8 DIY Halloween Candles To Decorate Your House

October 4, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

This round is all about Spooky Halloween and all of these handmade candles will add some fun and fright to your decorations.

Whether you’re creating a spooky atmosphere for Halloween or just looking to add a touch of warmth to your space, candles are a versatile and cost-effective solution. With the right supplies, you can create your own candles that are tailored to your style and fragrance preferences.

Most of the candles in this roundup are made with basic candle supplies, such as wax and candle wicks. You can also repurpose old candles or use store-bought pillar candles as a base for your designs. With a little bit of creativity, you can transform these basic materials into unique and beautiful candles that are perfect for any occasion.

If you’re looking to add some festive flair to your home for Halloween, consider adding pumpkin spice scented oil to your candles. This warm and spicy scent will create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in any room. Alternatively, you can experiment with other fall scents like cinnamon, nutmeg, or apple cider to create a cozy and comforting environment that’s perfect for the season.

Here are some of my favorite oil blends for Halloween Candles (and other scented crafts too)

Witches’ Brew: A combination of patchouli, bergamot, and black pepper essential oils. This blend is perfect for a spooky Halloween candle that will give off an earthy, spicy scent.

Haunted Forest: A blend of cedarwood, pine, and clove essential oils. This mix creates a woodsy aroma that will transport you to a haunted forest.

Ghostly Mist: A combination of lavender, vanilla, and frankincense essential oils. This blend creates a calming, relaxing scent that is perfect for Halloween.

Candy Corn: A mix of vanilla, orange, and clove essential oils. This blend smells like the iconic Halloween candy and will bring a sweet aroma to your home.

Vampire’s Lair: A blend of blood orange, cinnamon, and peppermint essential oils. This mix creates a spicy and invigorating scent that will awaken your senses and give your candle a spooky twist.

Summer Math Games for Kids

I know the last thing most kids want to do during the summer is anything that feels like school, but the truth is doing little things to reinforce the learning they did the previous year will make the next year easier for them. 

Also true: you can make this learning fun by turning it into game time. 

These printable math puzzles from Living Life and Learning are great to use in the car when you’re on a road trip, or just any time you need a little activity to pass the time. They involve adding numbers up to 10 and include cute summer-themed graphics as well as the numbers. 

Help the bee get back to the hive with math in these math maze puzzles from Artsy Fartsy Mama. There are versions for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for kids of different levels to enjoy.

Of course math games are even more fun if you take them outside. Hopscotch is a classic outdoor game that can be easily made about math. Just one idea is this skip counting hopscotch idea from Math Geek Mama. Have the kids fill in the numbers and them count them off as they jump.  She also has a fun jumping math maze that looks like a lot of fun. 

Look We’re Learning has some more fun ideas for math games you can play outside including a beanbag toss, counting treasure hunt and sidewalk chalk math. 

Some days it’s too hot to go outside so you might need some indoor math games to play. Math Geek Mama also has a great collection of Lego math games and activities for kids of all ages. Primary Playground has games you can play with Uno cards to learn about numbers, sort colors and more. 

Older kids will enjoy the math games using dominoes from Upper Elementary Snapshots. 

Take your math learning on the go with these math themed cootie catchers from 123 Homeschool 4 Me. There are lots of options here including ones just with numbers, with math problems or that ask you to double numbers. Inside numbers are presented as hash marks, fingers or dots to add an extra layer of fun.
