Halloween DIY ideas: With Halloween coming soon, those who haven't decorated yet, have some time to bring a spooky and festive flair to their homes. Ranging from easy crafts to ingenious DIYs, here are some easy, last-minute ideas to bring the Halloween spirit into your home and no carving, glue guns, or complicated setups needed, as per a Yahoo Creators report.

1. Water jug pumpkins

Dried-out water jugs can quickly become glowing pumpkin lanterns. Clean and dry the jugs, then mark on them with a marker some spooktacular jack-o-lantern faces. On Halloween evening, insert battery-operated tea lights and use them to illuminate your porch or edge your walkway with trick-or-treaters.

2. Jack-o-lantern balloons

Helium balloons are great floating pumpkins. Inflate orange, white, or black balloons and draw jack-o-lantern faces using a broad-tip marker. Tie them to chairs, porch rails, or weights for a simple and enjoyable display.

3. Simple spooky spider webs

Create a slightly creepy ambiance with fake spider webs. Stretch store-bought webbing or batting and set plastic spiders on it. Suspend the webs on your porch, mantle, or even on the branches of a tree for a spooky Halloween decoration.

4. DIY ghosts from sheets

Traditional Halloween ghosts are easy to create with aged sheets. Cut a twin sheet in half, put cardboard between the layers to avoid bleeding of the ink, and mark ghost faces. After drying, display them on porches or trees for a cost-free, ghost-like effect.

For a mess-free version of carving, paint plastic or real pumpkins spooky or funny faces. Add some glitter for extra pizzazz, and put them on your porch, mantle, or table for a festive Halloween decoration.

7. Witch's hat on the door

Replace a fall wreath with a witch's hat to create an instant holiday Halloween feel. For extra impact, add a broom, black cloak, or striped tights.

8. Simple paper Halloween garland

Paper garlands are a great craft for families. Cut out paper ghosts, bats, and pumpkins, decorate their faces, and clip them to twine with mini clothespins. Hang the garland along a mantle or porch rail for an easy, playful decoration.

9. Skeleton on the porch

A skeleton man or woman can make a quick Halloween statement. Place one in a porch chair and dress it up with a scarf or hat. Placing battery-operated tea lights in its eyes makes for a playful, spooky surprise for guests.
