For the upcoming Halloween most people always want to set up halloween decorations and have their house decorated. Although, they don’t want a lot of work involved in the process of making it and setting it up.

Here are four easy DIY’s for Halloween:-

First is this cute, simple tombstone idea. 

This is what you need to make this:

  • Foam Boards
  • Grey and Black spray paint
  • Wood

Start off by drawing out the tombstone shape that you want on the foam boards. If you want more than one tombstone you need more than one foam board. After you cut out the foam board shapes you need blocks of wood for the base and front and back of the board.

Nail the wood boards to the front and back of the boards, then the bottom. Then you can spray paint it. You don’t need to cover the whole board if you don’t want to. You can set up your tombstone in your yard for Halloween.

The next one is a Chicken Wire Ghost

All you need is:

  • Chicken wire
  • Pliers

All you have to do is outline a person with the wire or someone wearing a dress and use the pliers to bend however you want. That is all you have to do and you have your Chicken Wire Ghost for Halloween.

Then there is this one similar to the last one it is a Packing Tape Ghost

Packing tape ghost

This is what you need:

  • Three rolls of packing tape (depending on size)
  • A dress form or mannequin
  • A wig head
  • One LED light (any color you want)

To start you take your mannequin or dress form and start wrapping the tape on it with the sticky side of the tape up.Once you have at least a layer covering the whole  mannequin or dress form you can start wrapping it normally so both the sticky sides are touching.

You can wrap it with how many layers you want until satisfied. Then you do the same thing for the head. Once you are done slit the back of the tape all the way down until you can get it off your mannequin or dress form. Then when you get it off tape it back together. After you finish getting the headpiece of the wig head tape them together.

After that you can place the LED light on the inside of her skirt and it will light up the whole Ghost. Then you can hang it from a tree or if you have a pipe or a long stick you can have it standing.

Finally the last one is a Zombie in a Coffin

You’ll need:

  • Wood
  • Nails or screws
  • Hammer or a Power Drill
  • Skeleton arm or body

For this one you have to make a coffin. First you have to get five different length wood boards or cut the wood board to any length you want. Then after you cut them into five different pieces label them A, B, C, D, E, and F. A, B, C and D. These will be the side and top board lengths.

After you put them together you can connect the back and front boards E and F. Then once the coffin is all put together you can mess up the front board of the coffin. Just enough to make it look like a zombie is escaping.

Then you can have whatever color zombie body coming out or just an arm like in the picture. If you want the zombie to be lazy you can have just the arm sticking out, but you can do whatever you like after you finish the coffin.

Those are your four easy and cute DIY’s for this Halloween. Enjoy!
