Having an awesome Halloween doesn’t have to be stressful, expensive and, most importantly… tacky!

There’s nothing wrong with channeling your inner child for a while, but let’s not forget that we’re adults now, so our DIY Halloween Decorations need an upgrade as well, don’t you think?

For the following DIY Halloween Decorations you won’t need much, even though at first glance you think that you need everything in the world and a sacrifice to the Gods of Halloween to make them look this good.

The “must haves” for these projects include scraps and old items, Mod Podge, glue sticks and a glue gun, cheesecloth, fake skulls, and paint.

But enough with the chit-chatting! Let’s get to it!

8. Floating Harry Potter Candles Starry Sky, from Pins and Things

Speaking of Harry Potter, one of the must-haves for Halloween, a great HP themed party, or even just your everyday bedroom, if you’re as crazy as I am, are the floating candles and the starry sky.

I know it looks damn complicated, but calm down, it’s not. Some hot glue, fake candles, and fishing line go a long way! Wingardium Leviosa!
