Easy Dollar Store Halloween & Holoween Pumpkin Door Hanger Decorating Ideas

Sharing is caring!

My favorite holiday is hands-down Halloween, and one of my favorite colors? Holographic (or Holo for short) I wanted to make something fun and cheap for Halloween that would outshine the rest!

Surfaces that are holographic reflect the whole color spectrum

Tools & Materials

This is my fastest project to date, took 20-30 minutes from start to finish! And it is super easy to make!

I went on a shopping spree at the local dollar store and ended up with these pumpkin signs, ribbons, and this wild deco mesh tubing.

First things first, when I got it all home, I removed all the extra parts on the signs that wouldn’t be needed such as the raffia bow, metal leaf, and twine hanger leaving me with two flat pumpkins to work on.

• 

I placed my vinyl and pumpkin front side facing down and traced out the shape in pencil before cutting it out with scissors, I did the same with the other pumpkin.

Then I worked carefully to remove the backing on the vinyl and smoothing it onto the pumpkin flat.

Bats are one of my favorite animals, so what better time to feature them than on this Halloween door hanger? I used my Cricut Maker to cut out one big bat, and two smaller ones. They could be easily cut out on a different machine or by hand, but I would definitely stick with the black glitter cardstock it adds some really interesting texture.

To attach the big bat to the pumpkin I used adhesive dots to give it a more 3D effect. I hot glued the small ones onto a chenille stem (or pipe cleaner) I curled with my fingers.

That was a nice little detour, but now we have to get our heads back in the game and finish this!

Final Touches

I find it best to figure out exactly how you want to place your pieces together before pulling out any adhesives. I quickly applied hot glue to the back of the smaller pumpkin and then pressed it down onto the bigger one. Then I hot glued my little twin bats into the bow for a fun finishing touch.

And here we are, at last, finished. I would love it if you’d pin the Pinterest pin I made below and I’d love to see your Dollar Store creations, especially if they are Holo.

Wait…There are more sparkly crafts?
