If you’re looking for a few ideas for Halloween decorations, you can try making these easy crafts for kids. Whether you want to create a creepy murder scene or decorate your house with glow sticks and toilet paper rolls, there are many fun ideas to try. And you can even make your own felt ghosts! Here are some of our favorite Halloween crafts to try. The kids will love helping you create these haunted decorations.
Make a Murder Scene
Halloween decorations are fun and frightening but if you’re not sure where to start, consider making a murder scene in your home. There are easy crafts that anyone can make to make their house look creepy and scary, and many of them don’t even require any sewing skills. Make a body bag from old clothing or newspaper. You can also use a leaf as a dummy and tape a paper circle around it to create a circular “head.” Whatever you decide to make, remember to make it look real and lifelike.
Decorate With Glow Sticks
A great way to add mystery to your Halloween decorations is to use glow sticks. These simple glow sticks are made up of two chemicals, one inside and one outside of a thin glass tube. When you bend a glow stick, you break the glass tube inside to allow the chemicals to mix and create the color. Once you’ve created your glow stick scavenger hunt, you can use the glow sticks to decorate your home.
Decorate With Toilet Paper Rolls
When decorating for Halloween, don’t limit yourself to the usual goblins and felt ghosts. Toilet paper rolls can be used to create all kinds of creepy and ghoulish decorations. If you don’t have the time to create elaborate and scary creations, you can also use toilet paper rolls to create fun, Halloween-themed crafts for kids. If you have little ones, you can create a spacecraft or a monster mobile from toilet paper rolls.
Make a Charred Corpse
Making a charred corpse craft is easy, but the process isn’t without its hazards. The materials used for creating the charred corpses should be safe for humans, as melted plastic and foam can be dangerous if they’re not disposed of properly. If you don’t have any experience in crafting these things, you can always ask an experienced friend or relative to help you with the project.
Make a Spooky Wreath
To make a spooky wreath for your door, you must first paint the foam balls black and green. Next, dip toothpicks in glue and stick them into the form of the wreath. Then, arrange the balls in different ways. For extra fright, attach googly eyes to the foam balls. Once dry, the wreath is ready to hang. You can use this to decorate your front door on Halloween.
Make a Hologram Roof
The ultimate Halloween party trick is to create a hologram roof in your backyard. This simple trick requires a hole in your wall and some styrofoam. It’s a great alternative to those department store cobwebs that never seem to come off. Unlike skeletons, which do not climb the roof, holograms are made of real light, which our eyes collect and then decode.
Hanging Webs
If you’re wondering what type of creepy Halloween decor to hang, a hanging web is a great DIY project. This craft can be made with black garbage bags. You can use these bags to create spider webs and a spider costume. You can also use them to hang spiders from your ceiling or windows. They’re not only creepy decorations, but they’re also great for classrooms, workspaces, and Halloween parties.
Glass Ghosts
If you’re not a crafty person, but you’d still like to haunt your home for Halloween, there are several easy crafts you can make yourself. You can make felt ghosts from white sheets and chicken wire, or you can also make a Grim Reaper from cheesecloth. The trick is to be patient while making these scary decorations. A foam wig stand can help you make the ghost shapes more realistic.
Pumpkin Carving
For a unique Halloween decoration, you can create a pumpkin that is both creepy and artistic. You can use a stencil or just draw the design directly on the pumpkin. If you don’t feel comfortable carving the pumpkin, you can print a design and trace it onto the pumpkin. You can also print a template and cut the design out. You can then attach the template to the pumpkin with duck tape. Free templates and stencils for carving pumpkins are available online. Once the design is complete, use a scalpel to make the pumpkin into a haunted house. You can also carve out chunks of pumpkin flesh to create a door or window.
Spray Painted Tombstones
To make a tombstone, first cut out the shape of the base and the sides of the box. Use a utility knife to cut along the bottom and sides of the box. You may want to use an industrial-grade mask and dab the acrylic paints lightly with a sea sponge to prevent allergic reactions. You may also want to paint the base a darker color than the tombstone. Once the tombstone is complete, you can secure it with stakes.
Ping-Pong Ball Skeletons
The possibilities are endless with DIY ping-pong ball skeleton decorations for your home. They are easy to create and look great when decorated with twinkle lights. And since they’re not that expensive, you can even use the items you already have. For example, you can make felt ghost lights using Christmas lights or twinkle lights and white ping pong balls. Depending on how many you want to make, you can use different types of lights.
