Easy DIY Halloween Decoration For Under $10

This easy to make $10 DIY homemade Halloween decoration post contains affiliate links and/or images.

I caught the crafting bug early in life. My mom was a Girl Scout troop leader. She was in charge of crafts. Twice a month, there would be a group of eight-year-old girls around our dining room table.

The pile of crafting supplies we would soon get our hands on mesmerized us. There was glitter, glue, feathers, pipe cleaners, markers, construction paper and so much more. We were in crafting heaven!

Easy DIY Halloween Decoration

Crafting; A Family Affair

One of our favorite times of year was Halloween. Mom always decorated the house to the hilt. My three older brothers helped mom with the scary stuff. They were in charge of the creepy decorations. Mom, my sister and I were in charge of the more tame decorations.

We made cute ghosts and skeletons to hang in the windows or to sit on the mantel, above the fireplace. I could not wait until I was a mom to recruit my kids into helping me decorate my own home!

Make this easy DIY Halloween decoration for under $10 and get your home in the Halloween spirit!

We constantly get compliments on them. People cannot believe we didn’t spend big bucks on them! In fact, they cost less than $10 to make! Want a fun great to eat while you make your easy to make $10 DIY homemade Halloween decoration? You will love my Cute Spooky Halloween Eyeball Cupcakes!
