It is impossible not to note the fact that this Western holiday in Russia does not carry any specific subtext, but rather is another reason for holding an unusual costume party!

This article is constantly updated with new ideas!

To make the party a success, you need to create the appropriate atmosphere, with costumes everything is generally clear, but what about the decor of the room? It is about Halloween decor that will be discussed in this review.

By the way, reviews on Halloween decorations have already been published on our website, you can read, and also Well, today I will bring to your attention some fresh, and easy-to-execute ideas regarding the thematic decoration of the house for October 31 - the day of Halloween.

How to make Halloween decorations

✔ Bats

It is necessary to prepare: black paper, scissors, double-sided tape, thread, printer or pencil.

How would this holiday be without flying vampires!? We print bats on black paper (you can use the templates below) or draw by hand. We cut and fix on the walls, doors and windows with double-sided tape. Mice can be hung by the wings on threads from a chandelier or doorknobs.

✔ Ghost shadow or dark silhouette

It is necessary to prepare: black paper, pencil, scissors, double-sided tape.

If there are steps in the house, you can create the effect of a frozen ghost. To do this, we take sheets of black paper, and on each of them we draw a part of an ominous shadow, then we cut out the elements of the future ghost and fix it on the end parts of the steps (see photo). I think you won’t have any problems with the torso when drawing (just draw a shapeless hoodie), but the profile of the head may not work, so the silhouette of a female and male head is shown below.

✔ Mummies from the crypt

It is necessary to prepare: full-length mannequins, bandages, strong tea.

We soak the bandages in strong tea, then dry them, and wrap the mannequins, not forgetting to leave the ends of the bandages hanging carelessly (as if they were frayed by time). Mummy mannequins can be laid down or placed against a wall.

✔ Halloween decorations - garden wheelbarrow with bones

It is necessary to prepare: garden wheelbarrow, earth or sand, plastic bones.

If Halloween is planned to be celebrated in a country house, then in addition to the house, you can also decorate the garden plot. We go to the store for pranks, get a bag of plastic bones, pour earth or sand into the garden wheelbarrow, into which we casually bury the plastic bones.

✔ Zombies burrowed into the ground

It is necessary to prepare: old trousers, jeans or pants, socks, thread, sand.

Another interesting element for the decor of the yard. We sew each trouser leg with threads from the bottom, fill them with sand, sew them on top, put socks on the resulting legs, set them upside down on the lawn.


✔ Zombie pumpkins for the lot

Need to find: pumpkins, knife, spoon, street candles.

We cut off the lid on top of the pumpkin with a knife, take out the pulp with a spoon, cut out terrible faces on the side of the pumpkin with a knife, install street candles inside, close the lid, find a suitable place for them near the house!


✔ Ominous pumpkins for home

Need to buy: pumpkins, black spray paint or marker, masking tape templates.

Using adhesive tape, we fix a template-mug on the side of the pumpkin, paint the template part with black paint from a spray can. The resulting pumpkins can be placed around the house - on the floor, tables, window sills, mantelpieces.

✔ Glamor pumpkins

Transparent glue moment or glue gun, rhinestones of different sizes, a small plastic spider.

Using glue, we fix rhinestones in the form of a cobweb on the pumpkin, and somewhere on top we fix a plastic or rubber spider.

✔ Mummy Pumpkin

It is necessary to prepare in advance: pumpkin, bandages, toy eyes, glue moment.

We wrap the pumpkin with bandages, not forgetting to fix the toy eyes on the penultimate layer with the glue of the moment. You can partially smear the bandages with red gouache, then the pumpkin will turn out a little more awesome! halloween photo decoration

✔ Faces on toilet paper

Need to purchase: toilet paper rolls, black paper, scissors, glue.

We cut out interesting faces from black paper (see photo below), fix the resulting elements with glue on toilet paper rolls.

✔ Cocktail witch hat

It is necessary to prepare: black paper, a compass or two round glasses of different diameters, scissors, glue on paper, a toothpick.

On black paper, we draw with a compass two circles of different diameters, the one that is larger we leave as the base of the hat, the one that is smaller is cut in half and folded into a cone (we coat the side line of the cone with glue), after which we tuck the lower part of the cone inward, and also coat it with glue, then glue the cap to the base of the hat. At the end, we pierce the base of the hat with a toothpick, and decorate cocktails, snacks or just plates with the resulting product.


✔ Skull masks

It is necessary to prepare in advance: white paper, pencil, scissors, adhesive tape, a long wooden skewer.

We draw the outline of the skull with a pencil (see photo below), cut it out with scissors, and glue a skewer to the base of the mask with adhesive tape. It turns out a mask with a handle. By the way, everyone can paint such masks with colored markers to their liking. You can even hold a competition for the most spectacular mask!

✔ Decorative broom

Need to stock up: scissors, coarse rope, thin branch.

We take a coarse rope, fold it in half, cut it with scissors, apply the resulting bristle to a thin stick, and tie it with the same coarse rope. Such miniature decorations can be placed around the house or decorate plates for the table.

✔ Footprints around the house

You should prepare: black paper, printer, scissors, double-sided tape.

We print footprints on the printer (template below), cut them out and disperse them throughout the house - floors, walls, furniture.

✔ Witch table or shoe table legs

You should prepare: shoes with pointed toes, striped stockings.

We pull striped knee-highs on the table legs, and already we “shoe” old boots on them. Everything, the witch's table is ready!

✔ Home decor templates

We print or redraw templates, cut them out and stick them wherever you can stick something on double-sided tape (windows, doors, walls, refrigerator, beds, chairs, tables). Sample patterns are shown below (black cats, witch hats, spiders and ghosts).

✔ Ghosts

How to do without ghosts? After all, they add a special flavor. I bring to your attention a few simple ideas for making ghosts.

Ghost from the book. We cut out the silhouette of a ghost on the book page (we don’t cut it off completely, we leave the sheet intact at the base), bend it up.

Napkin ghost. We take a napkin, put something round inside - a large bead or a small nut, wrap a makeshift head with a thread, draw eyes and a mouth with a marker, hang the ghost from the chandelier.

Whatman Ghost. We take whatman paper, draw the outline of a ghost, cut it out with scissors, draw eyes, nose and mouth with a marker, fasten the product to the wall with adhesive tape.

✔ Witch stocks

Need to prepare: glass jars of different sizes, paper, a pen or pencil, scissors, a lighter, toy fingers or dried grass, dyes, water, glue.

Here, in general, everything is very simple, tinted water is poured into the jars, and a label with the name of the potion is glued to the end of the glass container. It can be a forgetfulness potion, a love potion, a luck potion. Also, chopped dried grass can be poured into jars and labels can be signed according to its name.

✔ Black spiders

Should be prepared: cones, black paint in a spray can, white beads, instant crystal glue, pompoms, black chenille wire.

First you need to paint the cone black, glue the pompom head to it, glue the beaded eyes here, and the paws made of chenille wire to the body.



✔ Egyptian mummies

Need to prepare: ready-made doll toys or wire, rag tape or bandage.

In the case of a doll, you just need to wrap the toy with a bandage. Also, a mummy can be made of wire - by creating a frame with legs, arms and a head, and then wrapping it all with several layers of bandage or white textile tape.

✔ Spider webs (web)

It is necessary to prepare: disposable plate, hole punch, woolen threads, scissors.

We cut out the central part of the plate with scissors, create a lot of holes along the edges with a hole punch, into which we then thread a woolen thread, twisting the threads together.



✔ Wreaths on the door with snakes

You should prepare: willow vine, toy snakes, hot glue gun, black spray paint.

From the branches we form a ring, then we glue a lot of small snakes to its end part, and at the end we paint the product with black paint.

✔ Ominous predictions (exclusively for decoration)

Need to prepare: cups for tea or coffee, brewing tea or ground coffee, PVA glue, skewer, brush.

You can make a prediction from Harry Potter with makeup, for this, in a cup of tea with a brush, draw the outline of the makeup, and immediately sprinkle it with tea leaves, leave to dry. The same can be done with ground coffee.

We fill it with cotton wool and weave it with red acrylic paint.

Attach the spider with black thread.

Halloween interior decoration with a spider is ready. On the reverse side, you can make a loop out of the thread and hang it on the wall.

05. Plasticine zombie toad - an unusual craft for Halloween

One word zombie scares many, but not on Halloween day, when there are many costumed characters around, beautiful, but terrifying, decorations and fun festivities. It is for this holiday that the craft proposed in this lesson is timed. Making a figurine is easy from plasticine. It is unusual, kids with their parents or teenagers on their own blind it with pleasure.

What is this one? On the one hand, this is a toad - a witch's companion, living in a swamp, covered with warts, croaking from morning to evening, on the other, it is a faceless zombie that destroys everything in its path. How to combine both of these images in one craft, see below.

What you need to have on hand to create the proposed figurine:

  • green and purple plasticine;
  • black, white, red and orange plasticine.

How to make a plasticine toad zombie

In this lesson, it is planned to sculpt a frog, but it will be unusual, with red eyes and purple warts. She will have a themed cap on her head. To create a toad, you need to prepare green plasticine. First knead part of the mass in your hands and proceed to sculpting.

Make the torso widening towards the top. First it will be a sausage, then sharpen one end of it. To show the reinforced hind legs, make 2 voluminous thighs and 2 flippers. These green parts are the largest, so most of the prepared green plasticine can be used for their production.

Attach the thighs on both sides of the torso, pressing down on the largest part - the torso. Dock with flippers from below, spread them apart.

Now cover the entire body and legs with purple warts - these will be dots of different sizes. Tear off pieces from the main bar, make pellets out of them and fasten in random order to the main workpiece.

At the top of the main part, make a terrifying toad face, which should look like a zombie. Attach red eyes, make a scarred mouth.

Now form an additional accessory that will show our figure's belonging to the Halloween holiday - a witch's hat and a small pumpkin. Make a cake and a cap in black or purple, connect in the form of a high hat.

Pulling pieces of white plasticine into thin threads, make a web and glue it to the front of the hat. Now we got a real witch's hat, which lay in the chest of drawers along with the spiders. Glue the pumpkin to the fields.

Glue the headpiece on top. And also make the second paws for the toad. If we sculpted an ordinary frog, we would show that the amphibian sits and leans on its front paws with flippers. In this lesson, we are sculpting zombies, so glue the front paws on the sides, but do not lower them down, but lift them up, pull them forward and lower the flippers down.

Here is such an unusual Halloween souvenir made from the most ordinary children's plasticine.

Now you can give it to a friend, even play it to make everyone have fun. Fantasize and create new images.

06. How to make a plasticine bat

Have you ever been able to see in detail the appearance of a bat? These animals fly over our heads as soon as it starts to get dark on the street, we are even afraid of them, because we are afraid of everything connected with darkness and the unknown. Of course, it is almost impossible to see this nimble night robber at night.

This tutorial shows how to make a plasticine craft for Halloween in the form of a bat. She will be black, severe. It is advisable to lower it upside down, this is how these night “swallows” live under roofs and in caves. see here.

07. Composition for Halloween - grave with a ghost

No need to go to the cemetery at night, catch bats and toads, hunt ghosts. They don't really exist anyway. But a fun composition, where all this will be present, can be done. No need to be afraid of witches or vampires, listen to strange sounds at night, because during the day all this becomes quite understandable. This should be taught to your children. see here.

When preparing for Halloween, you often want to add some zest to decorating your home or creating gifts. And to arouse even more interest in children, you can surprise them with an unusual design of sweets, while using your imagination and all the variety of confectionery.

If you are also striving for this, then this master class will certainly be interesting and useful to you. And the creation of such a package will take you a minimum of effort. So, today we will make a Halloween gift in the form of a candy ghost.

12. How to mold plasticine ghosts

Agree, not every day children create witches, vampires or ghosts with their own hands, as in this case. Therefore, on the one hand, it is very interesting, on the other hand, there is a reason to stop being afraid of dark demons. A white ghost with black holes instead of eyes is a classic. Very often these creatures are depicted as such, but why not make your own version, for example, purple, like ours. So, in this lesson we are blinding two figures of different colors in narrow witch hats - white and purple. - see here.

13. How to make a bat corner bookmark

Although in fact bats are harmless, they are still afraid, like everything else that is associated with darkness, night and something unknown. And since this is the case, such a night animal is an excellent object for copying when it comes to crafts for the day of evil spirits. Together with children, you can make an unusual and functional bookmark in the form of a corner that imitates a vampire bat. see here.

14. Pumpkin in a plasticine hat

Pumpkin is considered a symbol of the day of evil spirits. It just can be made with your own hands from plasticine. And so that the kids are not at all afraid, we will make a cute face, put on a funny themed hat on top and, of course, have fun while working. It is not necessary to do an evil craft, because our task is to teach the child something good and humane. see here.

First of all, Halloween is a holiday for children. For who else loves dressing up as fairy-tale characters so much? Who else believes in fairy tales like that? For little pranksters, a Halloween party can be just as exciting as a New Year's party. And you can also create interesting and simple Halloween crafts together.

In this master class, we will make a spider from lollipop. Such crafts are very popular with children, so they are happy to participate in their creation.

For the master class we need:

  • Chupa Chups;
  • black chenille wire;
  • eyes.

We twist the handle for our lantern from the wire. We also make a ring of wire under the neck of the jar and attach our handle to it. We decorate the neck with green braid. We put a candle in the jar. Our pumpkin lantern is ready! Very fast and efficient!


2) Garland of ghosts

We will need:

White napkins

Something round (in my case it's candy)

Thread and needle

black marker

To create the head of our ghost, you can use ping-pong balls, cotton swabs, large beads, etc. I used candy.


We place the candy in the center of the napkin, wrap it around and fix it with a thread. Draw the eyes with black marker. There was a little ghost.


If we make a garland of several, then we thread a needle and thread through each ghost. The garland is ready!


3) Paper Pumpkin
