Last Minute Halloween Ghost Candy Basket
].
I decided to use two white laundry baskets, a white circle plastic tablecloth, black felt, and a clear plastic bowl from the party section. You can use zip ties or tape to connect the baskets with their bottoms together.

It's Party Time! Lets Dare to Share!
One of the things I made this year are tiered baskets that would be great for a Halloween party. They would hold a lot of candy and other goodies. They are relatively easy to make, and all the of the supplies can be found at Dollar Tree.
Another Halloween DIY I made are these spooky skeleton hands that look like they are coming through the wall to Trick or Treat. This DIY is also easy and inexpensive to make. There are a few more DIYs that will be posted in the upcoming week.

Spooky Skeleton Hands
I recently saw on a reel or a tiktok, a diy where spooky hands were coming out of a wall, and holding a candle. I decided to try make something similar, but put my own spin on it.

I only needed a few items to make these spooky hands. I used 2 skeleton hands from the Dollar Tree, 2 small white canvases also from the Dollar Tree, left over white fabric from my light up ghost diy, and some duct tape. The mini pumpkins are from Walmart for 99 cents each.
I cut a small slit in the canvas and placed the bottom of the skeleton hand through it. I secured it in place with a lot of hot glue, and duct tape. I taped both the front and the back to make sure the hand would stay in place.
I hung the canvas on the wall with Velcro photo hangers also from the Dollar Tree.
Once on the wall, I wrapped the canvas with the white fabric so it looked like the hand was coming out of a sleeve. Since I like fun and quirky diys more than scary ones, I added the small pumpkin so it looked like the hand was trick or treating.
I placed the second one next to the first one, and added another pumpkin. I LOVE how this diy turned out. Not only was it easy to make, it was also very inexpensive.

Halloween Party Tiered Basket Display
The first type of tiered basket I made with the one that took three plastic spider web baskets, and two sets of skeleton tongs. I have to admit while I love the look with the skeleton arms, this way is not that easy to put together. Place one of the arms through the two bottom basket tiers and attach with either hot glue or a zip tie. Repeat with the other three arms, trying to get them as straight as you can. The top basket will be placed onto the fingers.
We used the purple basket pictured above at a current market, and it worked great to hold my sugar cookies. I learned the hard way though, not to leave them in the car on a really hot day. I had brought them to our September market, and had to leave them in the car while I was at work, because the market was right after I got off work. It was over 90 degrees that day. When I got to the market both baskets fell apart because it got so hot in my car that it melted all of the hot glue. I had to remake them for the October market.
Recently I heard the skeleton goblets made great tray dividers as well. I decided to try it, and not only is it easier, but the tray is a bit sturdier. I made a few of these to use for Halloween and for next year's markets.
Both types of basket trays would be great for a Halloween party, it will just depend on the look you prefer.

We also had some light up ghosts and ghost portraits on hand. My favorite is the ghost family portrait in the middle. I have decided to keep it. I will have a better picture of it soon. I have not unpacked my market items yet, but when I do I will be adding it to my decor.

Lets's Dare to Share!
We recently decided to get passes to Kings Island that are good through next year. We don't live real far from the park, and the passes include the Halloween Haunts and Christmas lights. Tonight we decided to go to the Halloween Haunt. :) We did not have enough time to see everything, so we will be going back again in the next few weeks.
Another fun thing I did this week was get the Alien onesie from Aldi. It is super comfortable, and cute as well. I surprised D the other day when he got home from work and saw me looking like this. LOL! I plan on using for a few more things in the coming weeks. The best part is it is only $14.99.
As promised I finally got my Halloween ghost dog DIY posted. They have been sitting on our front porch the last week, and always make me smile when I get home. This weekend I am having a project day, and will be finishing several more DIYs.

I am in the process of adding a new post, but the storm affected that too. I need add a couple of last minute touches, but I will be posting how I made my ghost dogs with Dollar Tree items very soon. I also still need to add the skeleton hand tiered trays this week as well.
