Decorating a house for Halloween is not only a tribute to tradition, but also a great way to spend time with kids having fun. Especially if you do not use ready-made decor from the store, but rather fantasize and make such jewelry yourself. We offer you some original, but at the same time simple ideas for Halloween crafts, which can be easily implemented at home.
Crafts for Halloween with their own hands: variants of paper
Paper jewelry is very popular on All Saints' Day. And this is not surprising, because the paper is an affordable and pliable material. Most often, garlands, monsters and animals are cut from paper, flashlights. For example, cut out of a black paper silhouette of a witch or a cat will be a wonderful decoration for a window or wall. Another interesting paper variant is a flock of bats. Mice can be attached to a wall or fixed on a wire - it all depends on your imagination.
Variants of voluminous crafts for Halloween
If we talk about more complex and extensive decorations for the house, then reptiles, insects and arthropods are especially popular. In particular, spiders, which will be an excellent addition to the artificial web of torn gauze. In order to make a spider with your own hands you will need the following materials: a piece of felt, woolen threads, wire. Fold the felt into a tight roll and fix it with a thread, forming a head. Embroider your eyes and fangs with white threads. Then wrap up the six pieces of wire with a black thread and fix the resulting legs with superglue.
Another interesting version of voluminous crafts - a ghost of gauze. Prepare a small ball, an empty plastic bottle and a wire. From these materials, build a framework of the future ghost. Throw a piece of regular gauze on it and moisten it with water with starch. The uniformity of the application of the liquid will be provided by a conventional spray gun. Give the crafts to dry and draw a ghost "face" with a marker or paints.

Of course, the most traditional option is Jack's lantern from a pumpkin. It's enough to cut it out on a ready-made template, after cleaning the pumpkin from the entrails. But lamps, made of other materials, will look no less frightening. For example, you can take an ordinary glass jar or bottle and paint it with orange gouache. Cut out a muzzle or monster from a black paper and paste it on the container. Place a candle inside the jar and the original lamp is ready! As a basis for such a lantern you can also use bottles, glasses, plastic cans.
