15. Gothic Skull Candelabra
Combine several plastic skulls from the dollar store to create a dramatic, gothic candelabra. Stack and hot glue the skulls in a circular cluster or a towering column, then paint the entire structure with a solid coat of textured matte black or metallic antique bronze paint. Secure candle cups to the tops of the skulls to hold tall, dripping taper candles. As the wax melts down the dark, sculpted faces of the skulls, this DIY lamp becomes a stunning, macabre masterpiece that serves as the perfect focal point for a spooky dining experience.
