Have your child decorate orange cupcake wrappers with googly eyes and black craft foam shapes to create their own original jack-o-lantern grin. Glue a strip of green ribbon to the back of the cupcake wrapper to double as both the pumpkin stem and hanger piece.

Scrap paper candy corn
You can use as many different ribbons as you want and then you can hang it up when you’re done. If you have a gingerbread cookie cutter, let your kid outline it on cardboard and cut it out. Then give them some white yarn so they can wrap it around it to give it a mummy makeover. Give your kid a paintbrush and let them paint a wooden leaf white. Once it dries, tell them to paint on two dots for the ghost’s eyes and a larger one for its mouth. Is so simple yet effective – especially if you're scratching your head wondering how to decorate for fall on a budget.

Glitter and sequins put a fun twist on these Halloween craft spider webs, which cling to windows mess-free. After cutting out similar-sized strands of yarn, help your child soak the pieces in glue. Criss-cross these pieces of yarn to create the spiderweb effect before decorating with glitter glue and sequins. These creepy crawlers are as cute as they are scary. Help your child wrap four pipe cleaners around the pinecone body to form eight legs. From there, use a hot glue gun to attach eight googly eyes.
Paper Plate Spiders
The first step would be to find a tote bag at a local craft store like Joann or Michaels. Or, you can use Photoshop to make and print a cool saying and design.

Paint a child’s name on the pumpkin in a fun font.
