I am so excited about this easy last minute DIY. This year we have a cute ghost theme going on at our house. I saw something similar to this candy basket ghost online and on TV. I wanted to do but my usual spin on it, and make it completely out of Dollar Tree items.
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.
Once the baskets are attached, cover with the white tablecloth.
I placed the bowl in the top basket. This size laundry basket will hold tons of candy.
I used the black felt to start the ghosts face.
I used some craft foam I had on hand to finish off the ghost's face.
I did not want to open our Halloween candy just yet, because once it is open we will be tempted to eat it. :) I filled with some Dollar Tree snacks to show how much it will actually hold. This would be a great to hold goody bags for a kids Halloween party in addition to trick or treat night.
I put a push light under the ghost to light him up on the porch. We are ready for Trick of Treat night. The weather prediction calls for rain, let's hope it cooperates.
Happy Halloween!
Super cute idea, and I'd definitely do that (if we had any trick-or-treaters). The last 17 years we lived in a development where the lots were about 2 acres (and we were at the very end), so I think the kids went somewhere else where they didn't have to work so hard for their candy (haha). Just recently moved to a Del Webb community (over 55), so no seniors out trick-or-treating either. ... I didn't see a post for Nov. 2, but my computer may be hiding it from me, so I'll check back later.
