I could never find a place for them and then it occurred to me that maybe it was because they needed a bit of a makeover---a silver spray paint makeover.
With a few decorative ornament hangers and my army of silver skeletons in hand I proceeded to the dining room.
They're just the spooktacular accessory that my chandelier needed.
I was so pleased with their gory to glam makeover that I gave a larger dollar store skeleton the same treatment. But while the paint was still wet I sprinkled on a little glitter. 
Tied with a bow he guards this shelf perfectly.Be sure to visit on Monday. I have a wonderful treat in store---an exciting giveaway!

I saw those and was wondering what I could do with them. Great idea!!!
Those look great. You always amaze me with your talent.
Great idea - the skeletons look a lot better silver! :)
They look so much better silver!
I love it in silver and the glitter too!!
Ha! Love the one on your mantel with his bow tie!
Spooktacular indeed! Great idea :)
LOVE it! Great idea and they do look so much better silver!
Very cute! I did something similar to this last year. I used the same garland and turned each skeleton into an ornament by tying ribbon around the neck! You can check it out here...it's a dark picture but if you look closely at the tree you can see it! I just love those little skeletons! I like what you did with the chandelier! I may have to try that next year!

I saw those at the dollar store and fell in love with them. I did not buy them because I had no idea what to do with them. Now I know! Thanks for the insight. Love your blog.
Love them!!
Coming back to let you know I'll be posting about these at Dollar Store Crafts this afternoon. :)

Oh, I love that!!! I passes by those garlands of skeletons at my Dollar Tree so many times, but didn't know just what I'd do with them. I never did buy any, now I wish I did. Darn! I'll have to file this idea away for next year, and hope the ole DT carries them again.
Thanks for sharing!
I love your skellies!
adorable!
Found your blog the other day and have truly been drawn in. If your analytics are off the charts, it's because I have been reading post after post after post. Love it all...gorgeous home...beautiful writing...I adore it all! SO glad I found the Joys of Home!!
Just goes to show you, EVERYTHING looks better in silver!
Happy Halloween:)
My 14 year old watched a youtube video and learned to make nooses...then tied each to a noose w/ the twine that came w/ them....they are all hanging as a doorknob hanger/clanger on front door.... I love the silver idea!!
Love the skeletons! I'm always looking for ways to update the ordinary things we find at the dollar store and elsewhere...spray paint and I are good friends!
Happy halloween!
What a cute idea! Why can't I think of things like that?!?
Hope you have a great week!
There are thousands of scammers online who are happy to take your money but i experienced a site related to latex mattress toppers. It is a awesome site with great knowledge.
