5 DIY Halloween Decoration Ideas
Whether you’re throwing a Halloween party or simply want to spook your trick-or-treaters, scary decorations are a must. But rather than dusting off the same old skeleton year after year, why not get in touch with your creative side?
If you want to know how to make cheap decorations for Halloween, keep reading. We’ve rounded up 5 of our favorite DIY Halloween decorations to inspire your own!
1. Ghoulish Garland
When it comes to decorating the inside or outside of your home, garlands are a quick and easy way to add maximum impact. Forget your traditional festive garlands, however. When it comes to Halloween, you want to up the fear factor with imagery like ghosts, skeletons, or anything else that makes your hair stand on end.
For this Halloween DIY idea, we recommend using ghost graphics available in BeFunky’s huge Graphic Library. Then, all you have to do is print and cut out each image, before attaching them to the string.
2. Custom Halloween Labels
Throwing a Halloween party gives you a great chance to get creative with how you display your food and drinks to your party guests. While spooky puns are a must, so too should be Halloween-themed labels – whether for homemade beverages or each of your dishes.
In this example, we used a blank canvas and added our own shapes, graphics, and text to create the perfect Halloween-inspired labels. Too easy!
3. DIY Hanging Bat Decorations
Here’s another cheap decoration for Halloween that you’re going to love! Using a simple bat graphic from BeFunky’s Graphic Library, you can print out several copies, cut each bat out, and then attach it to some string. Simply tie your hanging bats to tree branches, your front porch, your light fixtures, or just about anywhere else you can think of!
4. Printable Pumpkin Carving Stencils
It’s just not Halloween without your very own jack-o'lantern, but carving one from hand can be a little bothersome without a guide. To help you perfect this vital Halloween decoration, you can use our Graphic Designer to create your own pumpkin carving stencil. This can then be printed and attached to your pumpkin to help you get those creepy eyes and smile just right!
5. DIY Halloween Banners
Store-bought Halloween party banners are popular, yet they also lack originality. If you want a Halloween banner that’s one-of-a-kind to wow your party guests, consider designing your own. Doing so is way easier and more affordable than you think – especially when you’ve got BeFunky’s Graphic Designer at your fingertips.
Simply start with a blank canvas in your banner’s desired measurements, then add in your text and graphics. Or, you can select a predesigned Halloween template and resize it to fit your required banner dimensions. Then, just edit any pre-existing text to customize it for your needs.
