DIY Halloween Decor

Halloween is such a fun holiday, and a fun time to decorate your home in an unusual way! I found three quirky, inexpensive, and easy Halloween decoration projects to do just in time for the holiday!


The first project is a spooky Halloween wreath! Following manufacturer's instructions, dye 5 yards of white pom-pom trim. Rinse and tumble dry. Cut the pom-poms off of the braided trim. Hot glue each individual pom-pom to an 8-inch foam ring. Next, hot glue wiggly eyes in varying sizes randomly onto the wreath. Fold a length of ribbon in half. Loop the folded ribbon through the center of the wreath and pass the ribbon ends through the ribbon loop. Tie the ribbon tails together to make a hanger.







You can create this adorable table centerpiece using either white or orange mini-pumpkins. Start by spraying your pumpkins with a clear acrylic varnish. This allows paint to stick to the pumpkins. Print out Halloween shapes and cut them out. Trace the shapes on the pumpkin using a permanent marker. Next, use black acrylic paint to fill in the design. Spray a final layer of clear varnish. Add the flying bats by cutting out bat shapes from black cardstock. Give them the flying affect by taping them to floral wire and sticking it into the pumpkin.





This beautiful centerpiece of chartreuse spider mums is accented with holiday candy corn. To create it insert a smaller, waterproof container filled with florist's foam and flowers inside a glass vase. Fill the space between the two vases with candy corn. You could also add other spooky holiday candies, like eyeball chocolates.




So there you have it, three easy holiday decorations! Remember to have fun and be creative this Halloween!
HAPPY FRIDAY! DIY Jill
