Is it just me or is Halloween SO MUCH FUN to decorate for? I have always been a fan of this silly holiday, probably because I love to dress up and break away from the normal monotony of plain old daily life. This year we are having a glam Halloween at our house and I have been patiently waiting to share this Crazy Lady Scientist’s Glam Halloween Table with you. Big shout out to Cost Plus World Market for sponsoring this table, they had so much fun Halloween décor to chose from, I am honored to be an ambassador for their store!  Here is a little throw back to one of my favorite Halloween costumes, my sister made for me…

When I was little my dad would wear the same mask every year and trot me up and down the streets of my neighborhood. He stood at the curb while I ran to the door and collected gobs of candy. My mom stayed home and handed out the treats at our house and by the time we got home she would have all the lights turned off because she had been completely cleaned out. Our neighborhood was a good one for trick or treaters! I love this memory and now love taking my three little ones as a family every year. My fondness of Halloween started way back then. Cost Plus World Market wants to see how you Halloween and are throwing a fun Halloween Photo contest.  I have all the details a little further down, there are gift cards to be won!!! I’m subjecting you to one more childhood photo and then on to the tablescape you came for.

I gathered this gruesome nest of goodies from my local Cost Plus World Market in College Station, Texas, you can find your closest store by using this store locator. Most of the items at this table came from there and you can shop the guide at the end of the post in case you want to grab any fun goodies for your Halloween stash!

When I saw those zombie yard flamingos in the classic Halloween décor I had to have them, but NOT for the yard! This crazy lady wanted to plop them in the middle of the dining room table. If you’ve been around the blog for a hot second you know I love a good tablescape! I decided zombie flamingos only come about at the hands of a crafty scientist..am I right?    Halloween has gone glam!

Glam Halloween Table How To:

I used a big cast iron pot I had in the kitchen to brew up these zombie flamingos. First, I cut down the metal legs with wire cutters and stuck them into a block of floral foam. I used a rock to weigh down the foam.Halloween has gone glam! This crazy lady scientist glam Halloween table setting is so fun, full of fantastic Halloween decorating ideas and Halloween DIY. Featuring zombie flamingos being concocted! Plus Cost Plus World Market Halloween photo contest information.

For the crazy steam I cut some cheesecloth into strips and odd shapes, draped it over a hanger and sprayed it with Quick Stiffen Stuff and allowed to dry. I’ve used this technique before and it was much easier than this go round…you never know with DIY! Once the cheesecloth was dry and had some body to it I threaded some 20 gauge wire through the middle.Halloween has gone glam!

Plus Cost Plus World Market Halloween photo contest information.

I bent the end of the wire and wrapped the cloth around the tip then spread out the cheesecloth and bent it into steamy shapes. Next, stick the steam into the floral foam.Halloween has gone glam!

I stuffed some newspaper in the pot to fill it up and laid a couple of clear balloons around for foamy bubbly steam, then draped cheesecloth all around the bottom covering the entire pot.Halloween has gone glam!

The rest of the table got set with things I think a glam scientist lady would have in her shop…spooky candles, gourds and potions. I took jars, glued skeleton heads on them and then painted them copper and filled them with chocolate eyeballs and coins.

My kids are in love with this aspect of the table, lol! Halloween has gone glam!

Underneath the cloth I ran a string of Led lights for a soft glow. They would be cute in the pot under the cheesecloth too! All of this would be great on a mantel.Halloween has gone glam!

You will be surprised how often you can use black plates at your table, trust me on this one. I thought it was a good time to bust out the gold chargers and my favorite gold flatware (I’ve had mine but World Market has some gorgeous ones), all the glam ladies are doing the same. 😉 Halloween has gone glam!

If you add the spider to the corner you can fold them as shown here or later you can slip them in a napkin ring and the spider will still show.
