Halloween Decor {on a dime}

Happy Halloween!!

I know it's not technically Halloween yet, but now that I have decorated inside it certainly feels like Halloween!! I thought I would share some of my spooky decor with you and the budget in which I did it in. 


 Here is my table and shelves with a little spooktacluar fun! Let's take a closer look, shall we??


 Most of my decorations are from Dollar Tree and the Dollar Spot at Target and other decorations were made by yours truly.


 I found these glittery skulls at Dollar Tree and you can find my BOO blocks {tutorial} here.
Total cost = $5


I already had the old book. I bought the pumpkin and witch hat from Target. 
Total cost = $3.50


All of what you see (besides the ribbon on the hurricane glasses) are from Dollar Tree. Yes, even the cute Witches Way sign!
 Total Cost = $8



These hurricane apothecary jars were made using 2 vases, 2 candle stick holders, and heavy duty glue (I used E3600). I then took ribbon and hot glued it around the tops of the jars. Add a few skulls and some rubber rats and you have creepy apothecary jars!
You can find a {tutorial} I did on Dollar Store apothecary jars here


The wooden skeleton was a gift, the 2 RIP tombstones are from Dollar Tree, and the pumpkin was from a thrift store. I painted the pumpkin white and then rubbed on silver stencil creme.
Total cost = $3


These 2 pumpkins are also from the thrift store and were painted the same way. The black crow (hard to see due to lighting) was from Dollar Tree.
Total cost = $3.25


The cute EEK sign was on clearance at Michael's and this skeleton was also a gift.
Total cost = $4


There you have it! Spooky Halloween decor on a dime!
Total cost = less than $30!!

 So what do you think?! Have you started decorating for Halloween yet? I just LOVE Halloween!

I will be linking up my Halloween Decor with the lovely linky parties listed in the "Linky Parties" tab at the top of my page!! Have a spooktacular evening!

wow! i am so in love with this post. i adore halloween and i spent today making a wreath that i saw in woman's day magazine. I thought it was going to be inexpensive but after I purchased all the supplies, I was shocked at the cost-and this is for 1 wreath! I love all that you were able to do with less than $30!

You really have some great frugal ideas! It's amazing what you can find, and I love when the Target has clearance on holiday stuff.

I would like to invite you to the Fantastic Frugal Fridays . It is the place to link up your frugal posts of all kinds.

I have the same sign hanging on my door, AND I made similar jars from the Dollar Tree. Great minds think alike!
