Chrysanthemums For Halloween
An Autumn Blooming, Seasonal Flower
Chrysanthemums in bloom are a sure sign that summer is over. Chrysanthemums are probably the saddest flower for me (because I love summer and hate to see it go). They make fantastic autumn blooms though. The colors and the season are just right for Halloween.
Halloween Flowers From 1800flowers
1-800-flowers doesn't feature so many spooky-themed flower arrangements for Halloween, rather, they showcase flowers in Halloween colors like white and orange (and maybe green too).

Black Halloween Flower Project
Made from trash bags
The Instructables website offers up some great ideas for Halloween decoration crafts with a floral theme.Materials Needed:
- 1 black trash bag (1 bag makes two pompons)
- A4 or 8 1/2 x 11 letter-sized paper(one sheet per stem)
- Elmer's glue
- Double-sided tape
- Glue gun and glue
You'll roll up the letter-sized paper and, using double-sided tape and glue, fashion it into a stem for your pompon flower. Making the actual dustbin bag flower is exactly the same as making a pom-pon with yarn, except your using garbage bags! Check out the full instructions on how to make these creep black flowers here.

Tissue Flowers
Similar looking to chrysanthemum blooms
I found these Martha Stewart tissue paper pompoms referenced for wedding decor. Changing the tissue paper to Halloween colors, I think they make great Halloween decorations!
Instructions for Making Tissue Flowers
- click here for the original instructions from Martha Stewart on making these tissue paper pompons.
Step One: Stack eight 20"x30" tissue sheets and fold them accordion-style in 1 1/2 inch folds.
Step Two: Fold an 18" piece of floral wire over the middle of the folded paper, twisting it together to secure it. Trim the edges of the folds into points or circles.
Step Three: Pull the layers away from the center, one at a time, to separate them.
Step Four: Attach monofilament to the floral wire so you can hang your pompon.

Autumn-blooming Flowers For Halloween
Chinese Lanterns, Sunflowers..
Check the photo of the sunflower: I especially chose that one because of the little white spider hiding inside it! I'm not suggesting you have flowers in your home with REAL spiders in them, but you might stick a few fake ones in there for effect.

Ghostly Flowers
Withered flowers on an iron gate. Floral "ghost riders in the sky". Marigolds for the dead in a Dias De Los Muertes celebration. Corpse flowers. Indian Pipe flowers. Pale flowers with creepy blue lighting. Sparse branches with lone white flower buds. They're all rather ghostly.
You can't use all these ideas
I doubt you'll be able to find "corpse flowers" (nor would you want to, they're meant to smell like rotting flesh) or "Indian Pipe flowers" (actually a fungus), and those dead flower buds that look like skeletons are surely an oddity of nature. Use these photos for inspiration though when putting together a ghostly arrangement.
Halloween Wreaths, Swags And Garlands
Halloween wreaths, swags and garland often involve twigs, bare branches and autumn leaves. Chinese lanterns also make stunning additions to these decorations.
Black Silk Flower Wreath
Another Martha Stewart Halloween Flower Decoration
As hard as I try to vary my sources on this page, Martha Stewart comes up yet again with a black silk flower wreath for Halloween
I would go a step further than martha though and glue some little plastic spiders or skeletons on this.
The Martha Stewart instructions for making this black silk flower wreath are simple.
- Step One: Remove stems from silk roses and glue them with a hot glue gun to a wreath form.
- Step Two: In a well-ventilated area (on a protected surface), spray the flowers and wreath form with black floral spray. Leave it to dry for 20 minutes.
- Step Three: Cut approximately 54 inches of ribbon and tie it decoratively into a bow. Attach this bow to the wreath form with a hot glue gun.
- Step Four: Use another length of ribbon, tacking one end to the back of the wreath form and using another tack to attach the top of the ribbon to your door frame.

- My first sprinkling of angel dust on this lens has long worn off so I am back once again to scatter a little more. It is my quest this week to re-bless some of the lenses which I blessed way back in 2010. Your lens is on this list.
