3 Easy Halloween Projects (you can make at home!)

Wicked Makers hosts Jaimie and Jay walk through three beginner-friendly Halloween prop builds designed to be completed in a weekend at home. The trio covers a giant DIY spider built with paper mache and wire, a pumpkin-headed PVC-framed scarecrow dressed in thrifted clothes, and a ghostly skeleton wrapped in stiffened cheesecloth. Each project is low-cost and highly customizable, with the scarecrow compatible with animatronic jack-o-lantern heads for an extra scare factor.

We made our cat a Halloween PUMPKIN House!

Wicked Makers duo Jaimie and Jay build an oversized jack-o-lantern cat house and scratching post for their Sphynx cat, Oberon, kicking off their 2021 Halloween season in style. The structure is formed using a balloon armature wrapped in wire, layered with paper mache, and finished with resin, spray paint, and sisal rope. The build doubles as a functional pet piece and a bold Halloween decoration. The creators note the jack-o-lantern shell alone could be repurposed as a standalone Halloween prop without the cat-specific elements.
