The Skull of Midas Tablescape

Skull of Midas

Whether you want to admit it or not, if you are a "Tabelscaper" you are already thinking of Halloween.  

 This tablescape was an easy and quick one to do.  Hopefully giving you some simple ideas for a fun Halloween table.  Just a plate stack and a simple centerpiece of a Dollar Tree skull that I covered in glitter.  Set upon an urn that I already had, placing a black plate on top of the urn to hold the skull.  Just think of any pedestal you have, if not black or the color you want just use some inexpensive spray paint and paint away!  I just used a neck scarf for a runner.  Any scarf or piece of fabric would do.     

This is a Tablescape I did last year.  I never shared it on any other websites.  So I am re-posting.  Please feel free to leave a comment below.

The black and metallic gold skull plate from Z Gallerie was my inspiration for the tablescape.  I purchased the plates in 2013 but they are still available.  They have them with a silver skull as well.  I think they are beautiful.

I always try to have a take home gift or special party favor at my parties. I found some cute small gold glittered Party Cracker Poppers and included them at each place setting.  "Christmas Crackers" are my most favorite party favor.  Everyone loves the "pop" and to wear the silly crepe paper hat, read the joke or riddle and keep the little prize in each one.

View of the complete Tablescape on a forty-eight inch table.  Just perfect for 4 people. 

Close-up of the Urn that I used for supporting the centerpiece.  Purchased at Hobby Lobby some time ago.  It has a jeweled lid, which I removed to put the golden skull on top.

My favorite all-around black bubble glass.  From the Martha Stewart line at Macy's.

I used a black scarf with golden skulls as my scrunched up runner.  The urn from Hobby Lobby with a Martha Stewart black plate on top to hold the skull.

Love, love, love this beautiful skull.  He came from the dollar store.  I bought several.  Amazing what you can do with a dollar store item.  Just a plain tan plastic skull.  I brushed on Martha Stewart Glitter Glue with included brush.  I used Golden German Glass Glitter and sprinkled it on.  I really love the results.  German glass glitter is so lovely.  They have this glitter available in either the stained glass type glitter which is made from clear glass or they make it from silvered glass which is stunning, because no matter what color you get it in the color ages and acquires such a gorgeous patina over time.  This glitter is more substantial and has such a depth and sparkle.  Should not be used by children.

This is my flatware purchased several years ago at a department store called Z.C.M.I.  Now closed after many years in operation.  Google to read about this department store.

I will be sharing this for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.

I love comments.
