Halloween is one of the most fun holidays of the years, but it can also get expensive.  That is why I opt to go for cheap Halloween decorations you can DIY versus buying new.  Plus it’s more fun!

How much does the average person spend on Halloween every year?

According to a study by CIT Bank the average person was set to spend $80 for Halloween in 2017. Of that, about $21 was spent on party décor. To make that $21 go as far as possible, you need to do it yourself.

Here are 11 DIY Halloween decorations that look awesome and won’t break the bank.

1. Paper Lantern Monsters

My Creative Days created these fun paper lantern monsters. After finding a few items on the clearance rack at her local big box store, Lindsay added a little creative ingenuity and came out with perfect Halloween decorations.

2. Cheesecloth Ghosts

Instructables user Jessyratfink posted this cool step-by-step process for making ghost decorations. All you need is some cheesecloth, liquid starch and wax paper. Everything else you probably have at home.

3. Spider Web Coasters

This is a surprisingly simple DIY project. Protect your furniture and add a little something to your guests’ drinks with these fancy spider web coasters. Kailo Chic Life shows you how.
