a pencil and then used a sturdy box cutter to cut through. If you are shopping for a skull for this project, make sure you get something that is hallow on the inside so you can cut through it.

Once the hole is cut, I created a little arrangement and added it to the vase!
