Halloween Village by Claudine Hellmuth: $1

I loved the Holiday Village Claudine made last year, and she’s updated the idea for Halloween. Love the gothic touch of using sheet music as the base for the houses. Cute!

Halloween Topiary Makeover by Let It Shine: $4 and up

This is a brilliant makeover of a thrift store topiary tree by Alyshia at Let It Shine. She spray painted the tree, the greenery that was included with it, and added dollar store spiders and webs (also spray painted). Completely smart redo! Wonder what she’ll do with it for Christmas??
