Then you just pop one head onto one light at a time and voila! Light up skeleton garland! If you plan to display the garland hanging, you'll want to cut the X at the top of the head, if you plan to display the garland sitting atop a mantel, you'll want to cut the X at the bottom of the head. Much like earlier, you'll cut an X in the skeleton heads. When you're at the Dollar Tree pick up some “christmas” tree lights (they have Halloween lights too that are orange or purple), a pack of skeleton heads, and a scissor. These little guys can then be taped up around your wall (I like them around our fireplace and TV), all the way up onto your ceiling or wherever suits you to create the effect of a bat attack!

You can freehand the bats or you can click here to download my Halloween Printables which include several bats you can use as a stencil for this too! Basically all you're going to do is trace/draw some bats of whatever size all over your poster board and cut them out. *Total cost: $1 per mug (and of course the extra dollar for the Sharpie)įor this Dollar Tree Halloween DIY you'll need scissors and a black piece of posterboard. By baking the mug you are setting your design so it'll become permanent! If you want to be extra certain the design is permanent (it should be fine after 30 minutes though) you can bake a second time the exact same way. They will be hot, so just turn off the oven, open it up and let them cool after. Once you have your design in place, you'll pop them in the cold oven, set it to 350 degrees and wait 30 minutes. Don't stress about messing up, you can always grab a wet paper towel and wipe it off to restart. Next, you'll want to come up with a few designs or sayings and simply put them on the mug. You'll want to pick up whatever colors you like, and also grab the Sharpie extra fine point marker while you're there. During Halloween they bring out the orange ones too. The Dollar Tree always has some basic ceramic coffee mugs.

We are all the same when you strip us down to our thin calcium frames. Their story is our story, a story of the mundane beauty of everyday life.

We all spend our days working in the garden or taking out the trash or teaching our skeleton children to ride a bike, barely pausing to notice how these tiny moments add up to a life. We are all a mess of bones underneath all these layers of muscle and fat and hair and lame scumbro outfits. We are all the same, the decorations declare.

The message of the skeletons, it seems, is one of unity. Their skeletal lives mirror our own, like a spooky version of that George Saunders story ' Sticks.' They soak up the sun and picnic and even put up decorations in a truly meta turn.

These skeletons breakdance, they party, they camp out, they clean. Don't you see? Don't you get it? It is the mundanity of their actions that make Bill and Bob's skeletons so truly exceptional.
