How to Create a Halloween Skeleton Table Setting

Let me show you how I created this Halloween skeleton photographer table setting.

First, I started by laying my skeleton on our dining room farmhouse table as the centerpiece and focal point.

Next, I foraged around the house and found a wig, costume jewelry, eyeglasses, and a hat to create her character.

I collected and staged up a few vintage cameras that I found at a flea market this past summer, which instantly transformed our Halloween skeleton on the table into a photographer!

Fallen rotten apples collected from underneath a neighbor’s apple tree added color and texture. And our neighbors appreciated it, too…

Decorating skeletons is so much fun; check out last year’s skeletons on our porch in the post, Halloween Spirit of 2021. I used the same wig, costume jewelry, and old mink. I just switched out the hat and clothing.

How to Make Creepy Halloween Drippy Candles

Drippy candles are a must in obtaining that creepy Halloween vibe.

Because I didn’t want my vintage brass candlesticks to get melted wax on them, I created this drippy look by lighting another candle of the same color and dripping the wax from one candle to another.

That way, the lighted centerpiece candles would not ruin my brass candlestick’s finish. I hope that makes sense.

I then displayed a small cutting board with cheese, fruits, and some small plates.

This would be a fun Halloween skeleton table setting for a cocktail party or a small gathering of friends and family, with the table filled with appetizers around the skeleton!
