Spooky Halloween Tree with Ornaments

• Gnarled twigs (such as curly willow)
• Black spray paint (optional -- could use twigs as-is)
• Tall pot, tin container, or other tall narrow vase
• Styrofoam or floral foam
• Spanish moss
• Satin or matte ball Christmas ornaments (in orange, black, or white)
• Halloween stickers
• 3 yards of narrow (1/4-inch) black and white ribbon (3 yards will make about 10 hanging loops)
• Scissors

1. If desired, spray-paint gnarled twigs black and let dry.
2. Push sticks into a block of Styrofoam or floral foam in a container. Or secure the sticks in plaster of Paris and let set up.
3. Arrange handfuls of gray Spanish moss to cover foam and hot-glue here and there to hold it in place.
4. Carefully peel stickers from the backing paper. Position them gently on the ornament, pressing in place until the shapes adhere.
5. Add a ribbon hanger to the ornament top. Knot ends and trim as desired.
6. Hang ornaments on your homemade twig tree.
