Halloween: Pretzel Sticks


Wilton chocolate melts, a little bit of coconut oil to thin it. Melt it in the microwave, dip the sticks in, decorate with sprinkles!

Halloween: Creepy Specimen Jars



This one's another Dollar Store or thrift shop project. Buy creepy glassware, stick grow animals into them, and wait!









Halloween: Skeleton Windchime



Ingredients:

1 set of plastic skeleton parts (I got mine at Michael's.)
1 wooden craft disc (also Michael's).
1 package of jewelry chain
1 length of normal chain, rope, or anything that can hold a windchime
Black spray paint
Floral wire

Procedure:

Using a tiny drill bit, drill holes into each skeleton body part. Cut off enough wire for the long central dangling bits, then cut the remaining wire into six equal pieces (or however many skeleton bits you want around the edge). Attach the skeleton parts to the chains with floral wire through the holes that you drilled.

Up top, drill six tiny holes (or however many you're using) around the edges of the wooden disc, and one tiny hole in the middle. Also drill any holes that you'll need to attach the chain, rope, or whatever else you're using to hang the wind chime. Spray paint the wooden disc black.

Using tiny nails, attach each chain to the wind chime using the tiny holes that you drilled. (I had to use glue to get them to stay firmly attached.)

Halloween: Creepy Skull Candle

Dollar store's finest! $1 skull plus $1 candle plus cheap LED tea light from Amazon = crept wizard accessory. Drip wax over the skull & LED candle until both look cool, then separate them so you can reach the LED switch. 5 minutes of effort, and it looks cool!
