For Simple, Spooky Cute Halloween Decor Grab A Dollar Tree Pizza Pan And DIY

A great way to get prepped for Halloween is by adorning your house in a variety of cute or spooky decorations, depending on your inclination. While plenty of stores have a range of decor items to choose from, they can sometimes be expensive, poorly made, or just not quite what you're looking for. But don't worry, because you can actually DIY your own adorable and affordable Halloween decor using a simple pizza pan from Dollar Tree!

This craft simply requires a $1.25 12-inch pizza pan, some hot glue or other adhesive, and a range of your preferred decorations to make an eye-catching and thematic Halloween sign. Depending on availability, various decor items for this craft should be available at your local Dollar Tree, such as patterned Halloween ribbon or these fun glittery clip-on bats. As most of this DIY involves painting and decorating, it is also a perfect activity to do with children. So, why not add a little spooky flair to your home this Halloween by trying out this fun, creative DIY that won't break the bank?

The first step in this craft is painting the pizza pan. You can leave it silver if you'd like a metallic look, or you can paint it to look like a fun setting or character for your own spooky and stylish front door decor. For example, you could use orange paint along with black eyes, a nose, and a mouth to create a fun jack-o-lantern face, or you could paint black and white stripes to give the impression of a Halloween mummy. Keep in mind that, depending on the paint color, you may need to use multiple coats on the pan in order to get a consistent look.

Once your paint is dry, it's time to decorate! You could hot glue on these Dollar Tree Haunted Cutouts and decorate around them with stickers, ribbon, and felt. Or, why not try a paper-mâché look using these fun Halloween napkins from Dollar Tree and some Mod Podge? If you're doing this craft with children, you could always stock up on a variety of decorations from Dollar Tree such as stickers, cobwebs, or pipe cleaners and allow them to create their own designs. After you've decorated your sign, you'll need to hang it. You can do this by hot gluing some twine to the back; creating a loop which can be hung over a nail on your front door or porch. Alternatively, you could use adhesive strips from Dollar Tree which will allow you to easily take the sign down when spooky season is over and replace it with a Dollar Tree Thanksgiving wreath.
