Anyone Can Make This Adorable Mini Halloween Mansion!
Turn a Dollar Tree doll house into spooky Halloween decor using spray paint and inexpensive craft supplies.
You can’t go wrong with a Halloween trend that involves spray paint! This one transforms simple Dollar Tree dollhouses into spooky haunted mansions, and with an LED light turns it into a terrific display piece.
Make a few, and you’ll have an inexpensive Halloween village! 🙌
You can even host a Dollar Tree dollhouse decorating party!
Hosting a party where everyone decorates a haunted house is like Halloween’s version of gingerbread decorating. I painted my house black, sprayed plastic skeletons silver, and hot-glued mini pumpkin stacks. Dollar Tree has great stickers and embellishments to customize your spooky creation.
Halloween Decor Doll House Makeover
PrintSupplies Needed

Directions

Spray paint the doll house black or other desired color. Let it completely dry.

Extra tips for this Halloween doll house makeover:
- I recommend starting with a base layer of spray paint on these. They don’t seem to take acrylic paint with a brush very well. I attempted that first.
- A silver Sharpie seemed to work well over the paint! You can consider using other craft materials such as a paint pen, glitter, puffy paint, etc.
- Adding little LED tea lights adds such a nice effect at night. Fairy lights could work too.
- This concept is not limited to a Halloween idea. Consider painting them brown and white like gingerbread houses for Christmas. So cute!
I am in love with my little Dollar Tree doll houses turned Halloween decor.
No one would ever guess this was pink plastic before! This is inspiring me to dream a little bigger and maybe do a larger makeover on a thrift store doll house. That would make such a creative Halloween display on a larger scale.
