4 Fun and Easy Halloween Crafts

Pumpkin Carving:

  • Buy a pumpkin and cut around the stem at an angle. Scoop out the insides and seeds.
  • Print out a stencil online or draw your own spooky face design. Tape it to the pumpkin.
  • Use a small saw or carving tools to cut out the face following your stencil.
  • Light a tealight or small candle and place inside the carved pumpkin.

Paper Bats:

  • Fold a sheet of black construction paper in half. Cut a half wing shape along the fold.
  • Unfold the paper and you will have a full bat shape. Repeat to make multiple bats.
  • Punch a hole near the top and string some fishing line through it. Hang the bats around your home.

Tissue Paper Ghosts:

  • Take several sheets of white tissue paper and wad them up loosely.
  • Place the tissue paper inside a plastic sandwich or grocery bag.
  • Tie the end tightly with a twist tie or ribbon. Cut off excess plastic.
  • Use a black marker to draw spooky eyes and mouth.
  • Tape to windows or hang from ceiling.

Painted Pumpkins:

  • Get orange terracotta pots from a craft store. Paint them orange if needed.
  • Use black paint and a paintbrush to paint a jack-o-lantern face onto the pot.
  • Add details like triangles for eyes and nose, jagged mouth and triangles for teeth.
  • Display your painted pumpkins on the porch, front steps or around the house.
