Create a unique project perfect for decorating your home or party this Halloween. Whether you want a few small ornaments or a showy centerpiece, the suggestions below are easy to design and make.
Make easy paper-mache ornaments shaped like mummy heads, witches’ faces, or whatever you want. Layer pieces of newspaper and glue over a Styrofoam ball, let dry, then paint. For a witch’s head, paint green, then add facial features and black yarn hair. For mummies, wrap in strips of white fabric and paint on features in black paint; for devil’s heads, use red paint and twist the top of the paper for horns. Glue a hook to the top of each and hang from an ornament tree.
A black cat paper-mache candy bowl is the perfect dish for serving trick or treater’s their sugary rewards. Layer glue and torn strips of newspaper over a balloon. Let dry, then release the air from the balloon.
Paint the paper-mache surface black, then glue construction paper features on the front, such as pointed ears, green eyes, etc. Or transform into a pumpkin using orange paint and black construction paper features, along with a top made from orange paper and a green pipe cleaner corkscrew stem.
For a simple Halloween banner, print free online Halloween images on card stock from any copyright-free site. Cut them out and add glitter along the edges and other details, then sew them to a long piece of ribbon or twine. String up across a window, wall, or entryway to greet your guests.
