23 EASY AND COOL DIY HALLOWEEN DECOR IDEAS
HALLOWEEN DECOR IDEAS
When I was a little girl, my dad had a couple of these cute ghosts on our piano during Halloween. I remember thinking they really floated not knowing that it was starch that held them up. This year, I decided it was time to make some for my friends to experience. I used liquid starch, which is kind of hard to come by. Plus, it’s a lot of money to spend on a ghost or two. So, I found a better and cheaper way to make these. Here’s what you need:
Cheesecloth (I just found mine in the baking section of the grocery store and it was about $3. I used the whole package for one ghost. I cut it in half and used 2 layers to make it sturdier)
Black felt
Cornstarch
Water
Any kind of “make-shift” stand to support the cheesecloth while it dries out.
First, you start by making homemade liquid starch.
Pour 2 cups of water into a microwave safe container. Then, add one cup of cornstarch and mix it really well.
Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in-between, until it gets thick. Mine took about 2 minutes total. This is kind of what you’re going for:
Set that aside and let it cool off a little bit. You don’t want it to get cold, though.
Meanwhile, set up your “make-shift” stand. You can use cups, balloons, Styrofoam balls. Whatever you can find to make the right shape and size. You just want to make sure you can pull it out from under the cheesecloth once it’s dry. Balloons are nice because you can pop them. I didn’t have any balloons on hand, so here’s what I used:
I put some freezer paper on the table so that the ghost would have something to sit on (besides the table) while it dried.
Next, I cut the cheesecloth in half. I wanted to make my ghost a little sturdier. Coat each piece of cheesecloth with the cornstarch. It took a little bit of working it in. You want to make sure it is completely coated.
Drape the pieces of cheesecloth one at a time over your make-shift stand and make sure you arrange it how you want it. Once it’s dry, you can’t really change anything.
Once you’ve got it perfect, allow it to completely dry. Mine took overnight. When it’s stiff, carefully remove the cheesecloth from the mold and glue on two felt eyes.
It’s really hard to capture on camera, but the ghost is completely see-through and looks like it’s just floating!

Alexander Plaza it just means that they don’t take long at all to do
@@sawyerharris7987 but if you need to get ingredients then it's gonna take time
Kids
Me... They also just repeat them
Alexander Plaza they take like an hour tbh
Also, I'd like to add and say how dangerous it is to plastic wrap your head, use one of those styrofoam heads instead to plastic wrap it
Agreed
I think that's what they did cuz the dindt die
Ikr, they gonna suffocate someone
I was thinking the same when I saw this
Well, I mean u could get a star foam head that u could use to wrap with
This would cost more in materials than to just buy the decorations.
True.
Ikr
Yeah I know
So Very TRUE!!!!!!
BUT YOU CAN CHOSE 3 OR 4 THINGS FOR HOMEMADE DECORATION AM I RIGHT? WHO AGREES PLEASE LIKE? HAPPY HALLOWEN TO ALL OF YOU👻👻👻👻😱😱🎃🎃🎃

The ghost tape thing actually works. My art class at school a couple years ago did the same thing except it was supposed to be an astronaut. So yeah
Did they ducktape their head
The candles from Harry Potter are brilliant!
At least somebody said something about the Harry Potter references they made lol

I like those floating candles those are my favorite every Halloween.

That dryer vent was super smart. Great pumpkin shape and it was easy! We DIY a 5 foot metal Pumpkin! Not quite as easy as any of these.
A lot of these are a bit complicated but are so cute! While most people don't have these supplies, they could easily get them (assuming they have the money for it; not trying to be offensive) and would have instructions! A lot of viewers also don't consider that the staff or creators are making these too, so they do put effort into videos. ❤
The ghost looks so real
Does anyone else watch these are not actually do them…… Only me, OK But they are really cool ideas
Sonia Torres 😂 so how are you?
Hello, I'm braziliam and love Stranger Things
Sr. Mito Yay me too, obviously!! I can't wait for the next seasons!!

These are some REALLY clever ideas i like these!! But classis pumpo is classic pumpo: you take out the guts, you carve something on the skin, you put a little light inside. 👍🏻🎃👍🏻
Does anybody else just watch it and dont even try it??😂 Like if you agree
Bob Jhones yes this is so me 😂😂
Yup 😂😂
Me
Yes but I'm gonna try sooner I have manytime
Yeah its almost as funny as stealing someone else's comment

Thanks for the tips! 2023: It's never too late to up your game! 👍
You bet! 😉
Who else just watches them but doesn’t do any of them like if u do that (I still love them tho❤️)

I wish I could try this maybe when I’m not busy with HW right teachers...
5 minute crafts Me: Ok why not *watches video and gives it a try* FINALLY AFTER 5 HOURS ive completed step 1 :D
Spelled over
Your life saddens me
not even funny tryhard
Congrats.. Idiot
Yayyy let’s all put plastic wrap over our faces and tape it cause that’s a great idea!!
Yeah, the craft isn't bad but all they needed to do was show how to make the heads without dying! That's exactly what I was thinking! unless, making the craft, they did die and had to cut it out 😱 It is Halloween after all
just use a manikin head sorry for the spelling
You aren't supposed to put it over your face.... Also, how is liking your comment going to save a kid?
Y not sufficate ourselves seems fun

It’s nearly christmas and I still find this video entertaining.
0:23 "Mom, can we go to the farm and pick out a pumpkin?" "No, we have pumpkins at home." Pumpkins at home:
6:08 Thanks for the saving spot
0:36 I might just buy a pumpkin instead.... But I used the baby head one and the little pumpking strings and it turned out well
Cool l8ke

Finally! I’ve found something that’s about Halloween stuff!😭😭😭😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡🥰🥰🥰🥰
Is it just me or do these take more than 5 minuets?
galaxy waves Minutes* And yeah 5 minutes craft is no longer 5 minutes 🤣
The channel is click bait and reuses the same clips.
galaxy waves yeah it takes years
Yeah, like why would you make a fake pumpkin? Probably costs just as much if not more to make it and if it doesn't its just a waste
It’s called five minute crafts because there fast to do not b cause there exactly five minutes
Thank you so much! These ideas were wonderful, im doing the pumpkin idea for sure 🎃 !
I get they are trying to be easy 🎃 but some of these just look tacky yet still fun to watch on spooky season 2020 😊
