The Halloween season is the perfect time to get creative and these DIY Halloween projects are a great way to flex those skills.

From black cat pumpkins to chic mini mouse ears and even a gruesome digital t-shirt, there are a number of DIY Halloween projects that can help people express their scary sides this year. Many of them are fun for the whole family.
