One of my favorite places to go when Halloween rolls around is Dollar Tree. There are two reasons for this:

1. They have some really cool stuff.
2. I’m really cheap.

You can really find some great items here, so let’s take a look at what they have.

They have a good variety for their relatively small selection. Costume pieces, party supplies, props, general decor – they’ve got it all. They even have skeleton animals now (i.e, rats, birds, bats, & spiders). And everything is only $1!

That’s both good and dangerous. I can’t stop myself from buying $1 Halloween supplies. I lack that kind of will power.

Anyway, I can always count on them to have some really cool things that will fit in with my Halloween style. Luckily, at only $1, even things that might not fit or might look a little too cheap can be modified with little investment. For example, see my post about the different ways to use a Dollar Tree skull.

And speaking of the skulls, let’s get into my favorite finds.

1. Plastic Eyeballs: I love items that I know I can use in other places. Plastic eyes are great for large props. For instance, I’m thinking of adding them inside some of the masks I use for my larger props. You could make easy glowing eyes with a string of lights and a craft knife, or you could use them as filler for a vase. Lots of options here.
2. Hanging Witch: They haven’t had much in the way of hanging props in previous years, so I was happy to see this chick on their wall. She’s pretty bland right now, but with a little paint and some added creepy cloth (not pictured, but Dollar Tree also has multiple colors to choose from), she’ll look pretty great.
3. Chains: Who couldn’t use more chains in their Halloween display? Right. No one.
4. Skulls: Back to the skulls. I always pick a few of these up every year because they can be used in so many ways for so many props. Love these things.
5. Skeleton Garland: This can be used to make some really cool centerpieces or maybe to decorate a mantel. You could take them apart and make miniature displays.
6. Skeleton Glasses: These are, of course, plastic, but if you’re throwing a Halloween party, these would come in handy and look really cool.
7. Skeleton Tongs: I love these guys. They are actually really good quality. They’re plastic, but they’re quite sturdy. You can use them as intended or even stick them out of the ground for some grave decorations.

So if you couldn’t tell already, I highly recommend Dollar Tree. I’m going to be posting later about some of my item makeovers, so check back soon!
