    I love the way it sets the vibe for Halloween with its dark and eerie look. Plus, it’s a great way to repurpose vases and containers you may already have in your home and give them new life.

    If you don’t have a vase at home, check the thrift stores. I found this one and it was perfect for all occasions. I just swap out the branches for some greenery for Christmas and etc.

    Lay newspaper or cardboard down and spray paint the black black and let dry.

    When the branches are dry, place the green floral foam piece in the bottom of the vase or container. Place the branches in the floral foam and arrange them to your liking.
