One thing I have learned about holiday decorations to use in Halloween crafts at Dollar Tree is that they go fast. But there is also something else I have learned about holiday decor: that you can make it out of almost anything! Mollie’s Mom made this adorable Halloween Craft — a Jack-o-lantern totem pole out of things that you can find year-round, using items like burner covers and serving platters to create an array of silly pumpkin faces. Turn this into a family project by having each family member paint their own pumpkin face! [how to make a pumpkin totem pole]
Project estimate:
- Burner covers, plates, or platters, on hand or $3 and up
- Bucket, on hand or $1
- Paint, on hand or $1 and up
- Dowel or post, on hand or $1
- Quick-set cement, about $5 and up
- Easter grass, on hand or $1
- Ribbon, on hand or $1
Total: about $5 and up
