How to make your own Dollar Tree Halloween Fence using items from Dollar Tree. The perfect Halloween fence on a budget.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Materials

  • Step in Fence Posts - As many as you need to evenly space them apart in your yard
  • Dollar Tree Plastic Halloween Chains
  • Black Zip Ties
  • Spray Paint if using - We used black and silver but you can spray it any color you'd like
  • Skulls enough for each fence post - Found at Dollar Tree
  • Skeleton hands enough for each fence post - Found at Dollar Tree
  • Wood Stain optional but changes the look of the skulls
  • Hot Glue Gun

Instructions
 

  • Start by covering your work area with plastic or something to keep the spray paint from getting everywhere. Once covered, begin spray painting your fence posts. Keep in mind you don't need to spray paint the pointed tips as that will be in the ground. We first spray painted with a matte black paint then went over a little bit of silver to give it a metal look.
  • While your fence posts are drying, you can work on staining the skulls and skeleton hands if you are wanting that weathered, old look. Set aside to dry.
  • Once everything is dry, you can begin assembling the fence.
  • We started by evenly measuring out the fence posts using the chains (one chain was in between each post) but you can do this any way you'd like.
  • Stick the fence posts into the ground and then begin attaching the chains using zip ties. They easily attach to the notches in the back of the fence posts.
  • Once that is all assembled, add the finishing touches of the skulls and hands. We hot glued the hands on the top of the fence posts. The skulls had a small square hold cut out and then we applied hot glue to make sure they were secure.
  • That's it! You now have a spooky Halloween fence on a budget! Enjoy and Happy Halloween!
