guess that is a possibility--it would probably just make them a bit stiffer...

That's what I do, cheap crappy silk flowers and cheap flat black spray paint. (Walmart)

A few new items listed on the DOLLAR TREE online site that should be in stores now:

Crafting foam, 1pk of 4x6inch foam, 32ct.

8 x 10 inch wooden frames, this size isn't always in stock during the year, wood can be painted and embellishments can be glued on. Nice size for creating your creepy family ghoul photos.

Large giant plastic eggs for alien/monster hatching projects.

Solar Dancing Bug Pots, similar to the past few years' solar dancing flowers and probably just as hard to pick p in the store (fly off the shelves when stocked). Planning a haunted garden? This version might be easier to replace the bug for a skeleton head than the flower version.

I'll be visiting the hairdresser today so I'll get to hit the Dollar Tree AND Big Lots today!

I like to use these http://www.dollartree.com/catalog/se...0grass&x=0&y=0 in my grave yard, especially around the fence and tomb stones. (sorry for the URL, I don't remember how to make it look nicer..) I just poke them into the ground next to the fence or stone. Look pretty cool, especially since I have dead grass...

I have been buying a few each time I go so that I will have plenty more this year!

I originally went into the store today to pick up two foam, 7-1/2 inch footballs that I needed for creating the head of a missle; the body and "tail fins" of the missle is created out of a Nerf Battlemaster Mace toy (found at Ross for 4.99). When done the "weapon" will be mounted underneath my modified car/space ship attack vessel still in the planning stages. I could only find one of this sized foam footballs in the whole store (tons of the smaller version) so while my basket was full by the time I checked out, I left without picking up what I really set out for. This store is so dangerous if you have some time to shop and not just run in and out.

I also picked up some additional fish netting material for my chain link fence project. Added a seashell bra for a fiji mermaid. This Week's Featured In Store item (see their website's main page) is a solar powered hula girl dancer (in yellow or green skirt and top) and figured I could modify them somehow so added a few of these to my basket. When I got to the floral department (not gardening), they had some nice sized bamboo poles in a floral decor box display. Different colors and thicknesses with about the thickest I'd guess 3/4-1 inch in diameter. All bamboo about 4 feet tall. I picked up 11 of the thickest poles and will add them to my bamboo collection for jungle theme projects.



They had the adult and children's natural rafia hula skirts in the luau section. And I saw packets of loose rafia in the floral section in case anyone is in need of this material.
