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.
