DIY Bug House

May 7, 2014 by Vikram Goyal

DIY Bug House

Not sure why you would want to, except perhaps as a science project or a lazy afternoon kids project?

But here is a tutorial for how to make your own bug house!

It can be made from all recycled materials and is a great way to attract all those ‘friendly’ creepy crawlies to your garden 🙂

Dollar Tree Halloween Tiered Stand

I love a good Dollar Tree Halloween craft, and this DIY Halloween tiered stand is one of those projects that proves you really don’t need expensive supplies to make something spooky and impressive.

This project uses simple plastic plates, bowls, wine glasses or candle holders, black spray paint, and a few Halloween decorations to create a dramatic tiered display stand. The raven on top gives it that perfect haunted-house feel, while the black finish pulls everything together so it looks much more high-end than the supply list suggests.

What I really like about this project is how flexible it is. You can make it tall and dramatic with several layers, or simplify it into a shorter version if you want something for a mantel, entry table, Halloween party buffet, or spooky centerpiece. The skeleton hands at the base are optional too, so you can make it as creepy or as classic as you like.

This is also a great project for using up random Halloween decorations you already have in your stash. Add mini pumpkins, faux spiderwebs, battery candles, skulls, ravens, potion bottles, or even wrapped candy for a Halloween party display.
