With Halloween quickly approaching, it’s time to collect your fearsome family, and friends to create some fun activities and costumes to celebrate the spookiest night of the year. Fear not, however. We’ve put together a list of DIY handicrafts for you to try out in October.

Kids will enjoy adding everything and everything to this project as they imagine their own version of a wearable Hansel & Gretel’s terrifying gingerbread home. We suggest customising your haunted house with additional pumpkins, ghosts or spiders.

  • Cardboard boxes
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Paintbrushes
  • Black paint and white paint 
  • Scissors 
  • Rope

Follow the instructions here. 

OCTOPUS

In a few simple steps and items that you probably already own, you can transform simple materials into an octopus costume. 

You Will Need:

  • 3 long socks 
  • Stuffing 
  • Sewing needle, safety pins and thread 
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Purple or black sweatpants
