Have no time to make a centerpiece? Try this.

Keeping with the theme, find flowers in Halloween colors of orange and black (you can spray paint), arrange them in a small carved pumpkin, and voila! Your centerpiece is ready in a jiffy!

There are many items that can be used to make amazing centerpieces for Halloween like the jack o' lantern, wicked witches, black cats, weird aliens, zombies, skeletons, and vampires. But if you can't come up with something on your own, we've got a few suggestions for you. Take a look at these Halloween centerpieces and let's decorate your home.

Quick and Easy Centerpieces

Pumpkinfest

It may seem cliché, but using pumpkins as centerpieces is a safe, yet elegant idea. There are various techniques you can use for using pumpkin as the center attraction of your table.

Arrange them in wicker basket
Place flowers in a hollow pumpkin
Stuff it with fake leaves
Carve small pumpkins
Place candles in a hollow pumpkin
Arrange in a glass jar

There's just so much to do. And all this is possible with a little bit of imagination and creativity.

Flower Power

You can go either way with flowers as your centerpieces for Halloween. Make it spooky or sweet, your guests will be left speechless. Here's how.

Arrange flower buds on a tray
Glue flowers over a pumpkin
Stick fake spiders on flower petals
Place black candles with the bouquet
Dried flowers with cobwebs
Use spooky vases

Flowers don't necessarily have to look beautiful (if you don't want them to); especially for Halloween. You can easily add as many spooky embellishment as you like.

Carriage Ride

Here's a creative idea! If you can find a small carriage (sort of like Cinderella's carriage) from a craft store, you can make a wonderful centerpiece.

Place a pumpkin with dried leaves
Fill it with flowers and mini pumpkins
Place small or one big candle in
Glue small bugs and spiders all over
Place cobwebs all over the carriage
Keep a skull inside

Aren't these ideas just fabulous! There are a ton of things that can be done here. Again, bring in as many embellishment as you can and you can really make this centerpiece fantastic.

Light Candles

Using candles for centerpieces is again a 'tried and tested' (successful) idea. And for Halloween, you too can take it to a whole new level. Using various colored candles and a few accessories will really make a difference.

Orange and black floating candles
Candles and pine cones
Couple of candles inside glass holders
Creepy insects crawling over tall candles
A big candle inside a carved pumpkin
Tall glass filled with candies and a candle on top
Animal-shaped candles

You can find various types of candles, especially for Halloween, in craft stores. Place the candles with care and make sure that small children are away from them.

Decorated Tray

Finally, we ask you to use your imagination and come up with something completely different. Using a tray, there can be many techniques used for a Halloween centerpiece.

A row of multicolored candles and dried leaves
Hollow pumpkin made with strings
An upside down skull stuffed with licorice and candy
A tray full of colored candies
Glow-in-the-dark pumpkins
Pumpkin made with dried orange slices

If you don't wish to use a tray, you can use coasters, small wicker baskets, etc. for your centerpieces. The point is, you need to be original.

Making centerpieces at home along with your entire family or kids is fun and is the best part of enjoying Halloween. Centerpieces found at party stores are relatively expensive, so it is pointless to use it for a day and dump it in the basement later. So try these ideas and you'll definitely have something rave about.
