Goth Bling Halloween Decorations

This is the night I am having my Gals Goth Halloween Party. I have spent way too much time on the decorations...I thought I would share a few details before the party. There will be plenty of photos after this fun evening.

The one thing I was going for at this party was a lot of sparkle and bling. I had a couple bags of dollar store spiders that needed to be glitzed up! A little glitter paint did the trick.


Here is a cool thing I did and totally recycled trash. I bought a few bags of small skulls at Dollar Tree. I took the black mesh bags that they came in, cut the tops and bottoms off and slid them over these cylinder vase/candle holders. They looked spider webish and enabled me to slide my sparkly spiders inbetween and held the spiders in place. I was able to hang a few on the outside as well.

A creepy wrought iron owl was perfect for this party.

Here are a more of my sparkly spiders and the product that gave them their bling! It is a paint called Extreme Glitter. I found this at Joann's and it came in several colors - I used the silver. It went on opaque, but dried clear with lots of glitter. I liked the fact that the paint let the color of the object show through. I used it on the spiders, small skulls and skeleton hands - all from the dollar store.


See the invitations I made in this previous post.

  1. Very nice, don't sparkles make every party more fun? I might even watch football if it was prettier. I far prefer mens swimming, you understand, the men just sparkle coming out of the water. I really love the re-use of the black netting for the candles. I am sure this was fun for everyone, I also spend too much time on the decorations but I think everyone enjoys it.
