Dollar Tree Skull Witch Decor

I prefer cute over creepy for my Fall and Halloween crafts and decor, but this Dollar Tree Skull Witch is actually both….it’s creepy cute! Oh and it’s budget friendly too. DIY Halloween decor for the win!

Ya gotta love a good ole’ Dollar Tree DIY, and this is one for the books!

It’s creepy, it’s cute, it’s neutral, and it’s gold. OH, and there’s Leopard print too!

What’s not to love?

I became obsessed with the neutral, gold, and leopard print theme last year, and I think I will stick with it this year as well.

This Dollar Tree Skull Witch looked just perfect on my Fall-O-Ween bookcase, with all my other gold and leopard print fall decor.

This Fall-O-Ween Skull with Witch Hat uses ALMOST all Dollar Tree supplies, except for the Tulle and fabric, which is from Walmart. Budget crafting for the win.

I started off by taking all the tacky tinsel off of this Dollar Tree witch hat. It’s super easy to get off, just unravel it and throw it right into the trash because who wants to use that stuff!

Then I gave my Dollar Tree plastic skull a good two coats of white chalk paint.

Next I took a a paint brush and Antique Gold Rub n’ Buff, and lined the cracks in the skull with gold paint.

I also very gently rubbed some Rub n’ Buff over some of the bumps and grooves on the skull.

And of course I had to give him a gold tooth!

The bottom right tooth of the skull is painted gold.

For his eyes, I covered the sockets with Mod Podge and then sprinkled copper gold glitter all inside, and then dumped off the excess glitter.

The skulls eyes are covered with copper gold glitter.

I painted the glass candlestick with a coat of white chalk paint first, and then a couple coats of metallic gold.

My fave part is the gold tulle “neck collar” around the top of the candlestick. I just took a 4″ wide strip of the tulle and kind of bunched it up, and glued it around the rim of the candlestick.

Then, hot glue the skull to the top of the candlestick.

The top of the candlestick has a gold tulle "neck collar".

For the witches hat, I cut several strips of coordinating fabric about 3″ wide and 10 inches long. Then wrapped it around the hat in a diagonal fashion and hot glued it in place.

I wrapped a leopard print strip around the base of the hat, and then stuck a feather inside.

The dollar tree witch has with the tinsel ripped off and replaced with neutral and leopard print fabric strips.

I finished the hat off by gluing a rusty bell to the top.

And there ya have it! A creepy cute Dollar Tree Skull Witch in all his glory. Or all HER glory? I don’t know, I’m thinking its more of a HE witch, but would that be a warlock? And I digress….LOL!

I absolutely love love LOVE how this turned out. It will look so fabulous with all of the other neutral, gold, and leopard print crafts we’ve been making for my Fall-O-Ween bookcase.
