I’m not the biggest Halloween person, and that means I have very little by the way of home decor. Just the other day my daughter was super disappointed when she asked to help me decorate and I pulled out my meager wreath and a few spooky candle holders. Whoops! But never fear, Halloween DIY’s are here! I’ve found some fun ways to decorate to get you in the Halloween spirit.

4. DIY Floating Witch Hat Luminaries
Take your decor outside with these Floating Witch hates that light up! They are simple to construct, using only LED lights, some cheap witch hats and fishing wire to hang. If you love a spooky house, then these are a must to welcome your Trick or Treaters come Halloween.

5. Trick or Treat!
What’s not to love about this porch!? The paper bats, the simple Trick and Treat boards, and the spooky ghosts. Oh, and did you catch the spider web on the ground? This has all the elements of Halloween, without being super scary. I’ve included this on my DIY list because those Trick or Treat boards are an easy peasy DIY. You can get the wood from your local hardware store, use stencils or vinyl letter to spell out “Trick” and “Treat” and easily paint them black. Who wants to give this a try?

6. Bat Bouquet
There’s something a little inherently creepy about curly willow, and this bat bouquet really uses that to it’s advantage! Simple bats are cut out of construction paper, and then added to a rice filled vase of willow stems. Once Halloween is over, just remove the bats and keep those gorgeous willow stems year round! (they’ll be less creepy without those little bats!)
