Spook up your space with these cheap and easy DIYs. Let’s start with a few different illuminating ideas:

Mason Jar Mummies

To create this simple DIY candle holder you’ll need an odd number of mason jars with varying height. White ribbon or gauze, scissors, a hot glue gun and a small package of google eyes. Then you’re going to wrap the white ribbon around the mason jar a few times securing the material with hot glue. Once you’ve wrapped the jar add two google eyes to bring the mason jars to life. This project cost just under $10.

These ghost candles are simple to make and cost $1.50 each. All you need to get started with this project are tall, skinny white candles in a clear jar and a black sharpie marker. Create faces halfway down the candle displaying different emotions on them. These candles will last in your holiday decor for years to come. Light them up on a dining table or mantle to awaken the spirits.

Pumpkin Candle Holders

Next up add some natural elements to your centerpiece by adding these pumpkin candle holders. Grab a bunch of small pumpkins and ghords that vary in color and shape. You’ll need a pairing knife and melon ball scooper to create a small hole in the pumpkin to add a candlestick. WARNING: make sure the candle sits on a flat surface so it doesn’t fall over and watch the candles while lit to avoid a fire. Also, be careful cutting the ghords they’re tougher to carve.
