Super Spooky Halloween Tree

I was finishing up my shopping at my local Michael's store when I spotted these trees kind of hiding on an end of the isle shelf.

I had to go take a closer look at these creations that caught my eye.

How cool! They're made completely with a heavy gauge wire from the creepy roots to the many branches and limbs that stretched upward to about 18" and spanned outward almost as much.

The wire is covered by some kind of material like thick, heavy, chalky spray paint. Flat black. I think it was called a "Haunted Halloween Tree."

Because the limbs were wire, they could be shaped and bent any way you wanted them to be! I immediately knew it would be perfect for my very first display of any kind. I got into designing jewelry about 8 months ago.

I've always decorated my home for the holidays, and this year, I focused everything around my Fall and Halloween jewelry collections.

I have always had a ton of jewelry for seasons and Holidays. That was until I took it all apart and used it in my own designs this year!

Because my tastes and styles are so varied, I decided to display a little of everything mixed together.

I made very inexpensive earrings for my Halloween Fun Wear Collection. They really are just for fun! My Swarovski crystal pumpkin earrings were hung right along with everything else. It made a very interesting, unique display that sparked a lot of conversation!

I ended up even adding some rings to the upper-most limbs because they were so easy to shape and hold the ring just right!

The only drawback was the powdery substance that shedded every time I made an adjustment. But it wasn't enough to keep me from wanting 10 more next year!

I hope you like it :)

Thanks for your time and interest,
