I am back with another quick and easy Halloween craft with my DIY Halloween vase. This is part of the Craft Lightning series this week. All week long I am posting crafts that take 15 minutes or less to complete (excluding dry time). If you have missed any of the fun this week head on over and check out the features. Now let me show you how quick and easy this fun vase is to make and then you can add it to your Halloween decor.
Supplies needed to make this DIY Halloween vase:
- $1.99 container from Goodwill
- $1 skeleton from The Dollar Tree
- Americana gloss enamels for glass in white
- Hot glue and a glue gun
How to make a skeleton hand vase for Halloween:
I was inspired by this original Pottery Barn vase but $99 was not happening y’all. So, I came up with this budget-friendly option that anyone can make. Start by painting the container with white paint. It actually took 3 coats to get really good coverage. Allow the vase to dry well in between coats.
After the container dries, cut the hand off of the skeleton with a pair of scissors and use hot glue to put it on the front of the vase. You can use the other parts of the skeleton for other crafts like this skeleton dish.
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 DIY Halloween vase. Grab a skeleton at your local dollar store to make your own Pottery Barn knock-off this Halloween. You will love the results.
Stay tuned for even more Halloween quick craft fun all week as Craft Lightning continues. You don’t want to miss it! For another version of this Pottery Barn bone hand vase, be sure to visit my friend Viv!

Oh this is really cute, I will have to remember this when I head to the dollar store so I can try it. 🙂 Thanks for sharing hun and have a great day!
Nicely done! I love this little bit of spooky added to an already fun display!
Very nice Angie! Love it being a wee bit spooky! 😉

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!
