It's time to bring out the spooky decorations and get ready for Halloween! But if you're like most people, you don't have a lot of money to spend on store-bought decorations. That's why we've put together a list of spooky DIY Halloween decorations that you can make on a budget.

Get your crafting supplies ready and let's get started!

Bush Eyes

Looking for a spooky, yet easy and cheap, Halloween decoration? Bush eyes are perfect! All you need are two plastic pumpkin buckets (available at most stores for just $1), aluminum foil, white spray paint, black paint, and red paint.

To make bush eyes, first flip over the plastic pumpkin buckets and cover the middle part that sticks out with aluminum foil. Tape the edges. Then, spray paint the buckets white.

Next, remove the aluminum foil and use it to trace around a bowl or jar lid to create a black circle in the center of each bucket. Finally, paint creepy red veins emanating from the black circles.

Your bush eyes are now complete! Place them in your bushes or trees for a spooky Halloween decoration that is sure to impress your guests.

Glowing Mummy Hands

A mummy's hand is the perfect decoration for a spooky Halloween party. All you need is some masking tape, a drinking straw, scissors, and a glow stick or mini-lights with batteries.

To make a glowing mummy hand, start by wrapping the masking tape around your wrist and palm, sticky side out. Wrap all the way to your fingers, then do it again with the sticky side down. Once your entire hand is covered (twice), take the scissors and run them up the straw to your palm. Be gentle and take your time!

Pinch the tips of the tape at your fingers and wiggle the tape shell off of your hand. Tape this closed again. Turn on your glow stick or battery-operated lights and place them inside of the tape hand. Your spooky mummy hand is now ready to scare all your party guests!

Jack O'Lantern Archway

Halloween isn't complete without some spooky decorations! If you're looking for a fun DIY project to add some Halloween flair to your home, try making a Jack O'Lantern archway.

All you'll need are 30 plastic pumpkin buckets, (2) 10'x1/2" PVC pipes, (1) 1/2" PVC coupler, (2) 4'x1/2" rebars, a drill, 7/8" paddle bit, rubber mallet, and all purpose cement (for PVC).

First, use the paddle bit to drill a hole in the bottom of each pumpkin bucket. Next, connect the rebar and PVC pipes together using the cement and rubber mallet. Then, slide the pumpkins onto the pipes until they are all on the archway. Cut off any excess pipe with a hacksaw and you're done!

Not only is this archway easy to make, it's also super affordable. So why not give it a try this Halloween?

Lettered Halloween Sign

Are you looking for some spooky DIY Halloween decorations? This Lettered Halloween Sign is perfect for adding a little bit of holiday flair to your home.

To make this sign, you'll need a circle craft shape, Baltic birch wood letters, a paper template, and some paint. First, paint the wood letters with the color of your choice. Then, use the paper template to mark the placement of the letters on the circle craft shape. Once you've marked the template, glue the letters in place.

This sign is a great way to add a personal touch to your Halloween decor. It's also a fun project to do with kids!

Concrete Pumpkins

Another pumpkin idea for your Halloween decor this year is to make concrete pumpkins! These are super easy to make and only require a few materials that you likely already have around the house.

To make your own concrete pumpkins, mix up some concrete according to the package directions. You'll need one bag of concrete mix per four pumpkins. Add the concrete to the pumpkin candy bowl mold or pumpkin concrete mold, and shake it to help eliminate bubbles and settle the concrete.

If you want to create a bowl within the pumpkin, spray a small jar or cup with cooking non-stick spray and insert it into the mold. Add some concrete first, then add your jar, and fill it the rest of the way up. Just be careful that the jar doesn't touch the bottom of the mold, or else the hole will go all the way through the pumpkin!

Allow the concrete pumpkins to cure for at least one week, preferably in the sun. Once they're dry, use a utility knife to carefully cut away the mold. And that's it – your very own DIY concrete pumpkins!

Halloween Wreath

With just some cheap supplies and a little creativity, you can make your own spooky DIY Halloween decorations!

For this project, you'll need 9 plastic skeleton hands, a small chalkboard circle, hot glue, a chalk pen, and silver spray paint. First, apply a few even layers of silver spray paint to the hands.

Next, use hot glue to attach the hands around the chalkboard. Then, use the chalk pen to create a design in the center. Finally, if needed, attach string to the back for hanging.

With just a few simple steps, you've created your own unique and spooky Halloween decoration! You can see how easy it is to get creative and make your own DIY Halloween decorations on a budget.

Wire Pumpkin Wreath

Pumpkins, spiders, and a bow — oh my! This wreath is perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of spookiness to their Halloween decor.

To make this wreath, you'll need a wire frame, some fabric, and ribbon. You can find a wire frame at any craft store, and the fabric and ribbon can be sourced from the dollar store or any other retailer.

To start, cut the fabric into four pieces and place the wire frame over one of them. Then, sew the fabric to the wire frame using a needle and thread. Once you've sewn the fabric to the top and bottom of the pumpkin, gather the fabric on the sides and clip it in place with a binder clip. Then, tie thread around the clipped fabric and trim the excess fabric.

Finally, make a bow out of the ribbon and attach it to the wreath. And that's it! You've now got a spooky, DIY Halloween wreath that's sure to impress your guests.
