Unleash your creative side with these simple DIY Halloween decorations to set the spooky mood in your home.

Paper BatsThese fluttering winged critters are an asset to any space. Paste them on a vacant wall or hang them from the ceiling to mimic them in their natural habitat, grazing across the night sky.

Painted PumpkinsYou won’t be needing to gather a knife, scoop, or chisel to decorate your pumpkins for this craft. Set the pumpkin carving kit aside this year and make one of these stunning painted pumpkins instead. Peruse through these pumpkins in the hopes that they’ll inspire you to create something truly special with your family this October.

Mini Ghost GarlandThe mini ghosts on this Halloween banner are a cute and quick addition to a styled mantel, cart, or simply haunting on a wall or door. All you need to make this banner is some cheesecloth, plastic golf balls, hot glue, and a black marker.

Skeleton Bubble BathThis cute and clever skeleton will be the epicenter of your home decor. If you wanted to make it a little spookier, consider adding a smoke machine and a black light. You could even set up a speaker to play bubbling noises on loop to bring the scene to life.
