5 DIYs to “Spookify” Your Home
Did You Know…
…. All Hallows Eve or “Halloween” began in the early 7th century? Originating in Ireland, this holiday was celebrated by the Christians as the day before All Hallows Day (November 1.) During this time Celebrants would light bonfires as a sign of “relighting the Hearth” and wear costumes to scare off any Ghouls that might be near.
Spook-Tacular Halloween DIYs
Halloween wouldn’t be Halloween without the Haunting Decorations.
“But, I just don’t have the money to spend on big Halloween decorations all for one night.”
We have compiled a small list of crafts tailored just for you and your family that won’t break the bank! Plus, you get to spend quality time with your loved ones.
Where Do I Buy Crafting Material?
Amazon can be a valuable resource for craft materials.
If you prefer the hands-on approach of gathering materials in person, crafting supplies at stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels, dedicated crafting stores, and even Walmart.
These crafts stores offer a wide range of materials to meet all your crafting needs.

Skeleton Pumpkins
These bone-chilling creations are a frightful way to bring a bit of spook to your front porch.
Materials You'll Need:
2 Pumpkins
Matte White Spray Paint
Black Paint or Sharpie
Or Black Spray Paint and a Stencil
Instructions:
Start by removing the stem from one of the pumpkins.
Next, spray paint both pumpkins with matte white spray paint. Allow them to dry completely before stacking them to prevent any smudging or smearing.
Now, you have two options to create the skeleton design
You can use black paint or a Sharpie to draw circles and ovals, forming the bones of your Skeleton.
If you prefer a stencil, you can use black spray paint with the stencil for an intricate bone design.
Get creative with different face styles to give your Skeleton Pumpkins their unique character.
