Spooky & Budget-Friendly: DIY Halloween Fun for Students🧛‍♀️

Halloween doesn’t have to be expensive—or stressful. With a little creativity, your dorm or apartment can be transformed into a cozy, spooky haven without breaking the bank. Here’s your DIY guide to Halloween fun for students:

1. Pumpkin Decorating Made Easy

Carve, paint, or even decoupage pumpkins for instant festive vibes. Don’t forget mini pumpkins—they’re perfect for desks and shelves! Many local stores offer student discounts with ISIC, so you can grab supplies for less.

2. Creepy-Cool Paper Decorations

Paper bats, ghosts, and spider webs are super cheap to make. Hang them around your room or across windows to create an instant spooky atmosphere. All you need is some black and white paper, scissors, and tape!

3. DIY Candles & Lanterns

Mason jars can be turned into eerie lanterns with tea lights, paint, or cut-outs. Perfect for adding a cozy yet spooky glow to your study nook. Bonus: some craft shops give student discounts with ISIC—score!

4. Wall Art & Posters

Print or hand-draw Halloween-themed quotes and artwork. Cover your walls with spider webs, skeletons, or fun puns like “Witch Better Have My Coffee.” Cheap, fun, and Instagram-worthy.

5. Creative Costume Accessories

Make small costume pieces instead of buying full outfits. Think cat ears from felt, witch hats from cardboard, or masks you can decorate yourself. It’s fun, budget-friendly, and perfect for spontaneous campus events.

Student Life Tip: Halloween is the perfect excuse to be creative, have fun with friends, and explore seasonal activities. Plus, your ISIC card helps you save on supplies, snacks, and campus events—so you can celebrate fully without stretching your budget.
