MAKE: Blog: DIY Halloween 2007

DIY Halloween 2007

We've been looking over the pictures submitted to our Flickr DIY Halloween group and we must say we are pretty impressed with what we see.

For example, these Squidcakes:

Don't they look yummy?

But Halloween is, of course, not just about food. It's also about scaring the heck out of people. Which is why we thought this ghost would really get some people going:

If you want more "traditional" decorations for your yard, why not check out this carved pumpkin:

And if you want to dress up your pet, why not get some cues from the Flickr group, such as this dog costume:

Of course there are tons more food and decoration and costume ideas in our group. Be sure to submit your suggestions today. Also check out the DIY Halloween section at Instructables for more inspiration.

In the coming days and weeks we will take a closer look at some of these projects and highlight the ones we think stand out. If you want your DIY halloween project to get noticed, don't forget to share it. Whether it's a cool costume, a devilish decoration or a twisted treat be sure to post some instructions and pics and check back here!
