The weather is right to set the Halloween mood, but figuring out where to start with your home decorations can be a real fright. Fret not, though. My Kolkata has curated a list of quick, easy and budget-friendly DIY Halloween décor ideas that you can complete in minutes to give your home a spooky makeover and leave your friends and family screaming at the party!
Threads, paper and scary pumpkins
No Halloween decoration can be complete without spooky pumpkins stacked up around your house. If you have some orange chartpaper, a scissor, marker pen and thread — then you can have the scariest yet most adorable looking wall hanging decor.
Turn discarded balls into lamps
If you have kids, then there are probably a few discarded playing balls lying around your house. Don’t throw them away just yet. Dab one with glue, wrap it in bandages — and before you know it, you have a quirky, bizarre and quite spooky DIY lamp to light up your nook.
A balloon pumpkin
This one can be a bit tricky, but if you master the art, it can be a real treat for the eyes! All you have to do is handle the balloon carefully, tie a thread around it to give it the perfect shape, and coat it with tissue soaked in a mixture of glue and water. The rest should fall into place without much trouble.
Spooky air-dry clay decor
If you love to make art with air-dry clay, then this decor idea is just for you. Buy autumnal shades and give them a shape into spooky spirits, scary pumpkins, mysterious bats and a bizarre witch hat!
Low-budget Halloween art for rookies
Not an expert at art and have no idea where to start? Paint your palms red, leave their impressions on a sheet of white paper, cut them out and… you’re done!
