Halloween can be memorable for both children and adults. Instead of using only classic carved pumpkins, surprise family and friends with spooky decorations made from scrap materials. With imagination and basic DIY skill, old machine parts, keys, bolts, chains, and other forgotten objects can become original Halloween pumpkins.
Creepy Halloween Pumpkins for Indoors and Outdoors
Turn your porch into a spooky scene for the season. Instead of carving scary faces into pumpkin lanterns, attach nuts, screws, old keys, and other small pieces to create a real eye-catcher. With old keys, you can even leave a scary message.
Original Halloween Pumpkins to Make Yourself
Machine parts can decorate pumpkins on the porch or in the courtyard and give them a personal touch. With the right lighting, these homemade pieces become small works of art.
Upcycling project to make yourself
Decorate your Halloween pumpkins with broken, rusty, or unused objects from the shed, basement, or garage. Wire, spare parts, antique keys, bolts, chains, and metal pieces can all be worked into an imaginative Halloween display. Just look at the little mouse on the right and the ladybug mini pumpkin on the left.

Old objects in different colors, shapes, materials, and sizes can create a strong decorative effect when they are combined well.
