In case you’ve bought a pumpkin but are feeling too lazy to carve it, here’s a simple alternative. Family Education has a bunch of printable masks that you can simply stick on the pumpkin.
You can choose from an array of black eyes, noses, and mouths. Print it on a piece of paper, cut it out, and use some tape to stick it. It’s not going to look awe-inspiring, but it’ll get the job done.
If you haven’t bought a pumpkin, the site has you covered there too. Just download their Jack o’Lantern printable and print it. It’s blank white with an outline, so you can even fill it with different colors if you want.

, but it’s flat out cool nonetheless.
If you plan on giving a few gifts this Halloween, wrap it in this cute ghoul-themed wrapping paper. It’s so well made and it looks so great! You could even use it to create little parcels of candy.
The paper is available in two colors: black and white. The ghouls stand out more against the black one, but that obviously will use much more ink. If you’re printing at home, go with the white version. The black version is good for printing at a professional store.
Kristen Magee set to work making a set of hand-drawn labels with a Halloween theme, going with the white-black-orange colors. They look incredibly cool and will give a visual boost to just about anything.
You can print them on a regular paper and use tape to stick them, or print them out on sticker paper. Remember, if you’re using sticker paper, cut them before you peel them! If you peel first, you’ll have limited time to cut the sticker.
If you’re entertaining a bunch of kids (or senior citizens), nothing passes the time like playing Bingo. Heidi from OneCreativeMommy made a set of 30 unique Halloween-themed bingo cards that you can download for free.
This is a perfect tool for teachers who want to bring a little festive cheer into their classroom. The PDF also comes with 24 singular images of the icons, which you can cut and mix. Pick from them and make a grand show.
What Should You Print and What You Shouldn’t?
In our opinion, while there’s plenty of other stuff you can print, it might be more advisable to buy it. For example, cupcake wrappers shouldn’t be printed at home on regular A4 sheets, you should be using special wrapper paper.
Which items do you think are better bought than printed for a cheap DIY hack?
