Want a spooky Halloween tree without spending much? Here’s a quick, budget-friendly DIY idea: transform a green Christmas tree into a dark Halloween centerpiece with black spray paint.

Supplies:
Green Christmas Tree (any size)
Black Multi-Surface Spray Paint & Primer (2 cans, indoor/outdoor)
Lights (orange or any Halloween-themed color)
Ornaments (Dollar Tree or thrifted)
Extras: Face mask, old sheet, or cardboard for spraying.
Steps:
Assemble and fluff your tree, then place it on a sheet or cardboard.
Spray the tree with a light coat, let it dry, and repeat for 2-3 coats. Fill any missed spots.
Add lights, ornaments, and other decorations to complete the look.
Use thrifted or discounted items to keep costs low, and don’t forget to grab an extra can of spray paint just in case. For my project, I used orange lights from Home Depot ($2.49–$4.95) and ornaments from Dollar Tree ($1–$1.98).

Get creative and enjoy your spooky DIY! Stay tuned for more Halloween ideas, like my upcoming branch tree project.
