1. Light Up Pumpkins
You will want to do this project even if you have to sneak up on your kiddos trick or treat pumpkin baskets. And if that is not possible, then just visit a dollar store, and grab a few colored pumpkin baskets. Make cutouts in the pumpkins. Poke a hole at the back to put string lights. Alternatively, you can use battery lights too.
2. Sequin Polka Dot Pumpkins
Bring glamour to your Halloween with some sparkly sequins. You will need pumpkins (you can buy white ones or paint them yourself), kraft glue and sequins. Now the fun part begins. Make circles or any shape you want with the kraft glue one by one. Cover each circle with sequins while the glue is still wet. Decorate your home with these pumpkins once the glue is dry and watch your home instantly feel more glamorous and festive.
3. DIY Halloween Horror Candles
This one is an easy last-minute DIY project. You can easily achieve this look by melted tapered red or purple candles over white pillar candles. How fun! You can also do this dripped color technique by melting crayons. With so many color options and candle shapes the options are endless. Be sure to tag #apartmentinspo if you try this.
