Looking for a Halloween project that’s spooky and glam? This DIY Disco Ball Skeleton Wall Hanging combines eerie skeleton vibes with sparkling disco energy—perfect for anyone who loves a little shine with their scare. It’s a statement piece that looks like something straight out of a haunted dance party, and the best part is—it’s surprisingly easy to make!

Supplies You’ll Need

• 1 plastic skeleton (full-size or mini, depending on your frame)
• 12×16 black photo frame
• Black spray paint
• Silver and gold disco ball ornaments in various sizes
• Hot glue gun + glue sticks
• Black faux baby’s breath
• Serrated knife + cutting board (for cutting ornaments)
• Scissors
• Black glitter tulle

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Frame

Remove the glass and backing from your photo frame. Spray paint the frame black for a sleek, spooky base. Let it dry completely.

Step 2: Skeleton Placement

Using scissors or your hands, remove the legs and arms from your plastic skeleton so it fits comfortably inside the frame. Hot glue the skeleton to the center of the backing. This will be your focal point.

Step 3: Disco Ball Magic

Use a serrated knife on a cutting board to carefully cut your disco ball ornaments in half. Hot glue the disco ball halves around the skeleton, filling in the frame evenly. Cover the entire background with disco balls, but leave the outer edges of the frame visible for a polished look.

Step 4: Add Texture

Snip small sprigs of black faux baby’s breath and glue them in between some of the disco balls. This adds dimension and a moody, gothic touch to the sparkling backdrop.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Cut a strip of black glitter tulle and tie it into a bow. Glue or tie the bow to the top of the frame for hanging.

Display Ideas

Hang your disco skeleton on the wall near your Halloween bar cart, add it to a spooky gallery wall, or use it as a backdrop for a Halloween party photo booth. The contrast of eerie skeleton and glittering disco balls makes it both festive and glam—just the right mix of spooky and chic.

✨ Pro Tip: If you want even more drama, add battery-operated fairy lights around the frame to make the disco balls sparkle at night!
