First up: Medusa. Turn a styrofoam wig stand to stone. OK, well maybe not stone, but a charming Halloween planter. Hollow out the back of the head, apply a generous coat of neon green paint, then fill it with greenery (faux or real) and plenty of toy snakes.

Add a touch of dramatic elegance to your fall decor with this easy-to-make skull planter with dusty pink roses, turquoise pumpkins and billowy black florals.

Toy dolls with demonic eyes that come to life are the stuff Halloween nightmares are made of. But not these cheeky doll heads — we promise only the plants will come to life, not the dolls. To make your doll head planters, scour thrift shops for old dolls, dismember the head from the body, cut off the top of the head and glue a bit of craft moss around the edge of the cut marks. Slide a plant into the head and arrange your cranium garden with more moss or any other creepy elements.

This carnivorous craft is a fun way to add a little unexpected spookiness to your everyday houseplants. These little guys seem super cute but don’t be fooled. They’ve only got one thing in mind … dinner.
