Check out These fun, budget-friendly DIY ideas bring Emerald City charm to your home while keeping kids happily creative.
1. Rainy-Day Pumpkin Faces
Skip the carving mess and paint your pumpkins instead! Use waterproof paints in cozy Seattle shades like gray or moss green, add raindrop streaks, and top each pumpkin with a mini umbrella. It’s cute, safe, and oh-so-Seattle.
2. Space Needle Silhouette Shadows
Bring the skyline home! Cut a Space Needle silhouette from black poster board, tape it to your window, and shine a light behind it. Add flying bats or ghosts for a shadowy, dramatic effect that’s pure Pacific Northwest magic.
3. Evergreen Wreath with Pumpkin Accents
Combine Seattle’s evergreen beauty with spooky charm. Decorate a wreath with mini pumpkins, black ribbon, and faux spiders — perfect for your front door or mantle.
4. Skyline Window Cutouts
Let your windows glow with a paper-cut Seattle skyline! Layer black cutouts with orange or purple tissue paper for a haunting, backlit cityscape that’s fun for kids to make.
5. Floating Pike Place Ghosts
Drape cheesecloth over foam balls, draw smiling ghost faces, and hang them with fishing line. Add tiny paper fish for a playful nod to Pike Place Market’s “flying fish.”
celebrate Halloween Seattle-style — creative, cozy, and full of local spirit.
