Flickr user and DSC reader icepinkstars posted this great Halloween frame revamp in the Dollar Store Crafts pool, along with all the steps to make it, and agreed to share the tutorial here at DSC! You can use any Halloween embellishments for this project. Of course, you can also adapt the project for any holiday or event, too! Thanks for sharing, Allie!

Project Estimate:

  • Frame, $1
  • Halloween ribbon, $1
  • Skeleton hand (10 for $1), $.10
  • Hot glue, on hand

Total: $2.10

To Make:

Measure ribbon and cut to fit around frame sides.

Cut all ribbon pieces the correct length, and then glue.

Glue skeleton hand to frame! Paint nails, if desired.

Readers, feel free to add your photos to our Dollar Store Crafts pool!

    We JUST bought those skeleton hands last night! My husband wanted them and I said ‘What are we gonna do with those?’ He said ‘I don’t know, but they’re cool!’ So I let him get them, and then I see this post, LOL.

    Looks fab! I love the painted nails on the skeleton hand.

    Are the hands from the .99 store? I am looking for them everywhere and can’t find them. I want to make hair clips with skeleton hands but no dice.

    I think they’re from Dollar Tree.

    Heather’s right, you can find a pack of the skelly hands at the Dollar Tree! They’re in the section of Halloween decor. I checked my local store yesterday and only a few packs were left :)

    The hands would work great for a hair clip or even pinned on a sweater. They also had some fake rats, flies, cockroaches, etc if you’re into the gorey Halloween crafts! ;)

    That’s where I’ve been going wrong! I’ve never seen a Dollar Tree before but a quick search shows a few in Long Beach. Thanks!

    Just a quick follow up, at my second Dollar Tree, 20 miles and one specialty cupcake store (vanilla with cream cheese frosting) away, I was able to procure two packs!
    Thanks so much, ladies!
