Those Dollar Tree Skeletons - you know the ones...they are tiny, they are BEYOND cheap, and they have the WORST skulls in the Universe. Yep. 😮

We're going to transform one of these little guys into a Creepy Death Coach Driver. Just you wait and see! 👁

While we're at it, we'll dress up a tiny poseable skelly to act as a Victorian Mute - just another one of those mysterious Victorian Mourning Customs that seem so odd (yet charming) to our modern sensibilities.🤔

Bit by bit, we're constructing an EPIC Gothic Victorian Halloween Tableau - these Altered Mini Skeletons are just the thing to bring 'life' to our project!😜

C'mon, let's do this!🛠
