DIY Halloween Decorations: 11 Easy And Affordable Ideas
Halloween is one of the most fun days of the year — it’s the perfect excuse to get creative and make decorations to give your home a spooky look. But there’s no need to break the bank on store-bought decorations. Here are 11 simple and inexpensive ideas for DIY Halloween decorations that will spookify your home with seasonal flair.
1. Pumpkins
Pumpkins are the quintessential Halloween decoration, and carving them is a great family activity. Plus, there are numerous ways to decoupage, paint and customize them. From painted sugar skulls to zombie face pumpkins, get creative and bring some spooky fun to your Halloween.
2. Paper Garlands
Garlands are a fun and festive way to add a touch of Halloween spirit to your home. You can easily make them with strips of black or orange paper and embellish them with ghoulish accents like plastic spiders, black cats and ghost cutouts.
3. Spooky Pillowcases
Transform everyday pillowcases into creepy decorations by using fabric paint, glitter or black lace to create eerie designs. Add a few glow-in-the-dark stars and spiders for extra spookiness.
4. Creepy Candles
Make ordinary candles spooky by adding a bit of glitter or black sparkles to the outside and some plastic spiders around the base. Feel free to add a few drops of food coloring to the wax for a more unique look.
5. Floating Ghosts
Make ghostly figures with white balloons, white fabric and craft eyes. Tie the fabric around the top of the balloon and hang them up to give your living room an otherworldly vibe.
6. Eyeball Wreath
Create a custom wreath by painting styrofoam balls to look like eyeballs. Then hot glue them onto a wire frame and add some orange ribbon to finish it off.
7. Bat Garlands
Make a creepy bat garland simply by tracing and cutting out black paper bats. You can then use a bit of string, fishing wire or even a thin garland to hang them up.
8. Skull Table
Cover your tables with a combination of black and orange tablecloths and fake spider webs. As a final touch, add a few resin skulls and black candelabras.
9. Spooky Trees
Decorate your porch or yard with a few spooky trees. All you’ll need are some foam cones (or even toilet paper rolls), black fabric and a few plastic spiders.

You don’t have to spend big bucks on Halloween decorations — even potatoes can get in the spirit. Carve them into creepy monsters and light them up with a few candles for a spooktacular effect.
