1

Get dead branches from a tree. You can make your Halloween tree whatever size you wish. I chose to make mine large so it would be a great decor item for my mantel. Spray paint your branches with black matte paint. Place the branches in your bucket then slowly add in your pebbles, dirt, or sand. Cover your branches with the spider web.

Fill the ornaments with items of your choice. I used Skull beadsSpider Rings, and spider web combined with the rings. Use your Black Stretchy Cording to hang ornaments from your DIY Halloween tree.
