Make your own funny Handmade Halloween decorations with this inexpensive dollar store skeleton option! These shelf-sitting skeletons in gold are a little glam and a little spooky for your Halloween mantel.
Happy Saturday, Bekob! Today we have a really fun, low-cost, and straightforward (a DIYers go-to three words, right?) Handmade Halloween decoration option for you. I saw some clever shelf-sitting gold skeletons in a local store here but the sticker price was a little steep for me for Halloween decorating. Instead, I hit up the dollar store and the craft supply section at Walmart and made my own dollar store skeletons to sit on our straightforward Handmade wood mantel!

You just need 3 things to make your own shelf-sitter skeletons:

- hot glue

These dollar store skeletons were a fun Halloween decorating project and I’m so thrilled with how they turned out! I’ve always thought the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” statues were just kind of a silly fun thing to add character to a room, but for Halloween and in GOLD, I seriously love these guys.
They’re quirky and cute and it was a fun dollar store method to make some uniquely spooky Handmade Halloween decor for my mantel. Please share the video with your friends and pin this post to save it for later!
Prefer silver over gold? Our reader Heather took our golden skeletons option and ran with it:
Heather painted the dollar store skeletons silver then used black acrylic to create this metallic look. So cool! Thanks for sharing, Heather! (submitted 9/20/18)
Silver or gold skeletons are outside the traditional orange and black, but they also match nicely with the plywood pennant banner and the other elements that we kept from our neutral fall mantel. 
The Halloween spooky ghost watercolor printable is one of my favorites of the whole holiday set! Grab it here in the shop — the set features 10 seasonal prints, including the happy fall seen on our fall mantel.
