1 – DIY Bat Garland by Press Print Party!
The original bat garland I had listed here disappeared. But no need to cry, I have my own bat garland cutouts right here available for free. So, if you have black construction paper, you can dress up your mantle with these cute bats. Both the garland and the cute paper bat craft are available.
2 – DIY Hanging Ghosts by Simply Designing
Ok, I may have to go to the store to pick up some Styrofoam balls, but I just couldn’t resist the simplicity of these hanging ghosts from Simply Designing.
The clincher is that they’re a Pottery Barn knockoff! (And they look a bit like Jack Skelington)
3- Halloween Ghost Jars
If you’re like me you have tons of glass jars in the garage. Here’s a great way to use them. The link to the DIY is no longer working but the premise is easy.
Just wrap bottles and jars with gauze, make eyes and mouths with black cardboard or vinyl and glue them on. Insert some battery-operated fairy lights in the jars and display your creations.
4 – Pacman Halloween Garland by Minieco
I had a good laugh when I saw this clever Pacman garland. Reminiscent of the 80’s playing way too much Pacman. It also comes with a printable template.
5 – Trash Bag Spider Webs by How About Orange
How about utilizing something ugly to craft something amazing? It’s time to put those leaf bags to good use and make these trash bags spider webs.
Hope you found something to make right now to spooky up your house. Check out all of the Halloween posts and freebies on the blog!
