Halloween Poison Apple Dip

We have an incredibly cute and easy Halloween Food Craft and plus a bonus Halloween Craft for your October Halloween tablescape. Pair this sweet recipe with our salty and tasty Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies.

Halloween Poison Apple History

The first rotten apple we know of comes from the Bible. It was never rotten but rather an attractive piece of fruit. When Adam and Eve ate the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, they were instantly aware of good and evil. Immediately the apple built a bad reputation and it becomes a fruit often selected for the symbolism of evil.

We are introduced to the Poisoned Apple in the fairy tale, Snow White. When the Evil Queen gives Snow White a poison apple to kill her, it immediately causes her fall into an eternal sleep. In the Disney version, Snow White is saved by “true loves kiss” when a prince kisses her causing her to wake.

To carry on the tradition of this the poison apple, we put together a fun Halloween Food Craft; an incredibly easy poison apple craft and poison apple dip.

Cream Cheese & Caramel Apple Dip Ingredients

Luckily, the ingredients in this recipe contain no poison. The thought sure is fun, though, for the Holiday season. Rather this recipe is quite sweet and so good with sliced apples or graham crackers.

Guys, I don’t have much for you. This poison apple craft is incredibly easy. You could look at the picture and instantly create the craft.

First, get two apples of similar shape and sizes. Cut each apple in half and fit them together.

Second, grab colored tables. We used blue staples but you could also use other colored staples, traditional silver staples or gold staples. Separate individual staples.

With your apple lined up, you will press individual staples until your green and red apple holding them two halves together and forming one apple. Continue this process up the seam of the apple.

Once your apple holds nicely together, you are done.

Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath

September 3, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Halloween, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media 3 Comments

Learn how to make a Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath for under $10. Black and Purple Mesh Ribbon, Halloween Ornaments and a wreath form for this budget-friendly outdoor Halloween craft.

Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath

You want to know something funny? I recall going to Jo-Ann Fabrics after one Halloween and they practically gave me the wreath on display. I had to pay for it, but I recall it feeling like a steal. The wreath was only a wreath form with orange mesh ribbon and I treat the wreath like a precious baby since I have it. Unfortunately, I must not treat my babies well because the mesh ribbon is looking awful and I have wanted to replace it for the longest time.

Realizing I could replace my beloved Halloween wreath for under $10 makes me wonder why I did not do this ages ago! I am so grateful how Dollar Tree Crafts have become the coolest thing to do. I think The Dollar Store realizing how much we appreciate their materials, too, because they are really stepping up their decor!

Don’t forget our other Halloween Dollar Tree Craft- How to Make a Sugar Skull.

Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath Supplies:

All Halloween Wreath supplies are found at The Dollar Tree except for our Hot Glue Gun.

Metal Wreath Form (Greenery/Gardening Aisle)
Black and Purple Mesh Ribbon (Seasonal Area)
Pipe Cleaners (Craft Aisle)
Halloween Decor Items of your choosing (Seasonal Area)
Hot Glue Gun

Halloween Wreath Tips:

We picked up a Dollar Tree wreath form. You can use this wreath over and over each year or take it apart at the end of Halloween and use for other seasons.

Personalize this wreath to your style and taste. Your your own Dollar Tree Halloween Decor. The purpose is not for me to show you how to perfectly make mine but for me to show you how to make your own. Style it to your liking.

I love that you can pick up Dollar Store Craft Pipe Cleaners for a $1. Such a frugal craft and the rest can be used for the kids craft area.

Dollar Tree Halloween Wreath Directions:

First, start by cutting your pipe cleaners into small sections, these will be used as ties to secure your ribbon to the wreath form. I personally cut my pipe cleaners into 3 pieces each.

Next, tie pipe cleaners sections all around the perimeter of your wreath, you will want to do this on the outer ring and also the second from the middle as well – I like to do them about 3-4 inches apart.

Now you’ll take one of your ribbon colors, you can choose which you’d like to do on each section. I started with purple on the outer ring. You’ll want to secure the end of your ribbon using one of the pipe cleaners ties you’ve already had tied on the wreath.

Once you’ve secured your end of the ribbon roll, you’ll want to create bunches to give that full bubbly appearance and you’ll want to secure a section every 3-4 inches where you have placed the pipe cleaners ties.

Repeat these steps all the way around the outer ring as well as the inner ring until you have a full wreath without decor.

Now comes the fun part, decorating! You can choose to get the round ornaments and pumpkins like I did to fill in the very inner ring, or you can find whatever Halloween decorations fit your aesthetic best, the dollar tree has TONS to choose from! You’ll just want to use a hot glue gun to secure these items to your wreath and Voila!

You’re finished. I love how simple and easy, yet adorable this wreath is! Not to mention I was able to purchase all the supplies for around $10, that’s a steal if you compare the cost of wreaths online!

Enjoy.

Halloween Dollar Tree Craft | How to Make a Sugar Skull

August 26, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Halloween, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media 2 Comments

Celebrating the Day of the Dead or Halloween? We have a frugal-friendly Dollar Tree Craft. Learn the steps of How to Make a Sugar Skull with affordable supplies.

How to Make a Sugar Skull

We incorporated the traditional Latin-American Day of the Day into some of our Homemade Halloween Decor. This Halloween craft uses the basic of supplies and you might get away with creating this craft for only $1 if you have some of these supplies on hand!

What is Day of the Day?

The Day of the Dead “Día de los Muertos” is a three day festival commemorating friends and family who have passed away. It is often a misunderstood holiday as some attribute it to the American holiday called Halloween. This Latin American Holiday began with the Aztec Harvest at the end of summer. This multi-day festival is a time to honor loved ones who had gone before and not to recognize ghosts, goblins, witches or other scary mythological creatures.

The day of the dead celebration takes place October 31 to November 2. Children who have died are represented by skulls and are celebrated on November 1. Larger sugar skulls represent adults, whose celebration takes place on November 2. These dates coincide with the Western Christian holiday All Saints Eve and All Souls’ Day. The Mexican holiday also overlaps with the better known holiday, Halloween on October 31.

What is a Sugar Skull?

A calavera (English translation for skull is a representation of a human head. The term is most often used for edible or decorative skulls made from either sugar or clay. In celebrate of Día de los Muertos, calaveras were crafted. Sugar skulls represent a departed soul, often with the souls name written on the forehead. This too can be replaced with hearts, perhaps a number of hearts to represent the number of souls being honored. Sugar skulls are often adorned with colorful folk artwork. These adornments include hearts, flowers, paisley patterns, and dots.

Halloween Dollar Tree Craft Supplies

For this Halloween craft, we used a plastic skull from The Dollar Tree. It was only $1 (wink!) I also used chalkboard paint I had on hand and chalkboard markers. Hairspray will help keep the chalkboard markers in place once your craft is complete.

Sugar Skull Craft Supplies:

1 Plastic Skull (I got mine from the Dollar Store)
Black Chalkboard Paint
Chalkboard Fluorescent Markers
Optional: Aerosol Hairspray

Sugar Skull Craft Tools:

Paintbrush
Wax Paper (to protect your table)

Sugar Skull Craft Tips

You can purchase Dollar Tree Skeletons and skulls online. Another option is to check out Michael Crafts Skulls and Halloween Decor.

Another craft option is to use chalkboard makers but to go over that with glow in the dark puffy paint. That will really pop with a black light and a makes fun glow in the dark party decor.

When picking up your Dollar Tree supplies, don’t forget our other Halloween Dollar Store Craft- How to Make a Halloween Wreath Under $10.

How to Make a Sugar Skull

Learning how to make a sugar skull is not that much of a challenge. I used the internet to get inspired including Pinterest and Etsy. Etsy has some cute sugar skull patterns. When creating your pattern, think hearts, circles (dots), flowers and paisley patterns. Always start with your larger patterns.

To get started:

First, paint the plastic skull with the black chalkboard paint. Use the wax paper underneath the skull to protect your table.

Allow paint to dry fully. I would suggest at least a day.

Once dry, begin drawing your designs on the skull with the chalkboard marker of your choice.

To make a faux sugar skull like mine, begin with the eyes. I drew flowers in the sockets.

Next, I moved to the forehead where I drew a flower using hearts.

I outlined the nose with an upside down heart shape. I added birds kissing on the chin.

Finish with larger designs before adding your details. Added details include swirls and dots.

Allow chalkboard marker to dry completely before touching it.

Lastly, if desired, seal the chalkboard marker in place by spraying evenly with hairspray about 6-inches from the skull surface.

Optional: Another idea is to use chalkboard makers but to go over that with glow in the dark puffy paint. That will really pop with a black light.

Quick & Easy Church Halloween Costumes. Ideas for trunk or treat, Sunday school parites, bible study, Awana and more!

Quick & Easy Church Halloween Costumes

When I had one child, I think I was ready for Halloween around August. Even if I did not have my child’s costume (I always did), I knew what my child was going to dress up as. So things have changed. Preparing ahead isn’t a thing anymore ( I say that, preparing this post in May), in fact I am lucky to get it all done last minute. I have learned to perfect the last minute.

If you are last minute like me, we put together some quick and easy Halloween Costumes for Church. These are not necessarily biblical Joseph and Mary costumes, but they are fun costumes (some quite funny/punny) that are appropriate for church. The bible costume we did for Awana last year, was all done within a few minutes before we had to leave. Some of these costumes, you might want to do a few days ahead as paint or dyeing could be involved, others can be done in just a few short minutes!

Happy candy collecting… Happy Halloween!

We share with you earlier in our 31+ Family Halloween Costume Ideas, our Awana costume – the Bible, Old Testament and New Testament.

Also see this year’s Awana costume, I was the Burning Bush (what Moses saw in Exodus.)

One of my girls was the Red Sea (a red C – get it.) We planned for her to wear red but the clothes were too small, so some confused it with the Black Sea.

Another daughter, was a Blessing in Disguise! Get it?
