Dollar Tree Halloween DIYs
Get ready for some spooky fun! In this blog, we're exploring easy Halloween craft projects to make your home extra eerie. You can whip up these projects using affordable items from Dollar Tree, so you won't spend too much. So, grab your supplies, and let's start crafting! 🧙♀️🖤
Crystal Ball
For the base of the crystal ball, I started with a Dollar Tree cat food bowl. After giving it a generous coat of black chalk paint, I set it aside to dry.
To create the inside of the crystal ball, I repurposed the haunted house from a pack of Dollar Tree DIY stickers. To provide support, I used four tumbling tower blocks and two tiny pieces of scrap wood from my craft stash. A coat of black paint with a paint marker gave them a cohesive look.
After gluing the blocks together and attaching the scrap wood to the back of the haunted house, I secured the haunted house inside the cat food bowl with hot glue. I also cut a piece of transparency film to fit inside a Dollar Tree dome-shaped glass candle holder.
To add a touch of motion, I used rub-on transfers to create bats flying around the haunted house. After applying the bats to the transparency film, I glued it in place and added a bit of Spanish moss to cover the base. Finally, I placed a glass dome upside down over the haunted house.
Potions + Spells Stand
Starting with an interchangeable crate stand I previously created, I prepared the sign at the top by cutting notches in a large craft stick with steel snips. After painting and applying "Potions & Spells" in silver shimmer vinyl, I attached the signs to existing magnets on the crate.
I adorned the front with an LED ghost necklace from Big Lots for added flair. To finish, I added wizardry-themed items from Michaels and a small straw broom from Hobby Lobby.
This spooky-cute stand would make a great addition to a Halloween-themed tiered tray.
Burlap Pictures
For this project, I picked up two wood plaques from the Crafter’s Square section at Dollar Tree. After painting them black, I traced burlap pieces and cut them to fit. Using a Cricut machine, I cut spider and crow designs from black glittery iron-on vinyl.
Following the heat guide, I applied the designs to the burlap using an EasyPress Mini. To attach the fabric to the wood plaques, I used matte Mod Podge.
These simple pieces would add the perfect amount of spook to your Halloween displays.
BOO! Pumpkins
Starting with four wood pumpkins from Dollar Tree, I painted them black and the stems with silver metallic paint. Using my Cricut, I applied white adhesive vinyl to spell out "BOO!" and added silver shimmer vinyl spiderwebs.
After making bows from black sheer ribbon, I glued the pumpkins together to create one solid piece. This beginner-friendly Halloween project came together beautifully.
Halloween Tombstones
Using a wood tombstone blank from Dollar Tree, I painted it gray and traced over the lines and designs with a black paint marker. Applying various phrases cut from black adhesive vinyl with my Cricut, I personalized each tombstone.
To add texture, I used hot glue to attach Spanish moss and added a skull from Dollar Tree. This piece can be tailored to match your specific Halloween decor.
Raven Decor
Starting with a wood crate from Dollar Tree, I painted it black and added floral foam to the top. By modifying a bamboo ring, applying Antique Gold Rub’n Buff, and arranging the crow and purple rose picks, I created a striking centerpiece.
Wrapping fairy lights around the ring and adding a black spider web for that final spooky touch completed the look.
