I did a Dollar Tree Halloween haul – a ‘bleeding’ buy is so cool and my DIY will make candlesticks look more expensive

A DIY pro shared her Dollar Tree Halloween haul, plus tips for spooky creations.
She was excited about a “bleeding” find and had ideas for her new inexpensive candlesticks.
Taylor (@bluefirecrafts) shared the loot in a video with over 100,000 TikTok followers.
“Halloween is here, Dollar Tree has all of their fall and Halloween things on sale now, so many DIY things!” she said.
First, she picked up a pack of “bleeding” candle holders, which had a cooling effect when lit. “They bleed red, they’re so cool,” she said.
Next, she was excited about the return of some decorations she had been waiting for: “The skeletons are back! I have three,” she said, showing the miniatures.
While browsing the store, she noticed ghost pillows that would be great for the project.
“This looks like a spider web,” she said, holding up a flat white pillow.
She also took inspiration from black flowers for potential wreaths and mini vials for potion bottles.
She also noted the variety of crafts and wooden blanks for masks and even picked up some pumpkin candles carved from plastic.
“I plan to spray paint the candlesticks to make them look more expensive,” she said.
People thanked her for the advice: “Amazing spooky finds!” said one commenter.
“The other bleeding candle skull and the other potions are my favorite thing I got this year,” said another.
“I have the bleeding candles too! I can’t wait to burn it down,” said a third.
Others were shocked at how affordable the popular item was: “Shut up! The bleeding candles are available at At Home for about $4 each!” said one.
