21 Halloween party ideas you can DIY yourself
After missing out on our favourite spooky holiday last year, Halloween is back! And while you may have got a bit settled into staying at home that doesn't mean you can't have a spooky ol' time at home.
So, when it comes to Halloween party ideas, whether you're throwing a rager, inviting a few people round for a couple of vampire's kiss martinis or staying in with your housemates, who says you can't get Halloween-y and a little crafty.
Grab a hilarious Halloween costume, get a spooky makeup tutorial in the bag and pick out some themed nail art for the big day. And then, as well as decorations and Halloween food and drink, decorate the house with Halloween party ideas that you can DIY yourself. No one else even has to see them! Do it for yourself!
Admittedly, some of them are easier than others. The spider ice cubes involve minimal effort. The bin bag cobwebs, however? Yeah, you might need a bit of arty prowess (or at least a Google image template) to recreate those. Go forth and use your creative juices (ew) to recreate these excellent Halloween party ideas!
