Save this pin to your Pinterest board and come back to it again next year. I’ll keep this post updated!

1. Spooky Halloween Jar Candles

Making spooky Halloween jar candles is a fun way to create decor that adds a haunting touch to mantels, windowsills, or a spooky table setting.

These can be made by simply wrapping a glass jar with gauze bandages and using Mod Podge to secure it in place.

Stick on some paper eyes, or glow in the dark googly eyes to add a creepy fun touch. Then place a LED candle inside to create an eerie glow perfect for any Halloween setting.

2. Halloween Shirts

I have a friend who regularly makes custom designed t-shirts for every occasion on her Cricut maker.

This simple home machine will enable you to create beautifully designed Halloween shirts that you can sell on Etsy.

For this you’ll need to grab Halloween-themed heat transfer vinyl (HTV), a set of blank t-shirts, and your Cricut EasyPress.

Save money by grabbing blank t-shirts as you receive orders, rather than buying them in advance and risking unsold inventory.

You can also branch out and make other fabric crafts to sell such as pillows or tote bags that can be used for trick-or-treating! 

3. Halloween Party Necklace

Halloween-themed resin charms are perfect for creating playful party necklaces or bracelets to sell at your Halloween booth.

You’ll likely find everything you need to make these at your local jewelry-making supply store. 

Get creative with your designs by mixing in some glow-in-the-dark beads or spooky pendants to make your accessories stand out.

Then watch them fly off the shelves!

4. Halloween Disco Spider

Halloween disco spider decor is one of the best Halloween crafts for kids and adults to make together.

Once your kids retire their summer lemonade stand, they can jump into Halloween fun by helping you create these sparkly crafts!

For this project, you’ll just need Styrofoam disco balls, silver pipe cleaners, toothpicks, and a glue gun. 

Start by inserting one end of a toothpick into one disco ball, then connect it to a second disco ball by inserting the other end of the toothpick. 

Next, fold the pipe cleaners in half, shape them into legs, and attach them to the body to create a fun, spooky spider. 

Finish it off with a dab of glue to secure everything in place, and you’ve got yourself a dazzling Halloween decoration to sell!

5. Libbey Glass Halloween Coffee Cups

It seems like there’s a new coffee shop popping up on every corner these days, and it’s not just Starbucks fans flocking in.

Independent coffee spots are brewing up a storm too.

With so many coffee lovers out there, why not tap into the trend by creating spooky Libbey glass Halloween coffee cups for those Halloween-themed drinks?

These cups can be made with Halloween-themed permanent vinyl stickers and a Cricut cutting machine. 

Clean the glass cups with rubbing alcohol to ensure the vinyl sticks well, then carefully apply your designs. 

For an extra touch, you can add some glitter to the vinyl before sealing it with dishwasher-safe Mod Podge. 

Let everything dry completely.

Now, you’ve got yourself some festive Halloween coffee cups that are perfect for selling at a Halloween craft fair or online shop!

6. Personalized Reflective Halloween Treat Bags

Selling personalized reflective Halloween treat bags is a smart idea, as parents will appreciate the added safety feature, and kids will love having their own custom bag design.

You’re little trick-o-treaters will be visible to drivers as they cruise around the neighbor collecting treats with their friends.

These are also highly popular items selling in online shops such as Etsy. 

Just picture taking orders and collecting payments at a holiday craft fair, then delivering your creations locally?

It’s convenient and a profitable way to connect with your community while offering a product that’s both practical and unique.
