Halloween Door Hang/Wall Vase

First of all, sorry.  I came up with this idea and started to make it before I came to the realization that it might make a good Instructable for Halloween.  The project is pretty simple, so I don't think it will matter that much. 

I don't like cute Halloween decorations and I generally don't make gory stuff.  But, I do like things that look realistic and I like to make them CHEAPLY!  I typically make my house look like a place that's been abandoned for years with an old picket fence, boarded up windows, tombstones of course, etc.  (More Instructables to come).

Anyway, one of my additions this year was this decoration on my front door.  If you decorate inside, you could also hang it on a wall.

Here's what you need:

• Metal wall vase
• Cheap foam skull
• Flat black spray paint
• Glue gun (with glue of course)
• Sand (optional)
• Cinnamon and Paprika (What?!?!)
• Spray can of clear sealer
• Dried flowers, weeds, bones, or whatever you want to put in your vase

Step 1 The Vase

Okay, I didn't take a picture of my wall vase before I painted it or the skull before I attached it, but these pics are basically of the same type of objects.  You can get a vase at flower shops, craft stores, etc., but I located mine at a local thrift store for $1.50.  The one I used is about 8 inches tall and about 5 inches wide at its widest point.  I purchased the skull for $2.
