14 Easy Makes To Turn Valentines Day Into Valoween!

2/6/2021

Valentine's Day is almost upon us and for those of you who are longing for the spooky season to return, this list might just help bring it that little bit closer.

I've picked out 13 easy makes to add a little touch of Halloween to what is considered the most romantic day of the year and included one make that i've created myself too.

These should add a spooky touch to your day this year and turn Valentine's into Valoween instead. Oh and remember... another holiday is almost out the way bringing Halloween one holiday closer.

Voodoo Doll Pin Cushions

These adorable Voodoo Dolls are so easy to make and are perfect for a beginner. You could easily customise these to whatever colours your like and while you're at it why not make a whole family of them?

Add a felt loop to the top to turn this into a hanging decoration or stitch a keyring chain into the top for a spooky little accessory for your keys. These really would make such a great gift for that special someone this Valoween.

You can find out all the details on how to make these right here.

Coffin Gift Box

Nothing says love like a coffin gift box and this one is another easy make. These little coffin boxes are great for gifts or party favours and are the perfect size to place a ring inside...

So whether you're just placing candy inside or about to let your favourite ghoul know you want to spend the rest of your life (and death) with them, you can find out all the details on how to make these (including a free template) right here.

Pom Pom Bats!

Let your favourite ghoul know that you're simply 'batty' about them with these Pom Pom Bats!

These can be made into a number of things including hanging decorations, gift tags and even cocktail stirrers. Customise the wings into all kinds of colours and you've got yourself another perfect gift.

Jack Skellington Cheesecakes

Who doesn't love cheesecake? I could eat it all day long and never get sick of it and if your favourite ghoul likes cheesecake too, then these are perfect!

These are easy to make and don't take too much time either, so you can whip up a batch before your spooky evening together.

You can find out all the ingredients and how to make these delicious treats right here.

Gothic Flower Lights

When I first came across these I had no idea they were made from egg boxes because they look fangtastic!

They're another easy and quick make and would look so great strung up around your place to help set the mood. If you've already got fairy lights in your home, you're all set to make these gothic flower lights. You could even give them as a gift if you're on a budget!

Check out all the details right here.

Planchette Chocolate Box

Obsessed is an understatement with this make because look. at. it!! It looks incredible and is actually quite easy to make if you've got the time.

The instructions do require a cricut machine but for those who don't have one fear not! As you can easily create this design with a steady hand and a craft knife. You can also customise the design however you like.

This box doesn't just have to be for chocolates either, so if you have a gift and are wondering how to wrap it, why not make this? I know if I was given this I would keep the box for as long as possible as it's far too nice to throw away.

Jack Skellington Valentines

You can never have enough Jack Skellington in your life and Valoween is no exception to not include the Pumpkin King!

These Jack Skellington Valentine Decorations would definitely add a spooky touch to your Valoween decorating this year or use them as gift tags for your loved ones gift. Once again they're super easy to make and the link below includes a free template for you to easily print them out (or if you have a steady hand you can draw these out yourself).

Check out all the details right over here.

Valoween Cards

One thing that seems criminally unavailable this time of year are Valoween cards (come on card companies, spooky people need cards too!) but luckily Spooky Little Halloween and That Halloween Bro recently teamed up to create these free, printable Halloween cards!

They look amazing and are the perfect little card to give to your favourite ghoul this Valoween. I know I would be over the moon to receive one of these myself.

You can grab these Valoween cards right here.

Bloody Truffles

So you've made the Planchette box but have no chocolate to put inside? Well you better get in the kitchen to make these Bloody Truffles as they would be perfect to place inside and look absolutely delicious too!

I was expecting these to be quite tricky to make as i've tried to make truffles myself in the past and failed (i'm looking at you fridge from 2018 and your non-setting truffles *weeps*) but they're fairly simple to put together!

Origami Heart Bats

I'm always blown away by origami creations, from a single piece of paper you can make pretty much anything and these bats are a fine example of how a piece of paper can become something amazing.

These origami heart shaped bats would make great decorations for around the home this year or use them as gift tags for your loved ones gift.

Find out how to make these right here.

Valoween Wreath

Who said Valoween decorations have to stay indoors? Decorate that door and let your neighbours know that this ghoul isn't just spooky during spooky season!

I adore this wreath and think it looks so, so good! It's a really simple make that you could actually put together with left over Halloween ribbons (does it count as left over if it's used all year?) and you could get this hanging on the door within an afternoon!

Eyeball Flowers

I have shared how to make these eyeball flowers in the past via Seven Spooky Things and now is the PERFECT time to make these!

Flowers are insanely popular this time of year and although i'm sure anyone who receives flowers will be pleased, they would be even more pleased if they were eyeball flowers. Quick and easy to make, these look fangtastic and if you click the blog link i've shared above, you'll even find a felt alternative for those of you who can't find the right flowers.

To create the perfect bunch just click right here.

Anti-Valentine Heart Cookies

I couldn't make a list of Valoween themed makes without including some kind of heart biscuit and these are incredible.

Inspired by the popular Love Hearts candy, these cookies are the perfect treat for those of us who aren't all that fond of the most romantic day of the year.

To make your own Anti-Valentines cookies just click here. The link also includes a free download for the 'Love is' labels too!

Valoween Garlands

Finally, the last make on this list is a little creation I put together myself that I hope many of you will like.

These DIY Valoween cutouts will create a Love Heart Coffin, Black Heart and Hanging Love Heart Bat garland that you can put together in no time.

You can either save the images below or download the zip file to receive all three printables right away. Simply thread a string through each of the cutouts using a needle and hang around your home this Valoween!

If you do download and make these please do share pics as I would love to see (links below).
