This holiday has recently entered our life, but it has taken root precisely due to the interesting entourage and atmosphere. Today we will talk about DIY Halloween home decor. It’s no secret that Halloween is a holiday of evil spirits. And the decor will of course be appropriate.
The easiest way is to buy all the paraphernalia in the store, but it’s not so cool as tinkering with your own hands! You can choose any one theme for decoration – harry potter, gothic, witch, monster, graveyard or pirate, or mix them all. Whatever it is – a family holiday or an incendiary disco – our ideas will tell you how to be with the decor.
1. Scary Outdoors
These budget-friendly ideas and decor will help you create a fun yard or porch for Halloween that won’t scare your family’s bejeebers, neighbours or wallet.
2. Halloween wreath
Get your Halloween front door ready with this eye-catching tutorial from Polka Dot Chair. You will need a frame with wire crowns with chenille ties.
First, tie the tie around the frame using the black ribbon. Then secure each bow with a chenille tie. After completing the crown, add a layer of an arcade in seasonal colours. To complete the look, attach the ornaments to the eyeball. A dozen usually costs less than five dollars at most craft stores.
3. Halloween signs
Do-it-yourselfers can make this fantastic Halloween street bird sign and soap using scrap wood and paint. To get in the spirit, use the names of the locations in your favourite horror movies.
4. Ghost balloons

This trio unknown to Alanna Wendt to Tennessee was created with the help of tomato cages, wires and strings. To make ghostly faces, grab a Sharpie marker.

23. DIY Pumpkin Dryer Vent
We love a good craft project, and this fan blowing tutorial by Grillo Designs is one of our favourites because while it seems hard to do, it isn’t. First, connect both ends of the fan to form the shape. Then paint your new creation. When dry, top with a short branch and moss.
24. Spiders and bats
Decorate your porch or playground with your cane and DIY Lay Lay Lay pavilion. To do this, you will need wooden body hoops (you can buy them at most craft stores), black paint, black construction paper, pipe cleaners, mini pom-poms, googly eyes and glued sticks.
25. Pumpkin Topiary
To make this whimsical pumpkin whimsical by Be Book Bound just stack a couple of pumpkin style pumpkins in an outdoor decorative planter and add colourful leaf stalks. After that, pull the face and buttons.
26. Rocks painting
Give the fall harvest arrangement on the front porch a Halloween turn by adding a couple of hand-painted stones like these by Atta Girl Says. To protect yourself from creations, use outdoor paint.
27. Emoji Pumpkins
When it comes to child-friendly Halloween decor, we can’t think of anything weirder than these sculptural emoji pumpkins making World Cuter. While the blogger used a DIY kit to do the job, you’ll find several free prints on Pinterest.
28. Ghosts of the old house
Why not bring some kind (or not quite) hand-made ghosts to your home. There is nothing complicated in this, you just need gauze, starch solution or PVA glue. The gauze is roughly trimmed at the edges, moistened in a solution or glue, and dried on a suitably shaped object to take on the shape of a ghost. You can use balls, plastic cups or jars for these purposes. After drying, you can paint or glue the eyes.
An even easier method is to throw gauze over a helium balloon or attach a regular balloon to the ceiling.
29. A secret covered in … cobwebs
Cobwebs evoke abandoned houses and mystical places, and they can be made from white or black paper, wire, or thread. White fluffy woollen threads create a very believable spider web for Halloween home decor. Place some cute little black cardboard spiders on it.
30. Custom pumpkins
Halloween is a holiday of autumn. And how can you do without a pumpkin? By the way, did you know that Jack was originally cut out of a turnip, and then replaced with a pumpkin? Ordinary carved pumpkins are no longer interesting and not original. You don’t have to make scary paraphernalia – just take a look at these extraordinary and stylish options for decorating an autumn fruit. To accomplish this, you need white, black, gold or silver paint, rhinestones, stones and a little imagination.
31. Mummies are everywhere
Armed with an ordinary white medical bandage, you can make a mummy from any object – be it a bottle or a pillow.
32. Intricate branches
Perhaps the easiest option. Find a branch of a suitable size that is interesting in shape. Remove leaves, wash and dry. Spray paint in black if desired. From above, you can throw a ready-made spider web of woollen threads or gauze, plant crows or bats, hang balls of orange, white and black colours.
33. Fascinating candles
Candles will bring a touch of mysticism to your home. These can be candles decorated with autumn leaves, scary candlesticks or “bloody candles”. The latter is quite easy to make: take a red candle, light it and drip wax onto a white one.
34. Mice and rats
Get rats in your home. Ideal if you have a staircase, but prominent corners or walls can also be used. Rodents can be painted with acrylic, vinyl decals, or cut out of black paper and glued to double-sided tape. To get a neat drawing, look for templates on the Internet.
35. Colours
Use white, black, orange and red to create a horror atmosphere, and be sure to prepare a scary costume and interesting treats for guests, such as blood punch or gummies. Spice up cloudy, cold fall days with fun Halloween home decor with our simple tips, and fall off the blues!
36. Lighting
It’s worth starting with lighting. You can screw in weak bulbs, or even spend the whole evening by candlelight. Be careful and use safety precautions when doing this. Also, lighting fixtures can be covered with paper or curtained with a cloth.
37. Dark Tablecloth
Take out white tablecloths (some can be smeared in red paint or fake blood, if not a pity) and cover the furniture with them. You can, on the contrary, take a dark tablecloth for the table: against such a background, white dishes and sparkling appliances will look special.
