- 1). Put a skull in a snowflake. Get a square of white paper, and fold it diagonally several times. Once you have a small packet, randomly cut pieces out but leave the center area intact. Unfold and draw a skull in the center. If you’d rather work with existing plastic or crocheted snowflakes, simply get some sticker paper, draw your skull, and plop it in the middle of the snowflake. Glue or pins will help the sticker stay in place.
- 2). Get all-over skeletal. Plop a Santa hat on a plastic skull or those steer and deer skulls you may have somewhere in your home or garage. If you need a skull, ask your hunter friends, buy one at a novelty shop or create your own out of clay. You can also draw reindeer, elves, Santa and Mrs. Claus or other traditional Christmas figures, but create their figures out of bones.
- 3). Fill holly vines with critters. Purchase several yards of holly or other Christmas vines from a craft store. Use paper clips, pins or wire to attach random creepy critters throughout the greenery. Use rubber bugs, snakes, bats and random bones you saved from a recent chicken dinner. Buy the bugs and such at toy stores or novelty shops.
- 4). Arm elves with weaponry. Use existing elf, angel, Santa and other figurines, but spruce them up with creepy props. Wire small meat cleavers to the elf hands. Throw an executioner’s hood on Santa. Give a Christmas angel a set of vampire fangs. Small props can be found at toy stores, novelty or costume shops.
- 5). Merge your holidays. Let your creepy imagination go wild by leaving your Halloween decorations accessible and investing in several sizes of Santa hats. Put one on the black cat, the life size witch, the rubber rat. Place strategically around the house.
