HALLOWEEN CENTERPIECE IDEAS
1. CANDLE SKULL
This Halloween centerpiece idea is insanely easy to recreate. Grab a medium-sized skull and a black tapered candle with some texture.
Light the candle and drop a few drops of the candle wax on top of the skull so it can stick. And, that’s it. Super easy right?!
2. HALLOWEEN TIERED TRAY
Tiered trays have a special place in my heart. They look absolutely gorgeous and are perfect for switching out seasonal decor.
Grab a few faux spiders, straws, Rae Dunn mugs, and a few other spooky decorations to recreate this tiered tray.
You can obviously add more if that’s what you prefer or if you’re a minimalist, take a few things out.
3. JACK SKELLINGTON HALLOWEEN MASON JAR
If you’re looking for easy Halloween centerpiece ideas, this is one of the best. You can recreate these mason jars with a few simple materials.
Glitter, vinyl, and flameless tea lights are all you need for this idea. Here is the step-by-step tutorial.
4. FLOATING GHOSTS
How adorable are these little floating ghosts? This is another super fun and easy DIY you can easily recreate.
You can even get the little ones involved and spend a little quality time together. Take a look at the tutorial here.
5. HALLOWEEN TRAY DECOR
Like the tiered tray, you can easily switch out the decorations from a tray.
To recreate this, you’ll need a woven tray (find plenty on Amazon), a mini half skeleton, a beaded garland, and a potions book.
6. SKULLS AND CROW IN A NEST
Skulls and crows go hand in hand for Halloween. They’re both spooky and can be incorporated into basically any decor idea.
For this one in particular, you’ll need a bird’s nest (which can be bought off of Etsy), mini skulls, a crow, and a black candle pedestal.
7. SKULL FLORAL ARRANGEMENT
If you love floral arrangements and are looking for something that is super easy and not time-consuming, this idea is perfect for you.
Buy a skull vase or DIY one yourself and fill it with your favorite flowers. Preferably include some orange in there for a pop of color and for Halloween.
8. SPOOKY GHOSTS ETCHED VOTIVES
How cute would these look on the mantel? You can say goodbye to all the other Halloween decorations because this is the only one you need.
They are fairly easy to DIY and don’t take a lot of time. Here is the full tutorial.
9. HALLOWEEN CANDY CENTERPIECE
Not only is this centerpiece idea insanely cute, but it’s also delicious. Glue or tape your favorite sweet treats like Snickers, cookies, and milk duds onto sticks.

10. POOL NOODLE ARRANGEMENT
Got some extra pool noodles lying around the house? Use those to make this amazing Halloween centerpiece.

Make this centerpiece even more extravagant and place a skeleton behind the tray with black fabric draped over it.

This candle idea is literally so easy to make and takes no time at all. Check out the tutorial here.
14. BOO CANDY JARS
Another one of my absolute favorite Halloween centerpiece ideas! Just buy some sweets like candy corn and place the contents inside a clear jar.
Make cutouts of the word “boo” then stick it on the jars and place them on candle pedestals. If you want to go a step further, you can tie the top with pretty ribbons.
15. SKELTON AND POOL NOODLES
Here is another gorgeous Halloween centerpiece that uses pool noodles as the focal point.
Like I stated earlier, you’ll need to cut the pool noodles in different sizes and also cut the tops so you can place flameless candles there.
Place a skeleton behind the tray with white fabric draped over it to make it appear as a ghost. You can also place some other decorations on the tray as well.
