Make Your Own Haunted House Art
Halloween is the perfect time of year for spooky fun, so you and your kids will want to make my printable haunted house craft.
The background is created using oil pastels.
Other elements are printed, cut and glued in place.
There is room for creativity with the background colors and placement of the pieces, but this is a fairly foolproof craft.
Even if you don’t think you are artistic, you can follow the instructions and create a beautiful and spooky piece of art.
Kids and adults can have fun making it, and can be proud to display it throughout the Halloween season.
In fact, you may want to save it, so you can bring it out year after year.
Oil pastels are the perfect choice for the background, since the colors are so vibrant.
I love the orange and red sky for this haunted scene, but you are welcome to experiment with other colors.
A deep purple and blue sky would look amazing, too.
Perhaps, I’ll try that color combination the next time I make this craft.
If you have a small child who wants to make this haunted house, you may need to help them with the cutting.
Then they can help with the background and decide where to place the other pieces.
The template includes 4 ghosts. You can use one like you see in mine or you can use them all.
I hope you have a lot of fun, when you make this spooky haunted house art!
