SUPPLIES TO MAKE DIY HALLOWEEEN CLOCHE

Spending on seasonal decor can really add up—but giving your home a spooky atmosphere for the Halloween doesn’t have to cost a fortune or require a lot of effort with this DIY Halloween Cloche.

This spooky decoration is so simple, fun, and affordable it’s downright scary! In fact, I was able to make it for less than $15!

All you need to make this Halloween Cloche are:

Plastic Cloche from Target Dollar Spot items
Halloween baby doll head from Walmart (measures 4”x4.5”)
spider web (Dollar Tree)
faux spider (Dollar Tree)
battery operated tea candle (Dollar Tree)
hot glue gun and glue sticks

If you can’t find the baby doll head, you can use one from Amazon, Etsy, or Ebay, by searching for “Halloween baby doll head” or “zombie baby doll head”. Or you could use a skull. Just make sure whatever you use is hollow on the inside.

You could also make you own using this tutorial.

DIY HALLOWEEN CLOCHE INSTRUCTIONS

Making this creepy cloche for Halloween couldn’t be easier. Seriously. If you can use a hot glue gun, then making this DIY Halloween decoration will be a breeze!

Here’s how to make a DIY Halloween cloche:

STEP ONE: ADD SPIDERWEB

First you will need to add a drop of hot glue to the very top of the inside of the cloche lid.
Next, add a small piece of spiderweb.
Once the glue has dried, use your fingers to pull down on the spider web stretching it out until you get a look you are happy with. Use scissors to trim off any extra.

STEP TWO: ADD SPIDER

Using a tiny drop of hot glue, glue the spider to the top side of the baby doll’s head.

STEP THREE: PLACE TEALIGHT

Next, place the battery-operated tea light right in the middle of the cloche’s bottom piece.

STEP FOUR: ADD DOLL

Now place the doll head on top of the light.
Arrange the spiderweb around the head.

STEP FIVE: ADD CLOCHE LID

Carefully replace the lid of the cloche.

And that’s really all there is to it! Isn’t it delightfully creepy?!

At night carefully remove the lid and turn the tealight on for an extra eerie DIY Halloween decoration.

The glowing eyes are spooky enough, but the way the light shines through some of the “cracks” in the head makes this DIY Halloween Cloche incredibly c.r.e.e.p.y!

WHERE SHOULD I PUT MY HALLOWEEN CLOCHE?

Find a prominent place to display this creepy Halloween cloche on its own, or group it with other festive pieces of decor to complete a Halloween-inspired tablescape.

Cloches are also perfect for mantles, windows, or even bookends.

Best of all, this DIY Halloween decoration can be used year after year.

Hi Monica, Thank you! So the doll head actually came that way! I was thrilled to see that the light accentuated those cracks even more! The head was bought at Walmart, in-store. I have seen it online, too, around Halloween time on Walmart, and year-round on Amazon. And if you cannot find the exact one, Amazon has several creepy ones that would work.
