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!🙌
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!🧡🧡🙌 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!)🖤🕸
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$!! (Yay!!)I literally never realized that you could go to your local dollar store or grocery store& get all the same things you would find online or at party city and the prices are 3x what the dollar store was!🧡🙌🎃
We made my own glow in the dark spooky Mason jars!(ofcourse the pink ones are mine!haha) using only 3 things!!
- Cotton balls!
- Dollar store bugs🕷🦗
- Glow sticks!💚🧪
The next thing we made was bloody candles!🕯❤🥰 INCREDIBLY easy and fun to do! And they legit look like bloody candles too! My friend gave me this idea so we definitely had to give it a try!🕯🙌It was only 2$ to make this!!❤🙌 All you have to do is melt the crayon over the white candle until you feel your candle is “bloody enough”😋🕯🖍 (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” lol💀🛁 it only cost 10$ to make& it came out looking soo cool and funny!🥰💀🖤(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!❤🙌 (you can hot glue the clear balls to the cotton to ensure they won’t fall off) Affordable& awesome!💀🖤👻
Next decoration (it was my husband’s awesome idea!)💡🙌 is a skull head table decor using 3 things!🖤💀
- Orange& black gift shredding paper
- Skull heads💀
- 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!)🕷🕸
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)💕It took a couple of hours to have it all together but it’s perfect for family time💕🙌 It’s super fun to do as a family& it looks so pretty& spooky in the end!🖤
I have a lot more ideas but then I would be blogging all day lol!💗 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 family🧡
(I’m so blessed to have my two special boys in my life!)💙
