Snakes and Skulls

Yesterday I shared about the loot that came home with me last week from the Dollar Tree

And today I'm going to share a little Halloween decorating project that I did with the three plastic skulls and plastic snakes...

I was inspired by this photo from Pottery Barn:

The Ceramic Skulls are $54.99 each and those plastic Snakes are on sale for $12.99 for three... a little out of what I'm willing to pay...

My plastic skulls from the dollar store received a coat of White Spray paint to give the ceramic look and after mixing with a few other decorations that I already had on hand...

 

 
Not too bad for $7.00 (for skulls and snakes) portion!

Dollare Store LOVE

I'm a HUGE fan of the dollar store! I really feel like you can find one great items there if you have an eye for them... Last Friday I took a little trip to the local Dollar Tree and $53.00 later I walked out with this fall bounty!

Might not look like the most amazing stuff but I swear I have a vision/use for each item! Many things will get a DIY makeover and I cannot wait to share the outcomes with you all... In the meantime let me share the first project...

A custom Coupon holder!!!

See that plain of Green coupon holder in the photo above... Well inside it had slots for the basic grocery items... well that is not what I wanted to use it for... 

So with the help of some Washi Paper Tape (Also purchased during this Dollar Tree trip!) I covered the original categories

and I made my own labels!

I wanted for this to be a good place that I can put all random store coupons, gift cards, promo cards, and groupons. I plan to keep it in my car so that I am always ready for some savings while I shop!

And because I couldn't leave the outside plain... I added some tape to that as well.

Such an easy update! Cannot wait to share the other projects!
