Hey guys! Today’s blog is about how my little family bought& made our Halloween decor and spent only a fraction of what we thought we were going to originally spend!๐
Me and my husband set out a budget for 85$ that we could spend on Halloween decor,spider webs, etc.
Well, we had to stop by the dollar store for some batteries and ended up walking out with soo much halloween stuff at such a small price!!
I have a lot of diy hacks& ideas so bare with me!๐งก๐งก๐ lol
In the pictures below are over half the things that we bought from the dollar store(the other few things are already hung up!)๐ค๐ธ

Glow in the dark spiders- 1$
Jack o lantern glow sticks- 1$
Black cat light up lantern- 1$
Glow in the dark sticky eyes- 1$
Hanging color changing ghost- 3$
Led tea lights- 1$
Spooky mirror stickers- 1$
R.I.P decor- 50 cents
Stuffed ghost- 1$
Skull heads- 1$
Hanging ghost- 2.50$
Light up jack o latern- 3$

Our original budget was 85$ and we ended up spending 20$!! (Yay!!)I literally never realized that you could go to your local dollar store or grocery store& get all the same things you would find online or at party city and the prices are 3x what the dollar store was!๐งก๐๐
We made my own glow in the dark spooky Mason jars!(ofcourse the pink ones are mine!haha) using only 3 things!!
- Cotton balls!
- Dollar store bugs๐ท๐ฆ
- Glow sticks!๐๐งช

The next thing we made was bloody candles!๐ฏโค๐ฅฐ INCREDIBLY easy and fun to do! And they legit look like bloody candles too! My friend gave me this idea so we definitely had to give it a try!๐ฏ๐It was only 2$ to make this!!โค๐ All you have to do is melt the crayon over the white candle until you feel your candle is “bloody enough”๐๐ฏ๐ (I used my blow dryer so it’s a lot less messy& gets the job done!)

Next thing we made is what we call “the soaking skeleton” lol๐๐ it only cost 10$ to make& it came out looking soo cool and funny!๐ฅฐ๐๐ค(We used our own bucket/container that’s why it wasnt added!)It was SUPER simple, all we did was set the skeleton in the bucket,(in laying position) Dillon filled the bucket with cotton balls to the top, then we just sat the different sized clear balls on the cotton to make it look like bubbles! That’s it!โค๐ (you can hot glue the clear balls to the cotton to ensure they won’t fall off) Affordable& awesome!๐๐ค๐ป

Next decoration (it was my husband’s awesome idea!)๐ก๐ is a skull head table decor using 3 things!๐ค๐
- Orange& black gift shredding paper
- Skull heads๐
- Led lights

Orange& black gift shredding paper-1.50$
Small led string lights-2$
(You can also add spiders to it like we did if you want a more spooky effect!)๐ท๐ธ
The last idea is the haunted house kit we bought online (I honestly forgot which store but they sell everywhere online!) Me, Dillon& Wyatt had a absolute blast making this together!!(it was my favorite thing to do as a family)๐It took a couple of hours to have it all together but it’s perfect for family time๐๐ It’s super fun to do as a family& it looks so pretty& spooky in the end!๐ค

I have a lot more ideas but then I would be blogging all day lol!๐ I hope you guys like our little diy crafts we made, we spent so much quality time together by doing these fun,spooky crafts together as a family๐งก
(I’m so blessed to have my two special boys in my life!)๐
I hope yall enjoyed this blog and get to try one of these hacks with your family& friends sometime!๐ค๐งก
From our house to yours, have a blessed weekend๐๐
