DIY Halloween ideas

Time for arts and crafts!

Hey lovelies! How is everyone's month of October so far? Anything exciting? I know yesterday was October the Third...ring a bell for you Mean Girl fans out there?


Haha, sorry I just had to include that in here! But anyways! Lets jump right into what this post is all about: Cute DIY ideas for Halloween. Usually, I personally think that the simpler the idea, the better. So for instance, lets say you want to add a Halloween vibe to your kitchen but don't want to spend money. What can you do? I've got an idea! So, you'll need a sharpie and some oranges. Simply draw on a little face on your oranges and decorate them in a presentable way that will be noticed by guest. It is honestly such a simple and quick DIY and takes less than five minutes. It adds a cute vibe to your kitchen and all you did was simply decorate your oranges!
Another quick and simple DIY would be a Kleenex box of popcorn. I know, it sounds strange but its really quick and easy to do! So, obviously, what you need is an empty Kleenex box, decorating utensils, glue, paint, scissors, zip blog bag and construction paper. Now, the way you decorate your tissue box is really up to you. The easiest "monster" that I feel is easy to make would have to be Frankenstein. First, start off by cutting off the top portion of the Kleenex box. Now, this step is optional, you can start off by painting the inside of your box with paint and let it dry or just skip this step and go on to the next. The reason why I feel like you should add plastic to your box is that so when you're eating out of this Kleenex box you wont get disgusted by the grease marks of the popcorn on the inside cardboard of the Kleenex box. Its just to keep it looking nice and polished. Then, cut the sides of your sip blog bag and you should have to pieces. Cut off the "zip" part and clue the plastic to the walls of the inside of your Kleenex box. Grab another zip blog bag and do the same thing to the other two sides of the inside of the Kleenex box. Once that is done, start decorating the outside of your box! You can paint it, cut out shapes of your construction paper and glue it on, add glitter, and just anything to make your box have a Halloween vibe to it! Next, just add popcorn in the Kleenex box and you're done!
Next DIY idea is a jar full of candy. This is beyond self explanatory. Just simply find a jar with or with out the lid, fill it up with candy, and bam you're done! Obviously, if you'd like to paint the jar, hmm let's say black, and add a cool logo to it like "elixir" or something like that, go for it! Just have fun with decorating the jar to your liking.
Last DIY is Goodie cups! What you will need is some plastic cups, paint, glue, scissors, and colorful pipe cleaners for arts and craft. So first start off by painting the outside and inside of your cups any color. Let it completely dry. Then, with your scissors or a hole punches, cup to holes at the side of the cup towards the top of the cup. Like, probable half and inch away from the top of the cup. Next, cut out shapes and paste them to the cup and decorate to your liking. Finally, Tie the pipe cleaners to the side of the cup and you're done! You can fill these cups up with candy and pass it out to your guests and what not. It is very cute and very easy to make!
