Budget-friendly easy Halloween crafts for families

This is the perfect pumpkin craft to scare away any monsters from your door! Start by stacking two pumpkins on each other, spray paint them white and use black paint for the eyes and bone detail. 

Disclaimer: If using paint or spray paint, ensure you do so outside in a well ventilated area and avoid doing so in direct winds.

What is Halloween without some sweets? So why not make the extra effort and create some spooky treat cups? Draw your creepy design on the front of your paper cups, attach a pipe cleaner as a handle and fill them up!

Give your home a gothic mansion vibe with these pool noodle candles. All you need to do is carefully cut your noodles to size, paint them the desired colour (we like black), and then place battery operated tealights on the top. Why not go the extra mile and decorate them with fake spiders and faux cobwebs? 

Who says that crafting can’t be fun? With these wooden spoon monsters, your children will have fun making them and putting on a puppet show! All you need is some wooden spoons, some paint, and decorations. Make a witch, a vampire or even a ghost!

Give your space a scary feel with these paper plate spiders. They couldn’t be easier to make! 

Just paint a paper plate black, then when it’s dry, attach some pipe cleaners as legs and some googly eyes to complete. Why not add a string hook to hang your masterpiece from? 

Dangle this paper wreath from a window for an eerie look. Start by folding two pieces of black paper like an accordion, leaving about 1.5 inches between folds. Then, fold each in half lengthwise. Carefully cut the top of the paper diagonally so you’ll have a pointed end when it’s unfolded. Cut three triangles out of paper, about half an inch apart on each segment.

Now that you’ve folded and cut both sheets of paper tie them together tightly at their centre folds. Finally, take each loose edge of folded paper and attach it to the end next to it with glue. 

Disclaimer: Always supervise children when using scissors. It’s also advised to use safety scissors to avoid injuries.

These cute ghost garlands make the perfect Halloween decorations in a pinch! 

Start by accordion folding a white piece of paper into approximately three-inch sections. Follow this up by tracing a ghost design on the top piece, ensuring the arm is connected to the edge of the paper. Cut around the shape of your design and unfold. For a longer garland, repeat the process and attach them with tape. 

Halloween doesn’t have to be gruesome. You can have a bit of sparkle too! 

These glitter pumpkin stems are the perfect solution for those who want to get in the spirit in a more glamorous way. They’re super easy too! Once you’ve painted the base of your pumpkin and it’s dry, paint the stem with glue and dip it in the glitter of your choice.
