Decorate your home for Halloween this year on a budget, but make it look expensive. Add these modern, adorable, and playful decor items into your home for Halloween. I'm crafting charming, spooky, and budget-friendly decorations using items from the dollar store. I'm pairing a googly eye napkin holder, googly eye coasters, graphic print napkins, and a bug-themed bowl with drinking glasses. Check below to see how each piece I'm including in this year's decor is made!

Hey Boo Napkins

  • White Party Napkins

  • Permanent Iron on Vinyl (I used two different colors)

Step 4: Weed out the conversation bubbles and text.


Step 5: Individually apply and iron or heat press the text onto the napkins.

Step 3: Cut the image and use transfer tape to transfer the image.


Step 4: Apply the image to the front of the glass and peel away the transfer tape.





Step 5: Then, apply one of the bugs to the inside bottom of the clear bowl and take off the transfer tape.

  • Silicone Coasters Mold

  • Clear Cast Epoxy

  • Googly Eyes



Step 1: Gather clear epoxy, coaster molds, and googly eyes from the dollar store.
