In preparation for Halloween, consider some fun Halloween crafts and DIY Halloween accessories like these earring ideas! October is the perfect time for crafting accessories, and DIY earrings are a fun and easy way to get into the spooky spirit. Here are 8 creative ideas for Halloween-themed earrings that you can make at home with materials from your local craft store or online!

Spider Web Earrings

Create spider web earrings with black polymer clay and white clay for details (or you can paint on the web). If you do not wish to make a spider out of clay you could attach a tiny plastic spider to the center with strong glue. Glue in jump rings and add earring hooks to finish them off.

Pumpkin Charm Earrings

Nothing says Halloween like pumpkins! Use orange polymer clay to mold small pumpkin charms. If you want you can add a green stem top to both. Use a tooth pick to carve in details to your pumpkin. Once baked and cooled, attach them to earring hooks with jump rings. For an extra touch, paint tiny green leaves and vines using acrylic paint. These adorable earrings are perfect for fall festivities!

Fabric Ghosts

Create ghost earrings using white felt or fabric. Similar to finger puppets, cut out ghost shapes from felt pieces and use black embroidery floss (or markers even) to make eyes and a mouth. Add jump rings and attach them to earring hooks for a simple yet effective seasonal accessory. These lightweight earrings are both cute and simple to make! You can also try other monsters out of felt too.

Bat Wings

Channel your inner vampire with bat earrings. Cut out wing shapes from black felt (or you can use black polymer clay) and add some shimmer with silver glitter. Attach the wings to earring hooks and consider adding a small bead or rhinestone as an accent. These earrings will have you soaring through Halloween night!



Candy Corn Dangles

Celebrate the iconic Halloween treat with candy corn earrings. Use yellow, orange, and white polymer clay to shape tiny candy corn pieces. After baking, attach them to earring hooks! You can also choose any other Halloween candy to make into earrings.

Skull or Bones

For a classic Halloween vibe, create skull or bone earrings. You can use black and white polymer clay to sculpt tiny skulls and crossbones. Alternatively, you can purchase premade charms to simplify the process. Pair them with black or silver chains for a chic, edgy look.

Witch Hat Earrings

Craft miniature witch hats using black felt or cardstock. Cut out a cone shape for the hat and a circle for the brim, then attach them together. You can decorate the hat with glitter, ribbon, or even tiny plastic broomsticks for added flair. These whimsical earrings will cast a stylish spell!

Tips for DIY Success

  1. Gather Your Supplies: Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary materials. Basic supplies might include polymer clay, felt, beads, earring hooks, and glue.
  2. Get Creative: Don’t be afraid to mix and match ideas! Combine elements from different designs to create unique pieces.
