You can turn almost anything into a spooky craft if you have the right eye or inspiration. Here’s some of our favourite recycled Halloween ideas for you to try at home:

Lanterns
All you need is an old, (but clean) jar, some paint, and a small LED light, oh and some spooky googley eyes if they take your fancy, check it out below:

Spooky Wreaths 
This one’s for you parents. Old clothes, rags, and material can be re-used into a spectacular Rag Wreath – perfect to decorate your door with this October:

If you want to get crafty with friends this October, you can make Rag Wreaths of any theme at a Creative Crafters event near you.

Ghastly Ghosts 
With an abundance of soup this spooky season, we had to give you something to do with the tins, and we’ve got just the tin’, we mean, thing*. Check out this ghastly ghosts floating in the night.. hang them from anywhere you can imagine – inside or out! Remember, if you’re hanging them outside – paint the tin, if it’s inside you can wrap it with paper instead.

Munching Monsters 
These munching monsters are perfect for storing stationery, crafty bits and bobs or even some treat or treat sweeties.

A leftover box, some tissue paper, googley eyes & pip cleaners can make wonders.  (Number of eyes, tongue and teeth – optional)

And that’s not all if you want to make more Halloween goodies, you can find creative spooktacular classes local to you this October by popping your postcode in below.
