- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- Welcome to my first every spooky Christmas tree decorations episode! In this episode I transform one dollar decorations from The Dollar Tree into gothic ornaments worthy of Jack Skelinton's tree ( or at least I try to!!!) I hope you will enjoy my spooky transformation as I turn the mundane into the macabre this Christmastime!

How bout Cryptmas? I mean, you've already got the crypt keeper's cousin Orville XD
good idea
LOL 🤣 I have been calling it Cryptmas for around 13 years now, as a joke amongst the family! So glad to see someone else is using the same thing! 🤜🤛✌️
Cyptmas was the first thing I thought of x'D
N A V I D A R K S🖤💀
For those who don't use Spanish as their primary/first language. Christmas should be called Spookmas! 💀🦇🎄🦇💀
As a glitter goth Dominicana, I approve NaviDarks as well.
Navidark Navidark, bella Navidark.
Es un día muy siniestro que te asustará
Feliz navidarks, feliz navidarks

Dark greetings in this unholy season of YuleDied.
I vote for this one!
I don’t know about voting, but you’ve hit the skull on the head! 💀
Well Said!!!😊😉
Ty. I appreciate both your dark sense of humor and your morbid realistic choice. My mom died in April. Completely unrelated to Covid, but it’s been a massive Suck Fest without Eric Northman my crush on True Blood. 🧛♂️
have a drink every time he says "I took it outside and painted it black " :)
That’s the funniest thing I’ve read all day LOL
Yesss
I couldn't stop giggling when you were talking about your Christmas Balls! I'm an adult! It was still hysterical! Your ideas are great!
Ikr! My mind was in the gutter! ☺️
I dont know about you, but Voltaire kinda nailed it with Season of Wither
I stole it from Motley Crue's "Shout at the Devil!" Lol!
How about merry krampusmas or something like that.
"Fly Robert Smith, Fly!" 😆. Friday I am in love with this video!
I laughed so loud when he said that
@@valearguellova 😂 me too, I paused video and rewinded to make sure I heard him right!
Omg yes lamo 😂
Voltaire you should make a Christmas song about Krampus ! Oh the ideas .
Seconded. 🎄🎄
most definite
That’s the best free hand jack skeleton I’ve ever seen.
I work at a dollar tree and pretty much everything he says is accurate
I work at one to but we at least try to put broken things in the 50 cent area instead of making people pay full price.
Yeah, I'ma merchandise manager at a dt and I don't hang up the broken ornaments. I mark them down if it's an easy fix, or put them in the damaged in shipment basket.
Love the Nightmare Before Christmas theme. Merry Gothmas.
My fiancé says it should be, "Scary Cryptmas!"
Ohhhh I love Cryptmas! “ Have yourself a Scary little Cryptmas!”
I vote for Cryptmas 🙋🏻♀️ best one I've heard 😁
Lets call this:
Gothic Homemaking: Spooky Winter Nights
Not only is the process of turning one thing into another very creative, I love how things "wrongly" bought end up as a part of a future creation. Kudos!
How about using Deadcember, since usually the whole month has a X-Mas feel? Or Deadmas 😅
works 👍
I enjoy Deadmas. I live in northern Illinois and everything around here looks dead as fuck. LOL
Seasons Grimmings
Imagine being a dollar tree employee so tired at the late shift and then Voltaire just pops up??
take a shot every time Goth dad™️ roasts the dollar tree
I have a tall goth black tree, all gnarled. Now I know the perfect decorations for it.
"...I took my balls outside and I painted them BLACK!" LMAO!!! 😆🖤
🖤🎄💀🎃✨🖤
Wow. You married gothic elegance with Nightmare Before Christmas whimsy. Love it!
Happy and Spooky Ghoultide!
Have a Ghoul Yule!
I never thought I'd hear a Moana reference from you.
Been Calling it “Gothmas” forever now. Super fun episode! Definitely helps the holiday quarantine boredom. 🎄🦇
Same lol. I thought Gothmas was already established, but I feel like no one uses it anymore (I felt like it was popular to say in 2017/8?). I know I still use it though. xD
I second on the Ghoul Yule. But Feliz NaviDarks y'all!
Make your ghoultide gay! 🖤
Thank you YT recommendation.
Finally some good stuff
Dear goth dad. Your tree would even impress christine !!!!i love it!!!!
For your consideration: Decemberween
I've heard of Garter Belts, but Garter Bells, that's outrageous :D
I love the South Park reference at 7:26 plus the Trepanation crack!
the bells and the reindeere blow my mind!! i really love it, you see? i told you, it was amazing. Mr. Skellington will loves this tree 👌💀👌, from Sonora, Mexico... Feliz Navidark to all 😀
I LOVE the snowflakes in black, and the church with silverleaf on it! Now the church looks like a haunted house! Well done sir!
With the clear baubles I tip a bit of nail polish (or you could use paint) inside them and roll them around until they are completely covered internally. You can use straight black or glitter black, holographic black etc. You get more black variance with nail polish rather than paint. Unlike painting on the outside of a bauble, this can't scratch off if it scrapes a tree branch.
Jack and Krampus would definitely be proud!
I LOVE WATCHING THAT MOVIE TOO! 🧛♀️🎃🎄⛄
I like the large ball ornaments. The first one looked like some kind of ice dark type pokeball!
a day where Voltaire posts is always a good day ☠️☠️
Navidead, the season of withering 😹
This show just gets better and better! I love it
Idk why but the flapper/droid joke was the one that did me in.
Id like to see a group of flapper droids doing a dance. *sigh* LOL
"I took my balls outside & spray painted them black". My, you REALLY do paint everything black!
I wanted to make a Halloween/gothic tree this year and I always make my ornaments. I’m inspired and happy. Thank you.
EDIT: better late than never, friends.
Watching in 2023! 🖤
I absolutely appreciate your imagination.
When you said, “fly Robert Smith, fly!” to that adorable glitter reindeer I laughed so hard! 🤣. Great job! I love each ornament and your tree looks amazing! For many of us dark monster babies, Yule is the reason for the season. Trees were originally brought into the home by pagans and adorned with baubles and candles to bring light and joy into the home during the darkest days of the year. I also love the suggestion of Cryptmas above! 🖤🤟🏻🖤🎄🖤
In my need to craft and not feeling into bunnies 🐰 and foo foo things out there atm this video warms my dark little heart
Brilliant!!! Pumpkins made out of those baubles excellent idea. “Riding a black reindeer with a gothic bow down the side of a decorated Xmas tree” excellent bravo sir bravo 👍👍👍👍👍
I’m all for Gothmas......
Darkest Raven Designs has just done her own DIY for Gothmas. I’m loving all these spooky seasonal ideas!!!
Ohhh I love them all! The candy corn in the clear balls are my favorite! & the church!! Thank you! Can’t wait for the kids & I to make a spooky Tree!
Creepmas is pretty simple and to the point 😁
Such a lovely tree! And "Cryptmas" has a nice ring to it.
I so love this! I put a black tree on my porch for Halloween that I leave up for Saturnalia, and I am going to see what I can find left at dollar stores and start on my decor for 2021. I am also a pirate (a real pirate character at festivals), and what you have created is so perfect for me! Love these makeovers so much.
Can't get over how AMAZING those ornaments turned out!! All it takes is some imagination and glitter! Looking forward to the rest.
I would like a gothic tree not just Christmas time but I think it would look great anytime of the year.
The clear ornaments are also a great base to make some witches balls, for the magickally inclined.
Last year I made a TH-cam video on my channel as well of me decorating my first Gothic Christmas Tree. I too use a white tree that I bought at Target. But I purchased a black boa from Party City to darken the small tree up and make it look fuller as well. I also bought black Mardi Gras beaded necklaces from Party City and used them as garlands for the tree. But my favorite decor was the sliver Christmas Tree Crucifixes decor I found at Target last year along with bat fairy lights I purchased during Halloween. It made the tree look far more Gothic than I anticipated. I topped the tree off with a silvery glittery foam skull that I have had for years. I also added other decors as well as balls that I too colored black.
My suggestions when making a Gothic Christmas Tree is to look for items that you would never think of using to decorate like necklaces and boas. I also suggest going to Target as well. You would be surprised to find a tiny few items that might be perfect for the macabre type of festive embellishments. It's a bit of a hit or miss sometimes but sometimes they do sell Nightmare Before Christmas Tree decor at the very least. Btw, did you know if you go online to Target's website you can find black Christmas trees for sale? Yep. It's true.
Merry Gothmas or Batmas and stay safe and healthy!!!
🖤🎄💀🦇✨🖤
The most beautiful hauntingly wonderful tree💜
Great tree and awesome ideas for ornaments! I call it X-Mas!
Lots of great suggestions here, I was just going to suggest celebrating Krampusnacht. Folks in my hometown go belsnickeling over the holidays. Closing with a Babe quote "Christmas means carnage!"
I LOVE the jack-o'-lantern ornaments!! They came out so precious!
This is awesome, love these ideas! Gracias, Aurelio!
Also, some ideas: "Feliz Gothmas!" // "Merry Gothmas!" // "Seasons Creepings!" // "Witching You a Ghoulish Creepmas!"
Seasons Creepings! I love that!!
Aww this actually warms my little Scrooge heart. Seeing all the traditional Christmas things since October has made me want to vomit profusely at work, but this makes my little creepy heart so happy🖤👻
I like "Yule." It's simple, clear to everyone what you're talking about. Recalls the pagan origins of the holiday. And it has a nice, old-timey feel to it. Of course, I'm probably not the first one to think of this, but "goth-mas" just popped into my head.
I am wiccan and still celebrate Yule, the winter solstice, so to me it doesn't feel all that goth when someone says
Yule. I still picture the same brightly colored tree, mistletoe and all the other classic Christmas trappings that were stolen from pagan faiths of old. That said Yule isn't just for us Wiccans and Pagans; anyone who wants to celebrate the solstice is more than welcome to, and of course as a goth my Yule decorations are a bit more on the dark and spooky side.
Ghoul Yule
Here in Scandinavia, yule is till a thing ~ but not at all a "goth theme" more like nature and Sun Wheel and of course the lovely fire
It sure takes a talented eye to take junky, garish holiday ornaments and turn them into 3-dimensional works of gothic art. Cheers, Voltaire!
When you popped the lights on,it looked amazingly good!
WOW!!!!! Loving your tree. Super gothyCool 🧡🖤🤍
I'm enjoying watching your old videos from many years ago and to see that your still going strong... hugs Lynn Weasenforth 💯🖤🌚🖤☮️ and to top it off...I really love your singing voice.... 💖
“Pirate it up” - I love it!
Ha! Loved the AC DC reference! Awesome Ornaments!
I'm taking inspiration from my Welsh ancestors for spooky holidays. Google "Mari Lwyd" and get ready for a treat! Going door-to-door singing songs asking for sweets and booze, all while parading with a decorated horse skull! It's like trick or treating, but for December!
Nadolig Llawen folks!
Feliz Navidarks!! I loved those ornaments 🦇🖤
These ornaments are SO cute 🤍🧡🖤
i really like how the bells came out
Never have I rushed to a Dollar Tree so fast in my afterlife. XD I want to make these so bad!! Your decorations are elegant, simple and satisfies my personal taste! Plus, I can hang them around my room when the haunted days are over just for more spooky aesthetics. Me and the monsters under the bed thank you sir! :D
I believe this will be the beast cryptmas ever!
lmao Cryptmas is the best name!
While not my aesthetic, you are so creative and make such beautiful things. You should be so proud of your talents!
Dollar Tree has gotten a little better in their quality thankfully.
Holly Jack...!!! Amazing crafts 🖤🎄 that's exactly why I love this channel... 🖤💀
Between fly robert Smith fly and Navidarks....I'm dying over here...lol. just found your channel and I love it
You keep saying "Sadly its easy to remove" but I'm all like "YAY! LESS TIME I GOTTA SPEND PULLING THIS LAME STUFF OFF!" LOL! But seriously I love this channel. You inspire me so much. I'm a broke bat and was thinking how I could spiff up my nightmare before xmas tree.
All sorts of things for a clear Christmas ball:
Crow feathers
Spider web (and fake spiders)
A bunched up snake (or several!)
Candy corn
Tiny bones and skulls
Blood and eyeballs
Black flower petals and glitter
Sparkly ribbon
Tiny pumpkins
Small candies/wrappers
Autumn leaves and twigs
Fake snow and a tiny black tree
Great to meet you and I can’t wait to see more! 💚😺
Dang it... I wish I would have watched this earlier...that'll teach me to save up my gothic homemaking episodes to binge watch! I LOVE those reindeer! I am totally going to make those for next year! I also loved what you did with the leaves...heck I loved it all! One of the greatest things about your DIY episodes... is that even if you don't want to make exactly what you are making (ok that's rare! 😉) you learn some amazing techniques you will definitely use to transform other things! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing your many talents with all of us!!! 😁
Super creative! And Orville was cracking me up😄
Your creative instincts are so good! Halfway through some of your ornaments, I was thinking, "you lost me, not sure I like this one," but then you kept adding to them with just the right touches in just the right places and they really came out beautifully in the end! The reindeer was fantastic and the bulb with the glitter leaves was another favorite of mine.
I don't have a dark name for Christmas, but we call it Giftmas in my family.
I call mine Gothmas. 🖤🖤🖤 I love everything you did here. Great work as usual!!
AMAZING VIDEO! It was so great of you to go to Dollar Tree and show your viewers amazing ideas for decor at a budget. I will definitely be trying these ideas out, much love Aurelio!
Love it! Target carries black Christmas ball ornaments every year. I bought a large box of them a while back for my own tree.
You're crazy man, never change it's awesome.
I use Spooky Christmas. Great projects! 👏👏
Ahhh it’s so beautiful! 🥰 wonderful use of dollar tree items! Merry Gothmas to each and everyone! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
I don't celebrate Christmas, but now I want a delightfully spooky tree like yours. Happy Yule-o-ween!
Wow!!! Thank you for the inspiration!!!!!! Love all of these.
Lmao! You’re hilarious! Omg! By the way I LOVED you in Velocipastor! Amazing performance and amazing movie!
Your diy videos are honestly so impressive! You come up with things I would never think of!!!
Excellent ideas for darkening one's festive season! Personally, I think I'll be calling it Ghoultide!
My 7-Year-old daughter: "I love this guy. He is the best!"
She is wise beyond her years! Lol!
@@TheLairofVoltaire your response made her day. :)
This video is great, a rapid-fire series of fantastic deco ideas, truly brilliant!
"Happy Hellidays"!
also i love that reindeer
My money is either Cryptmas or Krampmas (cause, ya know, gotta pay respects to the goatman XD)
Why do I love all of these and need them for my own Spooky tree???
