DIY Halloween Decorations
Halloween is just around the corner, and there’s no better way to get into the spooky spirit than by creating your own DIY Halloween decorations. Not only do homemade decorations allow you to get creative, but they’re also budget-friendly and a great way to involve the whole family. Whether you’re sprucing up your porch or making your living room a haunted haven, there are countless ways to add frightful fun to your home this season. From homemade Halloween decorations for outside to indoor crafts, these ideas will help you create the perfect eerie atmosphere.
DIY Easy Yarn Ghosts Halloween Garland
This one I found from A Country Girl’s Life. Why buy expensive decorations when you can make your own? Homemade Halloween & Fall Decorations are not only unique but give your home a personal touch. This project is not only easy but also perfect for keeping Halloween festive on a budget. For this one you only need some yarn and you probably already have the rest of the supplies at home.
Halloween Crafts for Adults
DIY Halloween decorations aren’t just for kids! If you’re looking for more sophisticated projects, there are plenty of Halloween crafts for adults that will take your decorating game to the next level. I love when people recycle art from the thrift store and paint ghosts on vintage pictures like Do Dodson Designs did in this picture.
Homemade Halloween Decorations for Outside
When it comes to decorating your yard or porch, homemade Halloween decorations for outside can make a big impact without breaking the bank. One popular idea is to create a graveyard scene using cardboard tombstones, gray paint, and stencils. You can also make eerie silhouettes by cutting out spooky shapes, such as witches or black cats, and hanging them in your windows. For a quick and easy outdoor decoration, consider making glowing eyes by cutting out eye shapes from toilet paper rolls and placing glow sticks inside. These decorations are sure to impress trick-or-treaters and guests alike. Another great idea is these tomato cage ghosts from Lolly Jane.
Halloween Lantern Ideas
Creating a Halloween lantern is a fun and easy craft that both kids and adults can enjoy, making it a perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit. One of the best things about this project is its versatility and simplicity. You don’t need to be particularly crafty to make a Halloween lantern, but the end result will be a festive decoration that you can proudly display in your home throughout the season. Even better, these lanterns are budget-friendly and can be customized with different themes. Take it one step further by using your lanterns during a family walk around the neighborhood, adding a festive glow to your evening stroll.
Cheap Halloween Decorations
If you’re on a budget, there are plenty of cheap Halloween decorations that look fantastic without costing a fortune. One of the easiest ways to decorate on the cheap is by using household items. Old milk jugs can be turned into ghost lanterns with the help of some black marker and LED lights. Another affordable option is to use black trash bags to create floating ghosts or giant spiders for your yard. Paper bats and skeletons made from cardstock are also inexpensive ways to add spooky touches around your home. By using what you already have, you can make Halloween decorating fun and affordable.

Halloween Door Decor
Found on Better Homes and Gardens. Tape together sheets of black cardstock to fill the entire door. Then, trace your design, cut it out, and adhere it to the door with tape or spray adhesive. DIY Halloween decorations are a fantastic way to make your home stand out this spooky season. Whether you’re crafting with the kids or making more intricate adult crafts, there’s something for everyone. From cheap Halloween decorations to outdoor Halloween decoration ideas, the possibilities are endless, and the end result will be a hauntingly fun space for all to enjoy. Happy crafting!
Tree Goblins
Found on www.diyideas.com I thought this one would be fun for the kids! Aluminum cans, rope, beads, paint, and markers are all you need for this do-it-yourself idea!
Milk Jug Jack O’ Lanterns
Found on www.tammyswallow.hubpages.com These are too cute and can be made to look like Jack O’ Lanterns or ghosts. Simply draw a face on each jug with a permanent marker. Inside each jug you can use a flame-less tea light, or you can run a string of mini white lights through each jug if you keep them close to one another.
