Glow in the dark

 

Amazon has a deal for this set of Glow in the Dark Planets & Stars for just $1.67 shipped!  This set can be hung from the ceiling or on the wall.  I hate night-lights, and  I am constantly worry they will over heat and catch fire. Plus, they keep my little ones awake, sneaking toys in beds.  That is just one reason why I am loving this deal.  What better way to dimly light a a room.  This Glow in the Dark Planets & Stars  set would keep them tucked in while they daze off to dreamland!

Glow in the Dark Planets & Stars are rarely discounted below $8 at the stores.  I last grabbed a set for $7.99 at large discount store and I thought that was  a deal! At this price I personally would purchase more than one!

Head to Amazon and grab a few sets for your household!

Attention Ghostbusters… This Halloween Season, wouldn’t you love to trap your very own ghost in a bottle? With this simple and inexpensive DIY (Do It Yourself) project, you can!

If you have a recycling bin nearby, you have all of the makings for this fun and frugal DIY Ghost in a Bottle. Kids will love creating their very own ghost and trapping him in a bottle where they can make him do twists and turns all over the place. Take a look below at how to make your very own Ghost in Bottle, the perfect craft for the upcoming Halloween season!

DIY Halloween Ghost in a Bottle

Supplies Needed:

  • 1 clear 2 liter soda bottle
  • Orange food coloring (or yellow and red to mix)
  • 1 plastic shopping bag
  • 1 rubber band
  • Scissors
  • Marker

DIY-Halloween-Bottle-Ghost-Steps-frugal-coupon-living

Directions:

1. First, you want to remove all of the label from your 2 liter soda bottle. Rinse it well.
2. Fill the bottle with water and add a few drops of orange food coloring. Or, you can add a drop or two of yellow and red to mix your own. Place the lid back on and shake so your color mixes well.
3. Turn your shopping bag over and cut off the end, about 3 inches worth. The “end” of the bag is the very bottom where your items would rest in the bag. When you cut off the end, you are basically creating a smaller bag.
4. Hold the new mini bag under the faucet and put a few drops of water in it. This will create the head. You don’t want to add so much that your head won’t fit in the bottle, so only add a small amount. The water will also act as a weight, allowing the ghost to fly around the bottle. So take your time and make sure you do this step just right.
5. Twist the bag to create the head and place a rubber band on the neck to secure it.
6. You can now use your marker and create a face! A few dots is all you need.
7. Using your scissors shred the bottom of the ghost to make it look nice and spooky.
8. Press the ghost head first into the bottle. Replace the lid and give it a good shake.

That’s it! Your ghost will whirl and twirl all over the bottle in a spooky fashion your kids will love. The more they shake it, the more it will fly. Give this Ghost in a Bottle craft a try and see how fun and easy it can be trap a ghost while using items you already have around your home.

Dollar Tree Fall Decor – Decorate with Autumn Candles on a Frugal Budget

Dollar Tree Fall Decor

I love when it is finally far enough into the fall season that I can begin to bring out the pumpkins, and leaf décor without looking like a crazy person.  I really love everything about fall; pumpkin flavored everything, autumn decorations, the crispness that comes to the air, and cozy pretty sweaters.  Alas, I live in Florida so I only get a touch of those last two, poor me.  But I can bring the beautiful look of fall right indoors, or even onto my front porch.  Also, I  am cheap frugal so I love  doing it on a budget, I took a drive down to my local Dollar Tree for a little inspiration and was able to come up with a few pretty, inexpensive and quick fall crafts. They have a lot of plain candle holders that make a perfect blank canvas to build upon.

So in my buggy I tossed a bag of raffia, 4 candle holders, 4 candles , a small bag of coffee beans, a roll of fall ribbon, 2 bags of large silk fall leaves,  bag of popcorn, and a few bags of beans ( I had most of them already in my pantry)  I spent  $15 on my 4 candle holder projects, with the exception of the candles, and candle holders all items can be used on multiple projects, so if I use my remaining supplies they each really only cost a couple dollars each.   And if you have any of the items on hand you can lower your total even more. Look at you being thrifty!

Grab your glue gun and let’s get this crafty party started!

Dollar-tree-fall-decor-leaf-candle-frugal-coupon-living

Fall Leaf Candle Holder

Take 4 of the large leaves, cut off the stem right at the leaf edge. Turn your candle holder upside down, apply a thin bead of hot glue to the bottom rim about ¼” from the edge.  Press each of your leaves into the glue, overlapping them.  Turn your candle holder over run a thin line of hot glue up each leaf where it branches, press into glass, you will need to overlap leaves a bit again.  Wrap candle holder in 2 lengths of raffia 2 or 3 times, tuck ends under and place a dab of hot glue to hold them down- use a pencil or something to press  down while it dries( not your fingers, trust me)

Coffee Bean Candle Holder

Fill jar about 1/3 of the way full with coffee beans. Place your candle on top of the beans, tap down gently, centering candle. Fill between candle and jar with more beans, up to the rim of glass.  Wrap candle jar with 2-3 pieces of rafia, tuck and in and secure with a dab of hot glue. Alternatively you can tie your rafia ends into a bow, I just liked the clean, simplicity of the raffia this way- I put a row of 3 of these down the center of my table as my centerpiece.

Harvest Corn Candle Holder

Measure your wide wired ribbon by wrapping it around the jar and overlapping  about 1”, cut. Draw a thin line of glue down one end of the ribbon, press onto the back center of glass jar. Wrap ribbon around fold the end under about ½” and run a line of glue down the end, press into other side of ribbon to overlap. Like the coffee beans, fill jar 1/3 of the way full with unpopped corn kernels Place your candle, centered  on top of the corn, fill the sides between candle and jar up to the rim with corn kernels.  Place a sticker or I used a chipboard letter for our family initial, they don’t stick well to fabric so use a couple tiny dots of hot glue on the back to affix firmly. You could do Halloween  themes and place Halloween stickers like witch heads and bats on top.

Autumn Layered Bean Candle Holder

This is such a simple craft but it makes a big impact in pretty fall colors, lending your table or shelf some beautiful textures. I used a taller candle holder I purchased at Dollar Tree to create a little more drama. Simply layer dry beans in 2” layers, using at least 4-5 various colors and textures for variety.  I used; black beans, kidney beans, green split peas, yellow spit pits, northern beans, and pinto’s.  Even 2 colors alternating would be a pretty decoration. Choose colors from your home décor, use year round.

Pin Dollar Tree Fall Decor to Pinterest for future use! Be sure to follow Frugal Coupon Living (FCLAsh) on Pinterest.
