26 DIY Halloween Masks to Wear Alone or Complete Your Costume

Prepare to be the master of (DIY) disguise this Halloween.

Mer Mag

Halloween is just around the corner, and there's no doubt it's one of the most festive holidays on the entire calendar. Whether you can't get enough of scary halloween movie marathons, crafting DIY Halloween decorations in orange and black, or going out of your gourd with tons of pumpkin carving ideas, October 31 is filled with thrills, chills, and plenty of chances to get dressed to kill. It's a spooktacular time of the year for DIYers especially, because the best and least expensive costumes are often handmade. That goes double double toil and trouble for Halloween masks. If you make a false face fancy enough, you don't even have to worry about the rest of the outfit, as is the case with the dazzling DIY cardboard skulls we've dug up for you. All you need to pair them with is black clothing and you're good to go.

We've found glamorous masquerade masks, both crocheted and in seasonally colored sparkles, and plenty of Halloween masks for the kids. That includes DIY Star Wars costumes, animals—both real and imagined—and superheroes, as well. Best of all, many of these ideas make great projects for you and your littles to do together, creating not just masks but memories you'll cherish forever.
