How nice it is to dilute the gray autumn days with a bright, warm and tasty holiday. Even though this holiday came to us from Celtic countries and its roots go far into Western history, this does not prevent residents of other countries from treating it with warmth.

In Russia, the attitude towards Halloween still remains ambiguous. Some people consider it an incomprehensible and uninteresting event, which only young people are interested in, while others are excitedly waiting for it to have fun from the heart!

In any case, you should start preparing for this holiday in advance. To make the party successful the desired style, you should first of all take care of the decor of the rooms in which it will take place. Unfortunately, there are very few places in Russia where you can buy decent decorations for this holiday.

It is best to order them online, although chain stores often add themed accessories to their assortment before the holiday. But you can do everything yourself. So, let's make our house scary beautiful for Halloween!

The most popular decorations were:

• Pumpkins with cut out eyes
• Webs and spiders
• Ghosts and witches
• The bats
• Walking zombies and mummies
• Brooms, magic wands and other belongings
• Black cats in all forms
• Candles, dry leaves and other attributes of autumn.

A pumpkin walked around the garden... and ended up at a party

The main attribute of Halloween, of course, is the pumpkin, and it has many options to make your wildest fantasies come true: it can be cut out in the shape of a head with a terrifying smile and crooked teeth, dressed up with an elegant hat, painted with paints, wrapped in bright threads or covered with black lace stockings - who cares? that he is capable.

Pumpkins will ripen in the fields in October. And you can bring one such huge fruit into the house, extract all the pulp, cut out the scary face and put a candlestick inside.

In the dark, such a head will look very scary.

Now you can make a real work of decorative art from a pumpkin. You can draw intricate shapes and patterns on it, either with paints or with a regular pen, to suit every taste. You can also cut beautiful lines across the entire surface or make fancy-shaped through holes so that the chiaroscuro from the candle creates beautiful patterns.

Pumpkins are perfect different colors, shapes and sizes. Large pumpkins should be placed near the entrance to the house. Smaller ones can be placed in rooms. They can be decorated with beads, sequins, rhinestones (suitable for light pumpkins) or fabric, bows and buttons (for bright orange pumpkins). On the surface you can depict drawings of spiders, cobwebs, bats, etc.

See how quickly and easily you can make a bat out of a pumpkin.

You can also cut out funny faces and scary pictures. Pumpkin can also be used as a flower vase. You can put asters, chrysanthemums and any other autumn flowers in it. Here you can also use rowan brushes and autumn leaves. Small pumpkins can be made into candlesticks. It will look very neat and cozy.

Perhaps because Halloween occurs in the fall, the pumpkin is the centerpiece of the day. This can be a decor item, a costume, or a children's craft. The main thing is to ask a terrifying appearance, scare everyone.

On our website we offer a craft option for young children, since they are the ones who love to sculpt from plasticine. You can make a pumpkin from an orange block, and not just one, but 3 pieces at once. You can also draw wonderful faces with plasticine and a toothpick on a soft surface. And also then make an unusual pyramid design, so to speak, a snowman out of pumpkins.

To create a Halloween decoration from plasticine, prepare:

• orange and black plasticine;
• toothpick

We will make the autumn fruits themselves from orange plasticine. Black will be needed for the eyes, and you can also put a black witch's cloak on the figure.

Divide the orange block of plasticine into 3 portions, but not equal, but gradually reducing the amount of mass in each of them. Mash each piece individually in your hands. Pumpkins will be made from them, they will become a kind of lumps for creating a snowman. The finished faces will need to be collected into a pyramid.

Roll the prepared pieces into balls. Then press down on top of each one with your palm to make the balls more flattened. It’s convenient to press out the veins with a toothpick.

Now turn each prepared part into a muzzle. It will not be just a vegetable, but a kind of specimen that forms one part of a single structure. The first largest pumpkin has a hard time, because it is located at the foot of the pyramid. Give her a nose, a distorted mouth and pits for the eyes.

Also, stick on a patch for decoration to show that the strongman pumpkin has burst more than once and has been sewn up to be repaired.

The second pumpkin is in the middle. It’s hard for her too, but not as much as the previous one. She is surprised and tries to gather her strength. Come up with a facial expression for her.

For decoration, make a black blot on the side.

Now comes the smallest and most cunning pumpkin, which completes the whole structure. She smiles and winks at everyone around her, her cheeks stand out, it’s not hard for her at all, because she doesn’t hold anyone on her.

When your pumpkin fantasy is ready, assemble your snowman. Glue one piece to another according to size.

Mash a large amount of black plasticine in your hands, crush it with your fingers, pulling out a rectangular, very thin cake. From the prepared part we will make a long cloak with a cap. On one side, close the corners and smooth the seam with your fingers, pull out the sharp cap.

Glue the cape onto your head, or rather your face. The cap will be placed on the head and go down in the form of a long cape.

This witch is made from scrap materials - from plastic bottle, garbage bags and ribbons. The special thing about this one is that it can be used on Halloween to decorate the garden and yard.

The bat can be placed on any surface, or hung from the ceiling or door frame. The bigger, the better! They can be made from black bags, black tape, fabric and other materials. You can simply buy a toy at the store. You can place a web nearby and place it on a small spider. It is convenient to make a web from gauze or thin woolen threads. Most guests will definitely be impressed.

How to make a Halloween decoration - a bat from corks

These bats are made from cork and black paper.

To bring your finished mice to life, don't forget to glue on the eyes!

Black Cats

Black cats like ancient symbol witchcraft will be appropriate always and everywhere. These can be stickers, cut-outs, toys, figurines and even drawings.

How to do black cat from plasticine - master class

You can make such a cat together with your children - they really like modeling from plasticine!

You should definitely think about mummies when you decorate your bathroom, kitchen and toilet. The element of surprise is important here. And since guests usually enter these rooms alone and relax, the effect will be very unexpected. Decorate your zombie costume with red spots, and you can even create a mummy from toilet paper.

Items related to magical world, can be placed evenly throughout all rooms, giving preference to the hallway and living room. These can be brooms, magic wands, old hats, bowlers, etc. The picture will be perfectly complemented by candles of different colors and shapes, wreaths of dry colorful leaves, as well as red apples and oranges.

An owl is one of the attributes of Halloween; it can also be molded from plasticine.

Feel free to decorate any candlestick!

Burn, burn clearly, so that it doesn’t go out! Candlesticks and candles are no less important objects at a Halloween party than a pumpkin. As a basis, you can take an ordinary candlestick from the IKEA range, and then as your rich imagination will tell you.

You can paint it, wrap it in a white bandage and pour red paint on it for a bloody effect, scrape a pattern of cobwebs onto the wax, stick on blanks in the shape of flies or bats - it’s all very simple!

How could there be no festive table???

Halloween is the perfect holiday for those who break the rules, and this also applies to table decor. Only on Halloween can you find severed fingers or dead spiders among delicious dishes. For those who prefer a more classic style, we recommend using autumn natural decorations: yellowed leaves, rowan trees, chestnuts, hay, etc. Burning candles on the table will add a mystical atmosphere.

This is a master class on how to decorate a table for Halloween.

It doesn't take much time or effort to decorate your home for Halloween. The main thing is a little creativity, good mood and company. Decorating a house in a terrifying style with a cheerful circle of friends is a good warm-up before a noisy party, isn't it?

How to Make Halloween Decorations

✔ Bats

You need to prepare: black paper, scissors, double-sided tape, thread, printer or pencil.

✔ Ghost shadow or dark silhouette

You need 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 attach them to the end parts of the steps (see photo). I think you won’t have any problems with the body when drawing (just draw a shapeless robe), but the profile of the head may not work out, so below is the silhouette of a female and male head.

✔ Mummies from the crypt

You need to prepare: mannequins in full height, 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 had been frayed by time). Mummy mannequins can be laid down or placed near the wall.

✔ Halloween decorations - garden wheelbarrow with bones

You need to prepare: garden wheelbarrow, soil or sand, plastic bones.

If you plan to celebrate Halloween in a country house, then in addition to the house, you can also decorate the garden plot. We go to a prank store, buy a bag of plastic dice, fill a garden wheelbarrow with soil or sand, into which we casually bury the plastic dice.

✔ Zombies buried in the ground

You need to prepare: old trousers, jeans or trousers, socks, thread, sand.

Another interesting element for courtyard decor. We sew up each trouser leg from the bottom with threads, fill them with sand, sew them up at the top, put socks on the resulting legs, and place them upside down on the lawn.

✔ Zombie pumpkins for the plot

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

Using a knife, cut off the lid on top of the pumpkin, scoop out the pulp with a spoon, use a knife to cut out creepy faces on the side of the pumpkin, place street candles inside, cover with a lid, and find a suitable place for them near the house! By the way, we have a separate review on the topic of manufacturing - paper, wood, concrete (12 different master classes).

✔ Ominous pumpkins for the home

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

Using tape, we attach a template-face to the side of the pumpkin, and paint the template part with black spray paint. The resulting pumpkins can be placed around the house - on the floor, tables, window sills, mantelpieces.

✔ Glamorous pumpkins

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

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

✔ Mummy pumpkin

You need to prepare in advance: pumpkin, bandages, toy eyes, glue moment.

We wrap the pumpkin in bandages, not forgetting to secure the toy eyes on the penultimate layer using instant glue. You can partially cover the bandages with red gouache, then the pumpkin will turn out a little more scary!

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), and attach the resulting elements to toilet paper rolls with glue.

✔ Witch hat for cocktails

You need to prepare: black paper, a compass or two round glasses of different diameters, scissors, paper glue, a toothpick.

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

✔ Skull masks

You must first prepare: white paper, pencil, scissors, tape, long wooden skewer.

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

✔ Decorative broom

You 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 bristles to a thin stick, and tie it with the same coarse rope. Such miniature decorations can be placed around the house or to decorate plates for the table.

✔ Footprints around the house

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

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

✔ Witch table or putting shoes on the table legs

You should prepare: shoes with pointed toes, striped knee socks.

We pull striped knee socks onto the table legs, and put old boots on them. That's it, the witch's table is ready!

We print or redraw the templates, cut them out and glue them wherever we can stick something with double-sided tape (windows, doors, walls, refrigerator, beds, chairs, tables). Examples of patterns are presented below (black cats, witches hats, spiders and ghosts).

✔ Ghosts

How can we do without ghosts? After all, they add a special flavor. I present to your attention several simple ideas for making ghosts. We have a separate review on the topic of manufacturing (12 cool master classes).

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

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

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

✔ Witch's supplies

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

Here, in general, everything is very simple, colored 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 could be a potion of oblivion, a love potion, a potion of good luck. You can also pour crushed dried herbs into jars and label the labels according to its name.

✔ Black spiders

Should be prepared: cones, black spray paint, white beads, glue moment crystal, pompoms, black chenille wire.

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

✔ Spider webs (web)

You need to prepare: disposable plate, hole punch, wool threads, scissors.

We cut out the central part of the plate with scissors, use a hole punch to create many holes along the edges, into which we then thread a woolen thread, intertwining the threads with each other. We also have a separate review on the topic of making all kinds of webs from various materials(look for 6 master classes).

✔ Wreaths on the door with snakes

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

We form a ring from the branches, then glue many small snakes to its end part, and finally paint the product with black paint. Many examples of wreaths are presented.

3. Take a spoon and remove the seeds and pulp from inside the pumpkin. This can be done by hand if the pumpkin is very ripe and soft inside.
4. Take a ready-made face template or draw it yourself. We apply the finished design to the outside of the pumpkin and use a needle to pierce it along the contour.
5. Using a sharp thin knife, we cut out a design on the pumpkin, adhering to the previously outlined outline. Don't rush, the holes should be perfectly straight.

After the pumpkin has a “face”, we proceed to lighting it. To make a bright glow, you can use a single-color New Year's garland. We wrap it around the jar and place it inside the pumpkin. In this case, the hole in the pumpkin should be at the bottom so that the wire from the backlight is not visible. An easier option to illuminate our craft is to use a simple candle.

• PVA glue;
• Thread or rope.

Spatula.

1. We inflate the balloons. We make one larger (for the body), the other a little smaller (for the head).
2. We tie them together with rope or thread.
3. We make 8 strips of the same length and thickness from black cardboard. These will be the spider's legs.
4. We bend the strips so that they look like legs. Glue them on the sides of the large ball.
5. Draw the eyes and nose of the spider on cardboard and cut them out. Glue to small ball. That's it, our spider is ready.

DIY Halloween decor

For this project, you can use your imagination and use any objects (things, toys) to create an original Halloween corner.

In this case, a witch's locker was created. A large wooden box was used for this, but you can use it instead cardboard box, to which you can attach several shelves and decorate with paints (gouache) and/or black adhesive tape (or electrical tape).

As decorations you can add:

Toy skulls

Bats cut from black paper

Artificial web (buy in cans or make your own from threads)

Food parchment (baking paper)

White thick and thin candles

1 red candle

Pins and nails

How to make a big Halloween ghost with your own hands

You will need:

Transparent trash bags

Transparent wide and thin tape

Mannequin or volunteer

* you can use part of a mannequin (without the head) or something that has the shape of a torso, as well as a ball for the head.

Fishing line (for hanging).

1. Torso

1.1. Place a large clear bag over the mannequin. If you have a volunteer as a mannequin, make holes in the bag for the head and arms and then put it on it.

1.2. Start wrapping thick tape around the bag. Please pay attention Special attention the most complex parts of the body. Wrap around your waist, neck and shoulders. Add some tape to connect all the already wrapped parts - a couple of pieces from the neck to the shoulders and a couple from the waist to the neck.

* For more difficult places, you can use thin tape.

In the picture you can see strips of blue tape - this is so that you can better understand what to do next.

1.3. Continue wrapping the tape, varying from horizontal to vertical strips. The main thing is that the entire torso is covered.

1.4. To make the shape stronger, add another layer of tape. You can add a couple more layers if desired, but the more tape, the less transparent the ghost will be.

1.5. Using scissors (preferably with rounded ends), cut the shape from the back from the neck to the waist in a straight line. The dark tape in the picture shows exactly where this needs to be done.

1.6. Carefully remove the form from the mannequin and set it aside.

7. Nowhead.

If you don't have a head model, you can use a regular ball of the appropriate size.

*Under no circumstances use a real person for this.

7.1. Place a transparent bag over the mold.

7.2. Wrap thin tape around the neck to secure the bag at the bottom. And to secure the bag on top, wrap tape around it in the forehead area. If you are using balls, simply place some tape on the bottom and then start wrapping it around the entire ball.

DIY web and spiders

A web with spiders is a simple and effective room decoration for Halloween, especially if you are planning a party with guests and you need to create the appropriate atmosphere.

The most obvious option is to wind woolen threads in the form of a web on the wall, securing them with push pins. First you need to secure the warp threads (diagonal), and then wind the thread in a circle.

You can attach a web thread to a plastic disposable plate, populate it with a cardboard spider and hang it on the chandelier.

The basis for the web can be the crosshairs of any sticks, for example, thin branches or ice cream sticks.

A web can be cut out of paper or oilcloth using the same principle as a snowflake for the New Year.

You can either buy ready-made spiders for Halloween as a decoration on a web or as an independent decoration, or you can make a craft with your own hands. It could be just a figure cut out of cardboard or a three-dimensional version.

These cute spiders can be made from the same plastic plates. The materials you will need are chenille (fluffy handmade wire) and eyes for toys of different sizes.

But such a not only funny, but also tasty spider can be made from lollipop and chenille:

A more complex design is the glamorous spider made from a decorative mesh shaped like a bubo.

You can make such a cute spider with your own hands from two foam balls different sizes.

And another version of a spider made from a ball, this time wrapped in acrylic thread.

A very simple to create, but impressive looking spider - made from a black ball with paper legs. It may well frighten a guest who enters the room!

Halloween crafts from toilet paper rolls

Rolls (tubes) remaining after using toilet paper are an excellent material for children's creativity. From it you can make figures of any animals and birds, and for Halloween - monsters, mummies and bats.

To create such mummies, you don’t need anything other than toilet paper and eyes. Wrap the roll with paper in any order, glue on the eyes - the mummy is ready!

As for creating monsters, here you can fully express your imagination.

The same applies to making witches, ghosts and bats - no instructions are needed to make them.

Well, if you don’t have any extra rolls lying around at home or there isn’t enough material to fulfill all your fantasies, use empty juice boxes as an alternative.

Candlesticks

An original decoration for your Halloween room will be a craft in the form of a candlestick. Making it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

Take a glass container (jar) and stick thematic figures cut out of paper (witch, bat, pumpkin, spider, cobweb, etc.). Place a candle at the bottom of the jar, light it - the lamp will effectively light up.

You can apply a drawing with a marker, and paint the container with any color - then the lamps will glow different shades and will look monstrously gorgeous in a dark room. Boooo!

You can wrap the jar in gauze and glue on the eyes - you’ll get a mummy lamp.

Wrap the jars with thread and plant spiders on them - again we return to the theme of the web.

Fairy lights

A holiday craft option that offers unlimited scope for imagination. After all, you can hang anything on a garland!

Paper ghosts.

Skeletons, black cats and bats.

Skulls and ghosts made from felt.

Faces of monsters and witches.

Balls made from threads in the shape of “sugar loaves”.

Paper pumpkins.

Ghosts made of threads.

Or made of fabric.

Halloween wreath

A wreath on a door or wall is a very popular home decoration. Nowadays such wreaths are made for many holidays - and Halloween is no exception. As a blank, you can use a circle made of cardboard, plywood or a foam circle - they are sold in handicraft stores.

These are the kind of funny monsters you can make if you tie a lot of tulle strips tightly in knots on a piece of paper.
