Dollar Tree Halloween DIYs (quick and easy) - For The Love Of Decorating

This fall I have been making some new Halloween crafts.(My old ones are cute, but I wanted to mix things up!) Instead of running to Home Goods or Hobby Lobby, I decided to see what I could come up with using only Dollar Tree items.

Dollar Tree Halloween Village

The first item I made was this adorable Dollar Tree Halloween Village.

You will need the following supplies to be able to create this village yourself.

3-5 of these wooden houses from Dollar Tree.

3-4 packages of Halloween words

Long Dollar Tree sign or a scrap piece of wood.
Black paint
Orange paint
White paint
Hot Glue Gun

Directions for Halloween Village

Paint each of your houses with black paint. (I left mine a little streaky to make it look old and weathered.)
Paint your word signs as desired with orange or purple paint.
Once both pieces are dry, hot glue the words to the front of the houses.
Paint scrap wood or Dollar Tree Sign Black.
Arrange houses on board as desired and glue down. If you want to have some on an angle like mine, you can use wood scraps to elevate and tilt them.
Leave it as is, or decorate it with wooden stickers.

Dollar Tree Halloween Gingerbread House

I love all things Gingerbread, and gingerbread houses are among my very favorite. I have seen some really amazing gingerbread houses made out of Dollar Tree doll houses and I thought, why not make one for Halloween?

This cutie is made by using 2 stories of the doll house and one roof. I decorated it using buttons I had from Joann Fabrics as well some resin black and white candy canes, also from Joann.

This piece can be made to reflect your personal taste. I like cute Halloween decorations instead of scary, but you can make yours as creepy as you want.
