DIY Halloween crafts and decorations. Spectacular Halloween decorations or the best Halloween decor DIY Halloween at home: a ghost floating in the air

Halloween is not an official holiday in our country. However, the catchy outfits and stunning surroundings of this day cannot leave Russians indifferent. On the night of November 1, more and more people take to the streets dressed as monsters or ghosts, and the windows of houses and apartments are decorated with jack-o'-lanterns.

Stores offer a wide range of holiday paraphernalia, but it will be much more interesting (and cheaper) to make Halloween crafts with your own hands. Moreover, many of them do not require special materials or skills.

Decorating the room

For afterlife themed parties, you can create some themed items. DIY Halloween crafts can be created in just a few hours, and then can be used annually until you want to come up with something new.

Garland

A simple decoration in the form of a garland will immediately transform the room. It is enough to stretch a rope or ribbon from wall to wall and decorate it with homemade ghosts, and the atmosphere will immediately become ominous and mystical. To create a restless spirit, you will need a square of any white fabric. As a base for the head, crumple a sheet of paper, giving the lump a spherical shape. Place it in the center of a square of fabric, wrap it in it and tie it with a thread at the “neck”. That's all. All that remains is to draw a pair of eyes or an ominous face. There is an even simpler option - you can cut ghosts from a strip of paper after folding it like an accordion. Other Halloween symbols can also serve as the basis for the garland: pumpkins, bats or spiders.

Ghost

Making separately hanging ghosts is also easy: you only need a small ball, a piece of gauze and PVA. The fabric is soaked in glue and wrung out. After which it is used to cover a ball lying on the neck of a jar or bottle. The structure must be stable. Pretty soon the gauze will dry to the shape you gave it. The jar or bottle is removed, and the finished ghost can be hung on a thin thread (fishing line) in the corner of the room. If there are several such figures, they look even more interesting.

Volumetric paper crafts for Halloween

You can make not only two-dimensional, but also three-dimensional crafts from paper. In particular, the pumpkin - the main symbol of Halloween - has several versions. The easiest way to make it is to glue it from paper. It's quick and even kids can do it.

Therefore, you can create these with children who already know how to use scissors or at least glue ready-made strips.

The pumpkin can be round or flat; for both options you will need orange and green colored paper.

The thickness of the strips, their length, shape and type of leaves - all this is at the discretion of the one who decided to create such crafts for Halloween. You can not only decorate the room with your own hands, but also create souvenirs for party guests - small pumpkin pendants.

Vampire bats

A must-know for those who make Halloween crafts themselves: it will always come in handy when it comes to everything mysterious and sinister. A flock of these bats immediately creates the atmosphere of an abandoned attic of an old house.

The easiest way to make a bat is from black paper or some similar material: cardboard, artificial leather, foamiran. It’s better to place vampires in a room in a group - it’s more believable.

Candles and candlesticks

Halloween-themed crafts can be not only purely decorative, but also functional. Thus, candles, decorated taking into account the peculiarities of the holiday, will become the main source of lighting on the most terrible night of the year. They can be painted with acrylic paints to depict a pumpkin, ghost or monster. And a candlestick can be easily made from a simple glass glass, painted in the same way.

pumpkin head

What would Halloween be without a pumpkin head grinning its unique smile? Anyone can make it from a real vegetable. To do this you will need a pumpkin, a knife and a little dexterity. The middle of the fruit is removed so that the remaining layer is 1.5-2 centimeters. Then the holes for the eyes, nose and mouth are carefully cut. Depending on your mood, your facial expression can be absolutely anything.

All that remains is to insert a light source inside your head, preferably a battery-powered flashlight.

Witch hat

While preparing crafts for Halloween, you can also create costume elements with your own hands. For example, a cap for a witch party or an evil sorceress costume. It consists of a flat ring (a circle with a hole in the middle, suitable for the size of the head) and a cone. Both can be easily cut out of thick cardboard, painted black and glued together. You can also create a witch's vehicle - a broom - from dry branches and a mop stick.

And something else…

What other paper crafts can you come up with for Halloween? Yes, any! Every item you come across can be turned into something Halloween-themed. Computer disks are modified into ghosts, shampoo bottles into vampires, and a trash can into Baba Yaga's mortar. All sorts of monsters are sewn, knitted, and sculpted from plasticine. By doing this seemingly useless task, you can find many new talents in yourself.

And creating crafts for Halloween with children is generally a real pleasure. They so joyfully create nightmare characters that in the process they themselves cease to be afraid of them.

On the night of October 31 to November 1, one of the oldest holidays in the world is celebrated - Halloween. This ancient Celtic celebration has an interesting history, original traditions and funny paraphernalia. The holiday strangely combines two traditions: the honoring of evil spirits and the worship of all saints.

In the USA, Europe and Canada, on this day it is customary to dress up in costumes of evil spirits, hold masquerades, light bonfires and build jack-o'-lanterns. It is not surprising that on the approaches to the famous holiday, many people have a question: how to make a pumpkin for Halloween? Today we will try to give you comprehensive instructions on how to make a Jack-O-Lantern.

Pumpkin is the main attribute of Halloween. Celebrants, as a rule, cut out ominous faces on the ripe fruit and insert a candle inside, constructing a kind of lantern. The habit of making vegetable lamps originated in Ireland and Great Britain. Celtic monks (Druids) made them from turnips, beets, rutabaga and used them to drive out evil spirits.

Initially, this ritual had nothing to do with Halloween, but in the 19th century, North America made it the main tradition of this holiday. Only instead of these vegetables they began to use pumpkin, since it symbolizes the harvest time. Americans named the jack-o-lantern the Jack-O-Lantern and made it the official symbol of Halloween.

Jack Lantern - who is he?

Before you start making a pumpkin for Halloween, you should familiarize yourself with the legend of Jack-O-Lantern, whose soul still wanders in search of peace.

According to legend, Jack led a miserable life as a lazy farmer, drunkard and thief. Fleeing once again with stolen goods from a crowd of angry peasants, he met the devil, who announced his hour of death. But Jack did not want to die and asked the messenger of hell to delay his death a little, offering in return to discredit the sinless peasants.

The insidious agreement was that the devil was supposed to turn into a gold coin with which Jack would pay for the stolen things. The coin will then disappear and the greedy villagers will start a fight to find out who stole it. The devil liked Jack's idea. He immediately turned himself into a gold coin and climbed into the thief's pocket.

But since the stolen item was a cross, the demon instantly lost his power. Jack released him on the condition that he would not take his soul to hell.

But when he died, his soul was not accepted either in heaven or in hell. Finding his way in the pitch darkness, Jack asked the devil for a lantern, to which he threw him several smoldering coals. The thief built a lamp from a pumpkin, put coals in it and began to wander between heaven and earth in search of peace. This is how the Jack Lantern appeared, commemorated annually on the night of November 1st.

How to Make a Halloween Pumpkin: Step-by-Step Guide

To make a Jack-O-Lantern you will need the following arsenal of available tools:

pumpkin;
cutting board;
knives (one long, one short with a thin, sharp blade);
spoon;
felt-tip pen, marker or stencil with a face;
candle.

Attention! Try to choose the freshest pumpkin. The skin of such a fruit has not yet hardened, which means it will be easier for you to carve patterns on it.

So that the lantern can not only fulfill its purpose on the day of the holiday, but also please the eye afterwards, check the pumpkin for the presence/absence of damage and rotten areas. At the same time, its shape and size do not matter.

Let's get started. The detailed process of making the lantern is shown in the photo.

Step 1. After choosing a pumpkin, cover the table with old newspapers or oilcloth, since carving the fruit is fraught with contamination.

Step 2. On the top of the pumpkin (around the stem), draw a circle or square with a marker to indicate the future hole. Make it large enough so that you can easily remove the pulp by hand or with a large spoon.

Step 3. Armed with a long kitchen knife, cut out the marked “cap”. This process must be performed at a slight angle so that you can cover the pumpkin with the cut off top, like a lid.

Step 4. Using a sharp-edged spoon, scoop out the pulp and seeds. Particularly work on the “front” part of the vegetable. The pulp in this area should be removed and leveled with a spoon until the wall thickness reaches two centimeters.

Step 5. Before making the Halloween pumpkin's face, use a felt-tip pen to draw the outlines of the eyes, nose, and mouth with a sinister smile on the skin. The eyes and nose are drawn in the form of three triangles, and the mouth is drawn in the shape of a crescent with two fangs.

Attention! Make the features of the face large and noticeable, otherwise they will be difficult to cut out.

If you have stocked up on a stencil, attach it to the fruit with tape or glue and transfer the design onto the pumpkin with dotted lines. To do this, you can use either a knife, a needle or a thin awl. After which the template can be removed.

Step 6. Taking a short knife with a thin blade in your hands, carefully draw it along the contour of the design. You need to cut slowly so as not to spoil the future lantern. The cut pieces can be pushed inside the pumpkin, or pry with a knife and pull forward. To ensure that the contours are smooth and clear, do not forget to scrape off the flesh protruding here and there with a knife.

To obtain a clear design, you can use special tools for carving vegetables.

Step 7. Having freed the pumpkin from the cut out pieces, fix the candle in its cavity and cover the fruit with a lid. The main character of Halloween, Jack-O-Lantern, is ready!

To make the pattern last longer, cover its contours with Vaseline or vegetable oil.
To keep your jack-o'-lantern fresh, soak it in water for a few hours.
Make several small holes in the lid of the fruit so that hot air flows out without frying the pumpkin from the inside.
Before use, place candles in the freezer for 2-3 hours - the lantern will burn longer.
To ensure that your Jack-O-Lantern not only burns, but also spreads a fragrance into the air, rub the inside of it with crushed cinnamon or nutmeg.

Attention! A cleaned and carved pumpkin will retain its decent appearance only for 3-5 days, so it is necessary to build the lantern on the day or the day before the holiday.

You can admire a variety of pumpkin ideas in the photos presented.

If you don’t know how to make an original Halloween costume at home, you can watch this. How to organize a party at home and what you need for this - read below.

What you need for Halloween

To make it immediately clear that today is not February 23, not March 8, guests and the host must dress appropriately. The scarier you look, the better. Welcome in black and pink tones, with streaks of blood. As for costumes, you have room to strive; the world knows many ghouls, boars, witches who have left their mark on history - Viy, Maria Stuart, Count Dracula, vampires and zombies.

Halloween decorations should be appropriate. Black bats, spiders, candles in candelabra and lots of cobwebs.

When organizing a holiday, it is worth thinking through the scenario, otherwise the party will become ordinary, including music and a lot of alcohol. It's worth saving a couple of ominous tunes. You can organize a competition for the scariest story and the best pumpkin. Or develop something like a quest where you need to find the mysterious will of a cannibal baron. You can tell fortunes on a book, hold a competition for the most terrible howl or dance of witches. Everything is in your hands, it is important that everyone is interested, and most importantly, scared.

How to decorate a room for Halloween

The traditional colors of the holiday are black and orange, so the paraphernalia should have corresponding shades. First, the site and the facade of the building are decorated. At this time of year, a lot of leaves fall to the ground. Do not burn it, but collect more of it to create the basis for decorative compositions.

Hang inflatable balloons covered with white sheets from the ceiling and paint the faces of makeshift ghosts.

If you need to decorate the entrance to your house for Halloween, place brooms. You can put a witch next to it, making it from scrap materials.

You can hang a wreath of hay or feathers painted black on the door. Don’t forget about the main attribute of the holiday – pumpkin. They can be purchased in huge quantities, made into candlesticks and placed throughout all living spaces.

Inflate black balloons, decorating them with ominous faces, wrap the chandelier with white threads, creating the illusion of a cobweb, and all glass surfaces can be painted at your discretion or have creepy inscriptions written on them. These Halloween decorations will please everyone.

If the house has a fireplace, then attention should be paid to it by placing gloomy stuffed animals, pictures, candles and jack-o-lanterns. You can cut out ghost figures from white cardboard and hang them in all places. Old books, chests, suitcases and paraphernalia of yesteryear will help decorate your home.

The main attribute of the holiday

The central symbol of the holiday, the pumpkin-lantern, appeared thanks to the Celts, who believed that these lanterns helped souls find their way to another world. Initially, turnips were used for this, but the Americans adapted zucchini, a type of pumpkin that was more accessible.

A pumpkin with a carved face and a candle placed inside is called a Jack O'Lantern. Allegedly, there lived a drunken blacksmith who was able to deceive the devil twice. Therefore, it began to act as a talisman against evil spirits, who, on the day from October 31 to November 1, leave their shelters and scare citizens.

Having creative abilities and extraordinary imagination, you can work with the zucchini so that the finished pumpkin head for Halloween will create a real sensation. First, it is better to draw a sketch on paper, and then transfer the drawing to the surface of the vegetable. Instead of trivial circles, square and round elements, you can cut out paintings, landscapes, and portraits. Crosses, stars and bats will be in theme. To win the fight for the best pumpkin, make a pumpkin monster that devours another fellow tribesman.

Victory will be in your hands if you make Jack the Pumpkin Snowman. All you need is a hat, an old shirt collar, a couple of buttons, markers, glue and a wine bottle cap. A Jack-o'-lantern can be made from paper by cutting it into strips and securing it on both sides, giving it the shape of a ball. The role of the leaves will be played by green velvet paper or thin fabric. Everyone will remember this Halloween pumpkin for a very long time!

What's a holiday without treats?

Everything about All Saints' Day should be spooky, including the food and cocktails. Boiled pasta with two eyes made from balls of Mozzarella cheese and two olives will look like a mummy. The same effect can be achieved by making sausages in the dough and leaving the ends peeking out so that you can put 2 eyes on them using mayonnaise.

Any cookies or crackers can be decorated according to the theme of the holiday using sauces, vegetables and fruits. You can decorate the sweet dessert with melted chocolate, drawing a spider web on it, and don’t forget to add gelatin worms.

Halloween food may be ordinary, but it needs to be decorated with a chilling twist. When baking cookies, try to shape them into bones. Whipped whites, when baked, will provide the product with an eerie natural appearance. Eggs can be boiled so that a mesh appears on their surface. And you can pass off grilled chicken wings as bat wings.

Drinks are given great importance. There are no recommendations for taste, but the color should fascinate with its eerie beauty, which means green absinthe, colorful liqueurs, and Grenadine syrup are suitable.

With the help of Baileys liqueur you can build brains in a glass, and dry ice will allow you to achieve the effect of a steaming glass. If you are freezing ice, put various plastic objects of the corresponding theme into the molds.

You can make an ice hand by filling a rubber glove with water and placing it in the freezer.

The same Grenadine and sugar can make a red rim on a glass, and a spider web, like on a cake, can be drawn on the glass walls with melted chocolate.

To implement the ideas you will need little money and time. The main thing is to approach it wisely and do it with friends. Good luck!

Perhaps because Halloween occurs in the fall, the pumpkin is the centerpiece of the day. This can be a decor item, a costume, or a children's craft. The main thing is to give a terrifying appearance, to scare everyone.

On our website we offer a craft option for young children, since they are the ones who love to sculpt from plasticine. You can make a pumpkin from an orange block, and not just one, but 3 pieces at once. You can also draw wonderful faces with plasticine and a toothpick on a soft surface. And also then make an unusual pyramid design, so to speak, a snowman out of pumpkins.

To create a Halloween decoration from plasticine, prepare:

orange and black plasticine;
toothpick

We will make the autumn fruits themselves from orange plasticine. Black will be needed for the eyes, and you can also put a black witch's cloak on the figure.

Divide the orange block of plasticine into 3 portions, but not equal, but gradually reducing the amount of mass in each of them. Mash each piece individually in your hands. Pumpkins will be made from them, they will become a kind of lumps for creating a snowman. The finished faces will need to be collected into a pyramid.

Roll the prepared pieces into balls. Then press down on top of each one with your palm to make the balls more flattened. It’s convenient to press out the veins with a toothpick.

Now turn each prepared part into a muzzle. It will not be just a vegetable, but a kind of specimen that forms one part of a single structure. The first largest pumpkin has a hard time, because it is located at the foot of the pyramid. Give her a nose, a distorted mouth and pits for the eyes.

Also, stick on a patch for decoration to show that the strongman pumpkin has burst more than once and has been sewn up to be repaired.

The second pumpkin is in the middle. It’s hard for her too, but not as much as the previous one. She is surprised and tries to gather her strength. Come up with a facial expression for her.

For decoration, make a black blot on the side.

Now comes the smallest and most cunning pumpkin, which completes the whole structure. She smiles and winks at everyone around her, her cheeks stand out, it’s not hard for her at all, because she doesn’t hold anyone on her.

When your pumpkin fantasy is ready, assemble your snowman. Glue one piece to another to size.

Mash a large amount of black plasticine in your hands, crush it with your fingers, pulling out a rectangular, very thin cake. From the prepared part we will make a long cloak with a cap. On one side, close the corners and smooth the seam with your fingers, pull out the sharp cap.

Glue the cape onto your head, or rather your face. The cap will be placed on the head and go down in the form of a long cape.

This witch is made from scrap materials - a plastic bottle, garbage bags and ribbons. The special thing about this one is that it can be used on Halloween to decorate your garden and yard.

The bat can be placed on any surface, or hung from the ceiling or door frame. The bigger, the better! They can be made from black bags, black tape, fabric and other materials.
