Black and gold spooky decor is one of my favorite ways to decorate for Halloween. I think it brings a certain elegance to decorating for a rather gory holiday.

Let me show you how to create these gorgeous gold and black beaded painted pumpkins to create the perfect haunted entryway. It is sure to frighten anyone who knocks on your front door!

I found a set of ceramic pumpkins to paint online. They go perfectly with my black and gold setup. They were super easy to paint and finish with mini beads and gilding. I think they add the perfect amount of glam to greet my guests. Here’s how I made them.

Gold and Black Beaded Painted Pumpkins

Supplies:

Instructions:

  • Paint the pumpkins with black acrylic paint. Do not paint the stems black. Let them dry. 
  • In a ventilated space and while wearing gloves, paint the stems carefully with the liquid gold gilding.
  • Follow the gilding directions carefully. Gilding can be toxic so make sure to open a window. Let it dry.

  • Paint Elmer’s Glue-All around the stem and down the edges of the pumpkin.

  • Sprinkle the micro beads over the glue. Repeat until all of the glue is covered with beads.

NOTE: An easy way to save the beads and not use them up all at once is to place the pumpkin in a deep dish and pour the beads over the pumpkin. Catching the beads in the dish to reuse. Repeat steps using the beads caught in the dish.

Black Gold Halloween Entryway

Here is how I put together the rest of my gold and black haunted entryway!

I just love the gold skeletons I’m seeing the stores this year.

All I did to create this scene was add some creepy fabric over a chair, added the gold skeleton, and give him a cute top hat and boa to hang out in.

The cute witch on the wall is actually a yard stake! So you can either hang her inside like I did or stick her in your garden!

The fringe on the table is the Halloween Lamp Shade Topper. You can tie it around a lampshade for a more ominous spooky look. I thought it was perfect on my front entry to add an old Victorian glam feel to my table.

Halloween Gorilla Rug

Did you notice the crazy gorilla rug on the floor? He is animatronic and when you step on him he screams and plays crazy King Kong sounding music. His eyes light up red too! So fun!

Halloween Pumpkins and crystal ball

My favorite is the crystal ball! It is super cool with water in it like an empty snow globe! So mystical for Halloween!

  1. Where did you get the gold skeleton?

  2. Love the gold and black beaded pumpkins! I want to make them. What type of beads did you use for the pumpkins? I’m new to crafting and there are several types, sizes, and brands of beads. Please let me know the brand, material(glass versus plastic), size of beads, and where to find them. Thank you!

    1. Hi Mary,
      The micro beads I used on these pumpkins are now unfortunately discontinued. You can find them here. The colors I used from that set were the gold (third on bottom) and black (last on top in the pic). I would try using the smallest beads you can find, like size 11/0 or smaller if you can find it. Glass beads would probably be the prettiest. You should probably go into a craft store and look for the smallest beads. It is really hard to tell online the exact size. I hope this helps.
