Sharing is caring!

This cute and festive Monster Halloween Decor Craft is perfect for crafters of nearly all ages. I love making little monsters from inexpensive items from the dollar store.

Or, you can paint these ahead of time and pick up some little clay pots for a fun Halloween party activity or a Monster party project.

4. Attach all features to clay pots with glue gun and glue sticks.  Be sure to help little ones if using a glue gun to adhere. Remember you can make these your own and add extra eyes or crazy hair too.

Fill with your favorite Halloween candy and create a fun gift or party favor for a classmate, co-worker or neighbor!

These are so fun for Bunco nights and just as a little gift for office buddies. You can also have some fun with some ribbon too! Just wrap some natural or white woven ribbon around the pots and attache with glue.

Attach a couple of googly eyes and once it dries, you can use it for serving!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
