spooky season is finally here i haven't picked out a costume quite yet not sure what i'll be
this year hey but i have started decorating for one my spooky tree i still need to decorate it
i'll get to that one one of these days or maybe i won't
and two there's a spider up there there's also a handful roaming our apartment
occasionally my girlfriend will freak out over one but she doesn't understand tis the season
anyways i got some stuff at the dollar store so i'll be making a few halloween
diys to make this place look a little more festive and spooky first i want
to mention something really really cool i found at the dollar store
i ran into these bleeding skull candles you light them up just like a regular candle and
then the skull bleeds through its eyes kind of looks like it's crying tears of blood
pretty creepy stuff they're perfect for halloween but honestly i'm just gonna keep them year round
it's a vibe i think they would make awesome little presents or party favors
so cool in fact that i bought like 10 of them i saw a bleeding skull candle at walmart for
like five bucks but i think the dollar store one just looks better this is just a nice
white creepy skull that cries so beautiful anyways on to the diys excuse my hands there's
some paint on them life of a crafter also some scratches courtesy of so yeah i found this cookie
cutter set at the dollar tree there's a skull a ghost and a tombstone typical halloween shapes
you could make cookies with them if you want but i had a better idea i wrapped each cookie cutter
in aluminum foil and now they look so much better just messing they look terrible right now i know
i bought some candles from the dollar store i didn't really want to do like orange and black
i wanted something something a little more disgusting so i went with candy corn colors
oh the harbor iconically disgusting and a little unsettling that's the kind of vibe i try to go for
no one actually eats these things willingly but i do like the colors
i think they look nice together cute cute i hate it i decided to melt these candles down
into a huge pot of boiling water it actually took a little while for them to melt the whole
time i thought the glass around the candles might crack but thankfully none of them did
i have these little tongs that i use to feed my snakes the mice i managed to catch they're
multi-purpose they're great for pulling out these little candle wicks without burning my hand
that's better so now that the wax is melted i pulled out the cookie tray if you're new here
and you wish i was making cookies you should consider selling your soul to me by subscribing
to my channel and ringing that bell thing so you don't lose me on the internet i post new
videos every friday still not making cookies though so don't get your hopes up i plan on
making some little halloween tea lights out of these i poured in the melted candle wax
seemed simple enough until the ghost started bleeding ghosts aren't supposed to bleed this
whole thing became a hot mess i wasn't ready to throw it all in the trash just yet this time i
added just a little bit of wax at the bottom of the tombstone first i let that cool for like a
minute and then i poured the rest of the wax on top and stuck the tombstone in the freezer
and here's what popped out boo just kidding i did the same thing with the ghost off camera
it was very simple they just popped right out once they were cooled pouring all the wax in at once
was definitely not the way to go lesson learned i think they look cute together very spoopy this
next little diy is actually one i saw on tiktok no good story ever started with that sentence
and this one's no different i did eventually find an easier way i'll explain it as i go
so i saw people on tick tock buying wood stencils from the dollar store this time of year there's a
lot of really cool spooky stencils available all different types i was very excited because you
know i love spooky stuff and they're only a dollar what could possibly go wrong everything apparently
i also picked up some bleach from the dollar store and some cheap shirts from michaels they were like
three or four dollars each i did make sure they were 100 cotton they got to be 100 so far so good
i laid the stencils down on the shirts and then just bleach them down the row
gotta do this fast
you can see the bleach works pretty fast the blue shirt started changing color pretty immediately
i think i definitely went a little too heavy-handed on the bleach
that's my bad that's good i could already sense a pending disaster but i decided to let them sit
let the wound fester these shirts had such potential they didn't bleach to
white like i thought they would instead they turned like peach and pink and puked
there's a doodoo stain i really wanted it to turn white so i tried again
this time i bought stronger bleach clorox also my little patio area doesn't have any sunlight
there's a bunch of huge trees across my apartment that provide some nice shade it's nice for the
summertime not so nice when i'm trying to bleach these shirts i bought some more shirts and
it again new stencils new shirts a stronger bleach plus direct sunlight i even sprayed a lot
less bleach this time around i was getting really excited but actually things ended up even worse
they don't work doesn't work it was not my day doesn't work the bleach would probably work if
the stencil would stick to and adhere to the shirt but there's no good way to do that with
these they're always going to be a little raised honestly i hate working with bleach
it's toxic and the images don't even end up looking nice and crisp so i found a better
solution something that i'm a little more familiar with fabric paint except not exactly this time
i'm using fabric spray paint it was like four bucks it's not toxic or deadly i still wouldn't
recommend breathing it in definitely wear a mask and if you don't have one just hold your breath
in which case you might want to work fast which is good because this whole process is pretty fast i
put the stencil on the shirt i did weigh it down with some rocks where i could really wanted these
shirts to work this time i sprayed some fabric spray paint removed the stencil and voila it's
perfect and you don't need to use bleach in fact i loved it so much i did it a couple more times
it worked out perfectly every time on the frankenstein girl i did start running a bit
short so it got a little splattery but i think it adds a nice touch i love it
i think it's safe to say these shirts look a lot more professional and more put together i
also like the ghostly look the white fabric spray paint gave gave it like a haunted portrait kind of
look easy fast no mess or cleanup i would honestly skip the bleach and just go straight to the fabric
spray paint alright on to the next one i picked up a punch bowl from the dollar store very fancy
stuff except for its plastic but no one can tell through the camera what matters is that it looks
fancy i saw a video from tasty that made this it looked really cool so i decided to recreate it i
got some gloves just want something that's powder free i filled them up with some water and tied
them like a little water balloon i'm not the best at tying water balloons but i got there eventually
i gave each of the hands their own little bowl and made some extras in my lasagna tray
cause i had a feeling i was gonna mess something up sniffledorf has recently
learned how to jump on top of the table so he jumps up every chance he gets he
honestly never leaves me alone he likes to keep a close watch on me
but anyways i shoved the hands into the freezer and let them sit there the whole day
at night i poured some cranberry juice into the punch bowl we've got some lychee berries here
is it lychee or lychee oops it's really not funny i just shoved some blueberries in there
made them look like little freshly harvested
eyeballs not entirely convinced they're pulling off the look no
kind of looks like someone stuck their hand in a bee's nest very big hands i cut off the glove
with an x-acto knife really struggled with pulling the glove off the fingers
a couple of the fingers snapped off in the process i think that's the biggest issue i
had was getting the fingers out oops some of them worked out better than others things got a little
crowded with three hands so i left one out i think this diy does work tasties just looks a
bit cooler than mine turned out but i think it's a fun little touch to have at a halloween party
red ghost that's hot
