5 Easy Halloween Crafts to Make

5 Easy Halloween Crafts You Can Make with Printables & SVGs

Halloween is the perfect excuse to pull out the cardstock, scissors and glue and make something just for fun. Whether you use a cutting machine or simply print and cut, Halloween offers lots of possibilities for quick, colorful projects.

Here are five easy ideas to try this October.

1. Halloween Candy & Treat Holders

Turn a few pieces of cardstock into something much more fun than an ordinary piece of candy. Halloween candy holders can be made in all kinds of shapes—from pumpkins, ghosts and bats to witches and spooky graveyards. They're perfect for party favors, classroom treats or Halloween visitors.

2. Halloween Treat Bags

A simple paper bag becomes part of the treat when you dress it up for Halloween. Haunted houses, jack-o'-lanterns, ghosts, witches and other Halloween designs can turn an ordinary bag into something worth displaying. Fill them with candy or other small surprises.

3. Handmade Halloween Cards

Halloween cards don't have to be complicated. Start with folded cardstock and add a printable image to the front. Layer it over contrasting paper, add a greeting, and you have a card that's ready to send.

4. Halloween Tags

Tags are one of the easiest Halloween projects to make. Add them to treat bags, gifts, baskets or party favors—or simply use them as decorations. Punch a hole at the top and finish them with ribbon, twine or raffia.

5. Halloween Garland

Turn individual Halloween images into a simple garland by attaching them to ribbon or twine. Pumpkins, black cats, bats, witches and ghosts all work well. Hang your finished garland across a mantel, doorway, shelf or party table.

Make It Your Own

The fun of Halloween crafting is putting your own spin on things. Change the colors, mix different papers, add ribbon or raffia, or combine several designs into one project.

Whether you're making a card, filling a treat bag or creating a little Halloween decoration, it doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes a few pieces of paper and a little imagination are all you need.
