halloween decorating ideas for the house

hey remodelaholics! welcome back toour channel! today we are gonna try a halloween decor project! so there is thisrestaurant that we totally love that's local, its called kneaders, here in utah, and shout out to kneaders! anyway they have food, but they also sell really cutedecor! while i was there, they had this awesome, hear no evil, see no evil,speak no evil - skeleton set! it was so cute! they're $10 bucks a piece30 bucks total. it's not killer, but for halloween decor, i'm not sure i need tospend that much money on it! so today, along with the diy mommy we are doing a halloween, dollar store, diy and decor project diy project! here's what i did. iwent and bought these little skeletons!

they were a dollar! we are going to createa gold see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil skeleton set for halloween. that can sit on your mantle, or can sit on a littletable - whatever you have! it should be fun, it's gonna be alittle more involved than just buying the set at the other store, butultimately there will be three little skeletons, so that's three dollars. then i spent about $3.47 for spray paint. which will be plenty for anotherfew projects. this was .50 cents and you may have some black craftpaint (optional) and then i got some glitter as well. i got some glitter because the skeletons at kneaders had a

little bit of gold leaf that was also applied onto the skeletons. it looked really cute so i am gonnatry to accomplish that with glitter! so, let's get started! as far as tools go,i have a glue gun and a little box cutter. to begin with they have this little loop atthe top, and i'm gonna cut that off. okay, we need to cut off this little guy atthe top! and i just dented his brain in - don't dent his brain! there we go these little skeletons will be sitting with their legs dangling, if you'llnotice they don't bend very well. in fact - whoops! i'm going to remove them andactually hot glue them back in place.

so the little thing here, will justkind of be like a kneecap. then their arms are the same way. this is as far as it bends, so i might have to pull this one off. then i canlike cover the mouth of it, or the ears, or the eyes. additionally, i am goingto just barely cut into one side of the hand so that it will bend. i willprobably fill that in with a little bit of hot glue. right now, i'm going todisassemble my skeletons -a little bit. which is a little more morbid than my channelusually is! so tell me, what are your favorite products to buy at the dollarstore? because it's worth buying certain things but noteverything! today i saw some really cool boxes

for organizing there. okay so you take this little spot right there- i'm gonna fill up the backside of it with hot glue, and then i'm gonna stick this on it like that. letit start to dry while holding it still. is there something you hate more than hot gluegun strings? i am not sure there is something i hate more than that! now we are going to... i was trying to sit these guys up on the edge of thetable, and they don't have a lot of strength! so i'm going to load up somehot glue gun to their hip sockets, to solidify that joint. and then right on theirbottom to weigh them down a little bit. then i'm gonna stick them over theside of the table on this silicon mat to dry.

there's a lot of waiting involvedin this project! so now we have to decide which one is going to be see no evil, hearno evil or speak no evil. and the speak and the see no evil, are gonna be a loteasier than the hear no evil, because we have to turn the arm a lot more. so, i'm goingto go ahead and start by putting some glue on the hand of the skeleton to putover his mouth. then, i've got a glue, where it meets over here. youcan always add more glue after it sets and resecure it. i'm gonnaput some glue on this shoulder socket to keep it in place just around that! but it's turning out quite cute! thisis the speak no evil no skeleton guy.

i might secure his feet so that they hangproperly and don't fall over! there is the speak no evil guy! seriously, i can't tell you enough how nice it is to have a low-temperature glue gun i just got mine at walmart. you can get them on amazon i'll leave a linkdown below in the description box. if you want to check one out! this is basicallythe same setup as the speak no evil, but instead of putting it on his littlemouth, we are going cover his eyes! i will have to secure this joint, where the shoulder is too loose! okay now i'mgoing to just secure this hand to the eyes.

i might do it slightly higher thanthe eyes, like on the forehead. because, i don't want it to look likehe's covering his mouth or something different. so these hands are above his eyes, but when you look at it straight onit looks like he's covering his eyes! that works for that one, i'm going to setit aside, let it keep drying. now, we have the hard one and that is the "hearno evil". this one i feel like we need to connect the joint of the elbowfirst- because it's a little trickier! a skeleton doesn't actually have ears.... so he's covering his ears! now wehave all three skeletons all set up and

i need to spray-paint them. i needto go get a box, i'm gonna take it outside stick them in a box and spraythem down. while the paint is wet, just sprinkle it with the glitter so it willkind dry into the paint. also, i spray painted one that i didn't doanything to, because truthfully if you don't have time to make the hear no evil,speak no evil -little guy, you could just spray-paint it gold, and it looks thatmuch cooler! alright, there it is on the mantel! we added a couple of the little skeletons to the fall mantel. look how cute they are gold!! are they not adorable? tiger do you remember your line? meow...

are you recording this? so, we are all done making our "hear no evil", "see no evil", "speak no evil", skeletons! i really love the gold! i think it justelevates the design of it a little bit more. please make sure you check out the diymommy's playlist for this dollar store halloween diy and decor challenge! again, the whole project this was about six dollars! we didn't end up using the black paintbecause i liked it solid gold and the glitter is optional (i kind of likedit without the glitter stuff)! please be sure to subscribe! and check out the playlist, also i have an awesome dollar tree christmas decoratingtutorial where you can decorate a whole
