HALLOWEEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna start making stuff.

I will make Halloween Haunted Houses.

Here are some links for the projects i want to make. i have bought the 2 different SMALL toy doll houses to make the Haunted Mansion shown in the videos. You can find them at the DOLLAR TREE Stores.


*** I like this project but I won't use the bottle brushes. I'm going to find Branches / twigs from trees that resemble a SCARY Tree. You make have those in your yard. Just snip them off at your desired length and spray paint them.
I painted mine BLACK and i'm going to use craft paint (browns) to highlight them and make them look like trees.


*** look around the craft store for miniature stuff you can use. Sometimes old buttons will make a great haunted house accessory.

LARGE HAUNTED HOUSE. Shop thrift stores, garage sales and goodwill FOR TOY HOUSES FOR LITTLE GIRLS.

here is a video i really like ...... We turned a dollhouse into a creepy haunted mansion!


and FINALLY..... SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST !!! How To Create A Spooky Halloween Village Set ---- Learn how to easily transform a forgotten Christmas village into a spooky Halloween village set with some spray paint and metallic paints.

AN AWESOME website. Totally Recycling Crafter! **** I have an old Christmas village that I will transform into a HAUNTED HALLOWEEN TOWN complete with "fairy lights" .... https://michellejdesigns.com/spooky-halloween-village-set/?fbclid=IwAR0YgIsB-LHbmsFGKRUGYoaUyzy1mO73yDpTEwjwzvuRyWTAfkYdcafa3F8


Have fun and post pictures of your completed project or pictures of cool Halloween stuff.

In the 2nd video I am amazed that she took that necklace that was made with bones and skulls for beads and took it apart and used the bones to make the railing around the roof!! And used the skulls as feet and door decor

That is some creative thinking. Also she used the coffee table as the balcony!! Also that she put the little people on the roof!!

Wow. Just such detail.

Oh, and the third video was another level with his skills and power tools!!

Thanks for posting this. Very fun.

great accessories and the tiny girls come in the doll house kit.
I already have all the stuff i need spray painted black. All i have to do is assemble them to make the mansion.
I will make ONE one story house and ONE two story house. I will put both in a large spray painted AVON box top that will house both houses.
Maybe make a house out of cardboard for a Tiny neighborhood.
I found great looking twigs that can be glued together to be trees.

It will be soooooooooo much fun making my halloween town. I will post pictures when i am finished.
