Halloween is the perfect opportunity to decorate your home with scary and original elements. From pumpkin sculpture to sinister decorations, here are nine DIY ideas to make your home terrifying on Halloween night.

Pumpkin sculpture is one of Halloween’s most iconic activities. Mix a pumpkin, knife and candle to create a scary artwork. You can cut squeaky faces, scary patterns or even horror movie characters.

Use paper handkerchiefs or white cloth to make a garland of ghosts. Draw scary faces with black markers, hang them on a string and hang them in your home for a ghostly decoration.
3. Bloody lanterns
Turn simple lanterns into terrifying objects by painting them with red paint to simulate blood. Place candles inside to create a sinister glow. You can also add drops of false blood for an even more realistic effect.

Use white wool or cotton to create a bright spider web. Hang it in a dark corner of your home and add small plastic spiders for a scary effect. You can even add LED lights for an even more striking effect.

Fill transparent glass jars with false eyes, plastic organs or other scary objects. Colour the water with a few drops of food dye for an even more realistic effect. Place these jars on your shelves for a sinister decoration.
6. Silhouettes of zombies
Draw silhouettes of zombies on black cardboard, cut them and hang them on your windows to simulate an invasion of the dead. You can even add Chinese shadows behind for an even more frightening effect when it is dark.
