With Halloween right around the corner, today we thought it would be fun to put together some of the most popular DIY Halloween ideas we found on Pinterest. For the past few months we’ve been collecting these pins in our board Cool DIY Projects, which currently has almost 1.5 million followers (all by itself). It’s our hope that you’ll incorporate some of these spooktacular ideas during this year’s Halloween. As always, you can find/follow us on Pinterest here.
See some of our favorite DIY Halloween Pinterest projects below.
1. Ghoulish Glaring Eyes
Using plastic foam balls of varying sizes, draw eyes with black permanent marker and then stick a toothpick to hold the eyes together. Attach the eyes to a dark colored bench or fence to make them pop! via [BHG]
2. Magnetic Spiders
Take plastic spider rings from a dollar store, cut off the ring part, stick on magnets with hot glue and put them on your front door. Creepy! via [deliacreates]
3. Dracula’s Teeth
Cut cookie in half, frost bottom with red frosting, place marshmallow teeth around curved perimeter, and top with remaining half. Insert two almond slivers in between teeth for fangs. via [The Girl Who Ate Everything]
4. Glowing Ghosts
Snap a green glowstick and insert it into a white balloon. Inflate the balloon and tie it. Using a black marker, draw a spooky face. Stick to a wall with transparent tape and turn down the lights. via [Martha Stewart]

8. Jack-O-Lantern Halloween Fog
Fill a large glass half full with hot water. Mix in one cup of salt. Put the glass inside the pumpkin. Then, wearing gloves, drop in 2-3 large pieces of dry ice into the glass. Put the lid of the pumpkin back on top for a tight fit. via [Squidoo]
9. Bat-o’-Lanters
Paint mini pumpkins with black acrylic paint. Cut out eyes from white craft foam and hole punch pupils. Glue on eyes. Cut out ears and wings from black craft foam and attach ears by taping a toothpick to the back of each one, inserting the other end into the pumpkin. Tape wooden skewers to the back of each wing and, leaving a 2-inch point exposed, push it into the pumpkin. via [Family Fun]
10. Oompa Loompa Baby Costume
A highly original DIY baby costume was submitted by Lucca Graziano to People magazine. Holding a Wonka bar, this tiny tot sported green hair and white eyebrows, making him the cutest Oompa Loompa we’ve ever seen. via [People]
