Leaf Ghosts

All ages of children may help with this simple DIY Halloween décor. Collect the dead leaves, then paint them white. You can go back and add eyeballs with a permanent pen once they have dried. The ghosts can be used to adorn a plain table runner or to decorate pumpkins with glue.

Wine Bottle Candlesticks

Any Halloween event must have an eerie flicker. Spray-paint wine bottles in matte black. Place an orange taper candle in each opening once it has dried.

Pumpkin and mum-filled ceramic crocks

Bring it on. Display a variety of crocks on a front porch or stoop, along with flat, wide pumpkins (Musquee de Provence, Jarrahdale, and Cinderella are excellent varieties). Potted mums can be mixed in to add texture and color.

Bushels of Fun

At your family-friendly event, hang circular wood cutting boards that have been converted into pumpkins using orange wood stain, paper leaves, and pipe cleaner tendrils. Paper plates painted with orange and yellow craft paint stripes are used to create a candy cane garland. With the help of miniature hay bales and wood crates, give height to the buffet by displaying a seasonal arrangement in a vintage metal container.

Mix and Match Squash In Apothecary Jars

The autumnal hues of the amber glass containers are evoked, while the cyanide-themed vintage labels on the squash give off an "evil lab" vibe. In a kitchen or laundry room, place these DIY Halloween decorations on open shelves.

Eerie Living Room

These simple DIY Halloween decoration ideas are very frightening. Utilize sheet-draped chairs to create the ruined appearance of Miss Havisham's room. Then, drape a mirror with a cheesecloth "cobweb" and mount curly willow branches in candlesticks using museum wax.

Pumpkin Tiered Colander Display

Cut pieces of floral foam to suit the bottom and middle colanders' bowls. Push the top two colanders (feet work best) into the foam to form your stack. Fill the top tier and the crevices between the colanders with tiny pumpkins and bittersweet.

Witch's Cauldron in Motion

With this eerie setup, your Halloween punch will come to life. Place tissue paper flames on top of a grapevine wreath, insert battery-operated LED lights, and then include a cauldron. Add dry ice to your pot along with your preferred Halloween cocktail for extra heat.
