Have you heard of the Dollar Store Craft Challenge? O-M-GEEE IT IS SO MUCH FUN!! I went a little crazy and did multiple crafts. I could not help myself. Sometimes you can find the most amazing things at the Dollar Tree!! Okay...moving on. So, I started with a couple storage jars, candle sticks. Broke out the E600 glue and made apothecary jars with chalkboard paint labels. I went with a basic ivory so I could change out the decor from holiday to holiday. Quickly added some scrapbooking Halloween labels and a couple cute little spiders. Finished up with little electric tape to make the stitches. Voila!
Next up......the adorable little pumpkins!! Grabbed a few of these cuties from Dollar Tree. They do have a hideous seam around the middle of the pumpkins, so I had to devise a way to hide that mess! Quickly covered them with a paint of black latex paint. When it dried I was disappointed that I did not notice I used the matte finish paint. DRATS! Found a bottle of black glitter paint and went over with a quick sloppy coating. Once dried I applied some adorable googgly eyes to one pumpkin and some glittery spiderwebs with spiders on the two others.
Lastly, the large pumpkin. Yes...YES...I know, that did not come from the Dollar Tree. I did find the grosgrain black ribbon there. Wrapped the pumpkin with a bow. Added some scrapbook trim to make the pumpkin pop.
There you have it. An adorable Halloween spread that your children would love for less than a Venti Frapaccino from Starbucks!!!
Hope this inspires you to head to your local Dollar Tree and take on the Craft Challenge. BTW...I would love to see what you made. Feel free to post it to my Facebook Page: Fabulously Clever. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fabulously-Clever/317923044966148?hc_location=timeline
