Halloween is the perfect time to get a little spooky with your DIY décor, and nothing says creepy quite like an eyeball staring out from your plants! A DIY eyeball plant is an easy, affordable craft project that adds just the right mix of eerie and playful to your Halloween decorations
What You’ll Need
- Plastic Eyeballs
- Small Ceramic Pot
- Floral Foam
- Mesh Tubing
- Glow Stick Bracelets (Bendable)
- Craft Wire (minimum 18 gauge)
- Faux Branches
- Foam Cutter
- Spanish Moss
- Wire Cutters
- Hot Glue
- Pointed Metal Punch (or metal skewer)
How to Make an Eyeball Plant for Halloween
Cut the floral foam to fit into the ceramic pot and insert it into the pot. Make sure it fits snugly.
Using your punch, pierce a hole in the side of the plastic eyeballs.. Placing the eyeballs on a towel to hold them steady will help prevent injury and mistakes.
Poke the glow bracelets (or wire) into the floral foam. These will be the stems, so give them enough room to add the eyballs to the top, without crowding. Do not activate the bracelets yet.
If using wire, trim if needed, using wire cutters.
Fold over the end of the wire to hide the sharp end.
Cut pieces of mesh tubing to fit the lengths of the bracelets and wire and slip them over the top. If they are too long, trim as needed.
Slip an eyeball over the bracelet/wire.
Add a small amount of glue to the base of the eyeball and press it into the mesh tubing if the eyeball is loose.
Add glue to the surface of the floral foam.
Press the Spanish moss into the glue and then trim if needed.
When you are ready to display, bend the bracelets and arrange the eyeball plant however you like. The bracelets will glow and create a cool light-up effect for your eyeball plant.
Whenever you want to refresh your eyeball plant, replace the glow bracelets, and you’re all set.
Make poking holes in the eyeballs easier by placing a small piece of masking tape on the eyeball. This helps prevent the punch from slipping, making the job go faster.
