I painted my container with the white paint. It actually took 3 coats to get really good coverage. I allowed the vase to dry well in between coats.
After the container had dried, I cut the hand off of my skeleton with a pair or scissors and used hot glue to put it on the front of my vase.
Yes that is it. A $1 skeleton hand on a painted Goodwill vase. Looks pretty darn good right? I put it with a few other Halloween crafts that I have made over the years.
The Macbeth Halloween decor pictured is one of my favorite Halloween crafts of all time. You too can make those jars, the witch’s spell, and the cauldron. Just head over to see how.
For now I will be admiring my cute (and affordable) bone hand vase. Grab a skeleton at your local dollar store to make your own Pottery Barn knock off this Halloween. You will love the results.

love this! So easy. I was just at the dollar store too. I need to go back for the skeleton!
I love love love when you make something a big store has for a ridiculous price. I made an advent wall hanging. Big store price $300. bucks. My price, literally under 10 bucks. It was made with branches from my yard, twine and little buckets purchased at the dollar store, now I did use my cricket to cut out the numbers for the buckets but I could have easily hand numbered the buckets. But really it looked every bit as nice as the one from the big store and cost a fraction of the big store price. Woot.
Love it! Pinned it!
