Looking for some simple DIYs to add a little spook to your home this Halloween? Look no further! I've compiled a list of 5 spook-tacular projects to give your home that extra touch of scary this season! The best part? They take almost no time so it's never too late to give them a try!

1. Cheesecloth Ghosts

This easy and adorable project can be altered to any size, and uses things you probably already have hiding around your house! When they're done, they have a really great translucent effect that makes them look like they're truly floating. You can also use paint to add some great color and change things up!

2. Ghost Candles

These fantastic candles are so stinking easy! Just soak some tapers in warm water until soft, then bend them to your desired shape, add eyes and a mouth, and voila! A collection of ghosts to light up any dark corner. To keep it budget friendly, try thrifting the candle holders at your local charity shop.

3. Paper Bats

If you've got a Cricut or other cutting tool, this project is so easy you could do it in your sleep! Simply cut bats out of black cardstock in multiple sizes and styles, use some double-sided tape and let those babies fly!

4. Character Wall

Easy to pair with a swarm of bats is a gallery wall filled with iconic Halloween characters. Just find some images online, print them in black and white, and hang them in simple black frames! As a bonus: take some spooky pictures of the kids (have them dress up as ghosts or act like monsters) and add them to the wall. It's a great way to personalize it, and your kids will love seeing their photoshoot up with those spooky characters!

5. Snake Wreath

What's more quintessential Halloween than a bunch of wriggling, writhing snakes? This project is simple, budget friendly, and can be used year after year! Supplies can be purchased at the dollar store, and this wreath can add a spooky touch to any entry. Find the tutorial here.

Even if you're the world's greatest procrastinator, there's still time to get festive this Halloween with these quick and easy decorations. Happy crafting!
