DIY Halloween Decorations

RH Business Marketing Solutions

Are you looking for decorations that are cheap and easy to make? You’re on the right page. We love finding ways to DIY decorations and get creative for the spooky season.

There are numerous things you can use to make these DIY tombstones. You can use wood, foam, thick cardboard, anything that would be able to withstand weather. You can fully customize these and use random names or make a theme to the tombstones and make them funny as seen in the picture.

This DIY might be on the more pricey side, but it’s not impossible to DIY. You would need to buy a jack o lantern head, preferably a light one from a craft store. You can build the body of the pumpkin man out of PVC pipes, (which is perfect for us plumbers), and cover the PVC in any type of wrap to get your desired look. This pumpkin man also has sticks for hands, so it’s proof that you don’t have to make it fancy or overcomplicated.

Are you a great painter and are looking for a small project? Painting realistic eyes on the rocks that you put in your garden is a small but super spooky detail to add to your decorations this spooky season.

The perfect decoration to add into your window is a DIY one! You can make a cut out of a spooky character of your choice and make sure the light will hit it and make it stand out in the day and night time!

Another DIY where you probably have to spend some money, but this is a cost effective one! Foam heads and faces are relatively cheap, and cost less than $5 to buy. You can also purchase mesh as pictured if you don’t have any on hand, but you can definitely experiment and get different spooky colored mesh to make it pop more.

Have any mason jars laying around as well as some paint? This is the perfect opportunity to make paint faces on the jars and throw a LED light into the jar and make it look spooky!

Another mason jar spooky project, adding a LED light and mesh on the top will make it look like a spooky lantern!

If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the more popular decorations, this DIY Michael Myers is the perfect cheap alternative. PVC is cheap, and you can make this probably 80% less than the cost of buying a Michael Myers from a store.

Using household appliances are a perfect way to incorporate the DIY aspect of it because you’re saving money on cool decorations!
