Halloween will be here before we know it! If you’re searching for family-friendly Halloween crafts you can enjoy making with loved ones, we have some great recommendations. Check out the following ideas for a fun DIY experience: 

Swirling Bats Snow Globe

Who says snow globes are just for winter? These swirling bat snow globes are perfect for spicing up the fall season! This craft is simple enough for even the youngest DIYers to help, and is made with just a few simple craft store supplies. You’ll need a mason jar, hot glue or e600, distilled water, glycerin, and Halloween-inspired ornaments and glitter for this cute project. 

Rainbow Spider Pumpkin

Pumpkins are a fall staple, and this rainbow spider pumpkin looks beautiful either indoors or outdoors. This non-creepy project is excellent for little ones who want to play with paint and enjoy bright colors. All you’ll need for this DIY craft is a craft store pumpkin, spray paint, plastic spiders, and a hot glue gun. A tarp is also helpful for minimizing mess. 

Halloween Handprints 

These Halloween handprints are perfect as decorations now and keepsakes for the future. Using a tracing of your loved one’s hand, your family can create Halloween-themed characters such as Frankenstsein’s monster, vampires, ghosts, or pumpkins! Slap some googly eyes on these cut-outs, and they’ll look great on the fridge or wall. 

Cardboard Haunted House

Looking for a way to reuse those Amazon boxes that have been piling up? This haunted house is a great way to reduce, reuse, and recycle! Using cardboard boxes, paper towel rolls, and construction paper, you and your family can craft a spooky castle. Keep the top open for stashing candy! 

Twig Wreath

A web-covered twig wreath looks awesome on the front door, and the whole family can have fun on a scavenger hunt to gather the twigs. In addition to the sticks, all you’ll need are a cardboard wreath form, some glue, and faux spider webs. This craft is one you can save for future years, or do it all over again next fall!
