Easy Homemade Halloween Crafts

Halloween is a great time to get creative with homemade Halloween crafts. It’s also a fun time to involve the children and have them create their own scary creations. Making homemade Halloween crafts is a great way to decorate the home inexpensively. The best part is that you don’t usually need to go out and buy anything special because everything is already at home.

Even very young children can get involved with the crafts and they really will love it. Choose crafts that are simple enough for them to handle yet remain creative and it should be fine. Just be ready to put down lots of newspaper and monitor closely to prevent any messes.

Egg Carton Bats

One of the easier homemade Halloween crafts is to make bats out of egg cartons. This is practically no cost depending on how fancy you want to get with the bats. Take an 18 count egg carton and cut off sections so that each piece has three egg holders to make one bat.

The two egg holders on the sides are supposed to be the wings. Cut a scalloped shape on the front and back of the side sections to create the wing shapes. Small children might need some help with the cutting but older children should have no problem doing this part. You could even use craft scissors to give a little more shape to your wings.

Make a hole in the center of the middle egg holder so that you can later hang it up. Now paint the egg holders black. After the paint has dried, stick on eyes or use two pieces of white paper with black dots to make eyes. The children can get creative by adding fangs, glittery wings and other personal touches to their bats. String up the bats from ceilings, fans, lamps and the inside of windows (or even outside in the trees).

Invitations

Having a Halloween party? Homemade Halloween crafts often include clever invitations. This is one of those easy homemade Halloween crafts that children always love to participate in. Trace around the children’s hands onto a piece of cardstock or construction paper. The card can be any color, brown or mustard yellow for monsters, or green for witches. Silver or white can be used for ghost hands.

Stick on fingernails with scrap cardstock or paper. Monster nails can be black or gray and square shaped. Witches nails can be more colorful and longer; and for the ghosts, silver or gray are the best colors to use. Decorate the hands however you think monster, witch or ghost hands should look like. You can add wrinkles, scars, cuts or even fake blood. Write your invitation on the reverse side, hand them out and they are sure to be a huge hit.

Between carving pumpkins, dressing in costumes, and creating decorations, Halloween has certainly become a great holiday for families to be creative and spend time together. Making homemade Halloween crafts is an exciting way to fill the holiday and ooze with Halloween spirit!
