Halloween Hacks That Are So Good It’s Scary

Who doesn’t love Halloween? It’s the one time of year when you can really let your creativity shine, whether it’s through home decorations or your spooky choice of costume. But guess what, folks? These dozens of ingenious hacks will change how you celebrate the holiday forever, and some will save you a bunch of dough as well. You’ll be left screaming — with joy!

1. Hungry pumpkin

If you want to get creative with your pumpkins this year, the 5-Minute Crafts PLAY YouTube channel has just the thing for you. After carving your Jack-o’-lantern, make a set of teeth from the parts you’ve discarded and stick them around the mouth. Then take an old pair of jeans and cut one of the legs off. Stuff it with newspaper, place a sneaker on the end, and lay it in the pumpkin. It’ll look amazing.

2. Glowing Jell-O shots

For this hack, boil up a saucepan of tonic water and add some flavored Jell-O. Mix them together, add a few drops of vodka (or a non-alcoholic option) and water, pour the concoction into shot containers, and stick them in the fridge. After that, crown the shots with the same blend, but using a different Jell-O flavor. When they’re ready, place a black light near them and admire the glow.

3. Monster garage

Looking to spook passers-by ahead of All Hallows’ Eve? Why not transform your garage into a giant monster? Start by covering the door with a dark plastic tablecloth. Then, create a set of menacing teeth using craft foam. Get hold of a coroplast board to make a pair of eyes, which you can stick to the wall. The results will be incredible!

4. Easy elf ears

For those of you who want to don elf costumes this Halloween, listen up. The 5-Minute DECOR YouTube channel has shared a tremendously easy trick for creating the signature ears. All you need to do is stick a flesh-colored plaster on the top of both your lugs before shaping the sides into a point. Yes, it’s that simple.
