Oct 27, 2015

Halloween is near and the sight of Jack-O-Lanterns on doorsteps will become more and more common. As the temperatures drop and the creepy decorations go up, you’ll want to start getting ready with your Halloween decorations. Give your wallet a break and make your own DIY Halloween crafts this year.

Hanging Jack-O-Lanterns

Set yourself apart from your neighbors by hanging those jack-o-lantern faces high for all to see. You will only need a couple of supplies for this:

  • hot glue gun
  • rope
  • pumpkins (already carved)
  • hook

If you don’t want to use real pumpkins, pick up fake ones from your local craft store. Follow the steps below to bring in Halloween the right way.
