We love Halloween pretty much all year long in our house. And what this means is that we’re constantly making decorations to put up for the year to celebrate or trying to get ahead of the game and have them prepped and ready for the next year.

The great thing about making Halloween decorations is that you can make them as spooky or as fun as you’d like. There’s minimal effort involved but they always get a HUGE reaction once they’re done. While you can easily buy Halloween decor at the store, I think that making your own is just that much more fun!

What Materials You Need to Make This Halloween Fish Bowl Craft

Small Glass Fish Bowl
Rust-Oleum Gloss Real Orange Spray Paint
Black Craft Felt, 2 Sheets
Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
Scissors
Felt Flowers (Orange and purple, or any colors of your choosing)
Black Adhesive Vinyl
Transfer Tape
Weeding Tools
Orange & Purple Sparkly Pipe Cleaners

How to Make This FishBowl Dollar Tree Pumpkin

1. Spray paint the inside of the fishbowl with the orange spray paint, being careful not to get any on the outside. (If you do, it can easily be wiped clean with an alcohol pad)

2. While the spray paint is drying, open the Jack O’ Lantern Face SVG. Adjust the size to fit your fishbowl. (I adjusted the size to 3.98 widths by 3.74 height) Place the black adhesive vinyl on a cutting mat, and follow the prompts to cut the vinyl. Remove from the mat, and using weeding tools, remove all excess vinyl. Set aside.

3. Next open the Witch Hat SVG in Design Space, and again adjust the sizes to fit your fishbowl. (I adjusted the size of the brim to 6 for the width and 6 for the height) Ensure the setting is for custom, and then select Felt. I customized the setting to 325 for pressure, and to cut three times. Place one felt sheet on the cutting mat. I prefer to use masking tape or painter’s tape to help keep the felt in place while cutting, but this is optional. Follow the prompts to cut the felt. Remove the felt from the mat, and use scissors if necessary if any portion didn’t get fully cut. Place the next sheet of felt on the cutting mat, and adjust the size of the cone of the hat. (I adjusted the size of the cone to 7.42 width by 4.37 height) Follow the prompts again to cut, and remove from the mat.

4. Using the hot glue gun, glue the seams of the cone of the hat together. Roll up the leftover scrap felt, and place it inside of the cone. Hot glue the cone onto the brim of the hat.

5. Starting with the purple pipe cleaner, place it around the base of the cone, and cut it to fit. Twist the ends to seal them together. Repeat this process by alternating between purple and orange pipe cleaners. The pipe cleaner circles will get smaller as they move up the cone of the hat.

6. Hot glue the felt flowers between the cone and brim of the hat.

7. Cover the vinyl with transfer tape. Apply the vinyl face to the fishbowl.

8. Place the mesh lights inside of the fishbowl, and place the hat on top.
