Here's a project I worked on last year for a prop building contest. These are easy skull ornaments made from cheap plastic bulbs and craft foam...gasp...no papier mache involved.

Anyway they add a touch of spookiness to your holiday tree or work well for a Halloween tree. The artwork I used to create them is also available to download if you don't feel like designing your own.

Those are awesome!!! I already asked my wife if I could make some and she said no! Apparently it's Halloween all year long here except for Christmas time. But that method has tons of possibilities. Fence finials, lab equipment, staff or cane topper, and lots of other decorations. You truly have a creative talent. And your style is unique as well. Excellent, excellent, excellent!

Stolloween you should sell those on the forum. You'd pay for your Christmas presents.

Schweeeeeeet!
A bunch of those... some silver Phantasm spheres... some barbed wire garland with cobweb tinsel... And of course Santa Jack from Nightmare... now that's holiday spirit!
Mr. Stoll... you never fail to just totally impress the socks off of me with every project.
Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go find my socks...

i have to thank you so much for this. i was just recently visiting your site and saw these. i made some, they have turned out fantastic, and i am using them as small presents for my friends! as soon as i can i'll send you some pics. as a happy accident the shiny sealent i used melted the paint a tiny bit, giving a bloody red streaking effect (the plastic bulbs were red) that i couldn't have done if i tried. i really appreciate your how-to and the use of your templates. they really saved this broke little haunter.
SCARY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Those are great. Maybe I have another use for my strand of mini skull lights after all.

I got a great deal from one of the all year Christmas stores here in TN. and made friends with one of the store decorates and got a Black Christmas Tree lighted for Christmas this year, all these cool decorations will look great this year for my Halloween tree. They have them for sale for about $20-30 for a 6' tall and up.
