How to Make A Gothic Bouquet - Gothic Homemaking Presents

In this episode, I show you how I made a Gothic bouquet using artificial flowers and plants from Joann Fabric and Crafts store. It's an update of a project I had in my now out of print book, Paint it Black: A Guide to Gothic Homemaking, where I made a gothic bouquet from dried plants and twigs from the dried plant district in NYC. This updated project uses materials that are vastly easier for people to find across the states! I hope you enjoy seeing how I put together a lovely but really macabre looking bouquet!

[@neva_nyx]

Best video quote!

[@autumnchaos]

I feel this in my dark dark soul

[@Hyraxion]

Dude the aesthetic in these videos are on point.

[@satanswife2546]

Somebody make it 100 likes

[@FaeoreNeko]

You make me happy. There are some youtubers I subscribe to (most of them) that I will pass up a video that doesn't seem interesting. I watch all of yours. I'm not even gothic. I just love the aesthetic and your personality.

[@cookieoppressor9700]

Same. He looks so cool, sympathetic and he is really funny.

[@celticbones2695]

I love it, I’m imagining you as a wedding planner and the singer. That would be the most perfect wedding

[@nonentity001]

I wish Voltaire could play my wedding haha that would be the best

[@menace_bunny]

I’m not usually a fan of artificial flowers (mainly because they’re not easy to clean) but this looks so beautiful!

[@autumnchaos]

A canister of spray air (typically used to clean the inside of computers) works well for getting the dust out

[@CataLyst7]

@@autumnchaos gr8 idea!! Thanks 😀

[@originalren]

I don’t have an artistic bone in my body but this series has made me come over all decorational in my own place. Results... vary. 😂

[@christinajimenez5036]

You just get more handsome with every new video. The facial hair is looking quite distinguished. 🖤

[@neutril2422]

Every time I watch Gothic Homemaking I think "I should get a glue gun!" I love the vase and the bouquet

[@tanachke]

“And just like everything else on this show. It looks like utter crap until we take it outside and paint it black.” 🤣🤣🤣 So funny! I love the way this looks. I didn’t know I could like artificial flowers. Who knew?

[@destinynoir2004]

First 😉 When I get married someday I will use a bouquet similar to the one to this video. It's beautiful.

[@satanswife2546]

I would to... but what if I can't find a soulmate because I have no soul

[@psychomanatee3459]

If you throw this bouquet after the wedding, does that mean the person who catches it, instead of being the next one to get married, will be the next on to die?

[@moth7496]

As a former florist’s assistant who became the faux florist for my university theatre’s prop department, this is absolutely my jam!

[@MorriganJezebel]

Faaaaabulous!!! ❤️ Gorgeous! I have minimal decoration on my room but I can get behind this 🖤..... All of them Beetlejuice quotes have me living!...

[@Hexabelle0]

Why is this handsome devil better at building a creepy-chic bouquet than me? I'm jealous of his creativity when it comes to turning the mundane into the extraordinary!

[@KallosCrypt]

Now I can have the flowers I want in my wedding when I find a bride

[@thetrannyshop5596]

I think it needs some steel roses. I might just be thinking that because I make those.

[@AliceinDisneyWorld1125]

I didn't realize I needed steel roses in my life until I saw your comment. It just sounds so elegant yet badass. 🖤

[@loriginnreed2343]

That would make a beautiful bridal bouquet, too! I love the colors used🖤💜🖤

[@skullzyspikey5545]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! "I know. I know. Your whole life is a big dark room. Mine too." MY FAVORITE part!!!!! Xoxo Volty!!! 💜💀💜💀

[@j3tztbassman123]

I still have my copy of "Paint it Black" a treasure that you autographed at Pi-Con some 8 or 9 years ago.

[@gothicmom5232]

I love your videos so much that I'm sitting in a hospital bed watching . I'm in the cardiac room and when your theme song was heard, it scared the nurses!!

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Oh dear! Lol! Feel better and get out of there soon!

[@ScorpionFlower68]

I really love 🖤 that vase! Now I know what I can do with my own plain, boring vases.

[@Lani012]

Your charm leaps off the screen 💜💜💜💜

[@geminigrrl66]

I bought some awesome black roses at Michael's this past Halloween.

[@AFarmerCalledChicken]

Watching you do this makes me remember when my mom worked at a florist! You'd be surprised how many people want dark colors. I love this! I wish I would have bought some of them when I had the chance!

[@muser0608]

You're a master

[@Sclasspsycho]

That home is how I want mine to look like when I get my own someday!

[@Shadowlessman-cr5it]

I love all the beetlejuice references in this episode I gives insight on Voltaire's sense of humor

[@JonKellerXXXX]

At first I thought it would be too much, but I was shockingly impressed by how it all came together in the end.

[@23Dakini]

Love your Gothic Boo---Kay! The vase was a nice finishing touch.

[@ivorykohl8578]

Being strange and unusual myself, all the references made my night. That arrangement turned out beautifully. I've got some boring vases I'm definitely going to give the glue gun treatment to. Brilliant as always!

[@Adam-ce3wc]

loving all the beetlejuice references in this one! and i'm definitely stealing the look of the lair.. it's fit for a gothic prince such as myself!

[@Chrisdead27]

Now that's a bouquet I would give to my mother or my awesome dark goth girlfriend. I love this bouquet

[@1015SaturdayNight]

I just made a great gothic bouquet, the roses are dark blood colored velvet fabric and I used black faux oak leaves. My vase is a thrift find from my sister, a ceramic Victorian Granny boot in black enamel! Thrifting is great for vases, candle holders, etc. I have to keep this away from the asshole cats, they think fake foliage is absolutely delicious. Your vase turned out incredible!

[@AlchemixIncTM]

I was never big on floral decor but this video is changing my mind on that

[@orangekittystudios]

a whole internet in my phone, and i had to come here to understand flower arranging! love this bouquet!!

[@chrisstone3455]

Perfect I’m always wishing my time away until a new one of these arrives💜🖤

[@Rhyiannion]

That's so cool... I'm inspired to revamp my Wormwood vase, now that I keep putting it in my pillow!!

[@ReiHino1987]

Voltaire has the best ideas for diy gothic decor!

[@montygazdecki4180]

Living for the Betelgeuse references!!

[@DeeMolition]

Truly awesome! I needed this before I made the funeral wreath for my mom's passing. Yeah, it was on the door on El Dia de los Muertos.

[@kingcornelius865]

You are so funny and talented, it is such a pleasure to watch your videos!! 😘

[@jacquijuarez4831]

I bought that same branch of Halloween flowers and actually made my interior design Halloween project with it. I deconstructed it bought a skull spray painted it black made a hole at the top and with some flower clay I took the flowers and arranged them into the hole at the top of the skull. She's a real looker and I love how she came out (yes I gendered my project XD)

[@zombabe0_o]

All these beetlejuice comments just make my little black heart soar 🖤🖤🖤

[@SearchingNewAdventures]

Now I have just started watching your videos and you can guess, tomorrow I will be working my way to the Michael's myself to see what I can do with my Goth Magical Mind.

[@robinorear4307]

There is no limit to your talents! Thank you for sharing!

[@dianefields295]

Oh my favorite is black flowers. It’s good made ideas. I love it. I will made it myself I know how to do it. Thank you for show me how to made. 👍🖤🤟🏽😘📱

[@oldwickedlotus]

So glad I found this video. I am gonna try and make that for my wedding this October.

[@corrodedperception]

That bouquet is absolutely gorgeous!

[@TheSonOfTheDragon]

Voltaire, from one bearded man to another I must say you are rocking those streaks. Hopefully mine will look at least half as good when I'm older.

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

Pro tip: you let it go white then dye black everything but the steaks. ; )

[@TheSonOfTheDragon]

@@TheLairofVoltaire Thanks for replying, I honestly didn't expect you to. I've been a fan of you, your music, and videos for years. Infact it's because of you I bought a set of skull glasses from t.j. maxx, they're perfect for my jack and coke, as well as the blood of my enemies.

[@Havensangel1]

This really helped with inspiration for my lair. I've been in a Beetlejuice/ Lydia Deetz phase recently so all those references really made me smile!

[@Wanezza07]

Holly hell! I want that one!!! 😍😍 I love these short videos! Keep it up! 😍

[@suzi2194]

What a glorious BOO-kay! 🦇🖤🦇

[@dorym.tomaselli6739]

Definitely something I would like to try. Hopefully I can source enough black and macabre looking pieces from either Michael's or JoAnne. Great project! 👍💀👻

[@neyneylupin8721]

Wooow!! Tenia mucho tiempo buscando esa sensación de oscuridad,elegancia y tenebrosidad. Me gusto ese ramo!! De hecho,todo el conjunto!!

[@ThePillager2099]

This is so badass, this would definitely complement my gray room!!

[@thelemondoesthings7971]

You're entire aesthetic is 100% goals!! 🖤🖤🖤

[@rexg2985]

I really liked the idea of hot glue on the vase and paint.

[@thehollowseance]

Man I wish I could had made something like this for my wedding. It's super cool

[@devilman2465]

Great looking arrangement. I just I'd seen this while the items were still available at the stores.

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

I bet you can still get them online

[@LadyHallowdeath]

As someone who studied floral arranging in her spare time, your arrangement is not only on point, but a classic triangle shape befitting most arrangements in a funeral home. I MUST know: did you ask any of your mortuary or floral-inclined friends for advice or did you just go with your gut?

[@TheLairofVoltaire]

I have zero floral arrangement training or advice. Like everything else I do, I just wung it.

[@stephaniem.8220]

That is a gorgeous bouquet! It has a bit of a dark romantic feel to it (I'm kind of a sucker for romance). It turned out really nice.

[@Rookvaleriannocturne]

Tbh, gonna use this as inspiration for my wedding bouquet and flower arrangements. Love your vids! 🖤🖤

[@hellyvillarreal8813]

So beautiful, thanks for the tips. Going to make my wedding bouquet now I just need to go to Joanne's

Hey I just got an amazing idea. If you still have those blue bees you could put them on (maybe glue or clip) them onto your bouquet!! Or maybe you could string them and make them look like they are flying around the flowers? I don't know just a thought
