3. Pumpkin Candles

@ashhhkeene Planning, Setting these up and hanging out with my friends brings me so much joy🫶🏼 everything is linked in my bio under LTK🫶🏼 #craftnight #girlsnight #girlscraftnight #diy #diycandle #fallparty ♬ Wonderful World – Sam Cooke

There’s nothing more fun than making a homemade candle, and we love how this creator brought this idea to life. From sweet cinnamon scents to pumpkin and even bourbon pecan, gather a selection of melting wax to give your friends a variety of scents to choose from. Make the candles even more festive by adding the wax to an adorable pumpkin jar, like the one in the video.

4. Fall Fabric Chains

@madison_manzow best craft ever #fallcrafts #fall #september #fallgirlsnight #falldiy ♬ House Tour – Sabrina Carpenter

These adorable fabric chains are super easy to make! Plus, they are the perfect decoration to hang over a doorway, add to a stair banister, or drape across your fireplace mantle or as a fall garland.

5. Clay Ghost Lanterns

@learning_with_lainey Clay ghost lanterns!🫶🏼🕯️👻🎨 #halloween #halloweencrafts #fall #fallaesthetic #spookyseason #spookyszn #spooky #spookycrafts #october #ghosties @Courtney Theiler ♬ Fall October Halloween horror classic(177261) – rareNote

How adorable are these clay ghost lanterns? All you need are some art dry modeling clay, wood utensils, Mod Podge, and some fall paper napkins. Once the ghost figure is molded and set, cut out the leaves on the fall napkins to create a cute pattern to Mod Podge onto the surface. 

When it’s ready to go, place a flawless candle underneath to illuminate the ghost for a cozy, spooky glow.

6. Fall Candle Painting

@hannahmblacksmith tbh this was way harder than i expected😅🕯️inspired by @maggie #fallactivities #candlepainting #falldecor #girlsnight #diy #autumnvibes #candleart #fallaesthetic #fallactivity ♬ There She Goes – Ben Grosse Mix – Sixpence None The Richer

Decorative candles make a home super cozy for the fall season, so why not gather your friends together to make some of your own? All you need are some basic taper candles and painting supplies to begin. Make designs like fall leaves, acorns, and pumpkins for a festive touch around your home.

7. Pumpkin Painting

@sipandscript Busy painting pumpkins with the girls 🎃🎨 #pumpkinseason #pumpkinpainting #craftnights #craftygirl #artsy #DIY #sipandscript #pumpkinparty #falldecor #fallactivites ♬ Sweater Weather (Sped Up) – The Neighbourhood

One of our favorite fall crafts to do with friends is pumpkin painting. It’s so simple to do and is always so much fun creating different designs. You could make it relaxed and have fun with it, or you could also make it a pumpkin painting competition. However you choose, it’s totally up to you. Either way would be so much fun!

8. DIY Icon Glasses

@laurensazhome Everyone’s been obsessed with the Anthropologie icon glasses, so I thought it would be fun to DIY our own! 👻🍂 It’s such a cute girls night craft idea for fall or Halloween. Plus, you’ll have glassware that feels designer without the price tag. What design would you make? To shop the materials I used, see my Amazon Storefront (link in bio) 🎃And follow for more hosting ideas + easy DIY crafts. #DIYHalloween #FallCrafts #GirlsNightIdeas #HostingInspo #AnthropologieDupe @Sharpie Official @Amazon Home ♬ we fell in love in october – girl in red

If you love the Anthropologie Icon Glasses, but don’t want to spend the money on a set for the fall season, then you can DIY them at home. Grab a couple of acrylic or glass drinking glasses and some paint pens to create the designs.

9. Pearly Ghost Mirror Frame

@heyitskayzie Comment “Ghost” and I’ll send you everything I used for this girls night craft! So easy and so much fun. A good way to have cute little ghost included in your fall decor! #diy #diycraft #fallcraft #falldecor #spookyseason #girlsnight #funmom ♬ august – Taylor Swift

When we say these pearly ghost mirror frames, we had to add them to the list of crafts to try this year. They are so stinking cute, and they are surpassingly easy to make as well!

10. Fall Doormat Painting 

@macyterry2 Fall craft night with my book club girls was one for the books! 😉🤍📚🎃🦇👻 #craftnight #craftideas #fallcraftideas #bookclub #booktok #crafty #fallcrafts ♬ Fall October Halloween horror classic(177261) – rareNote

Everyone needs a cute fall mat to roll out on their porch! It’s time to gather your friends to make a night of crafting cute doormats. Have everyone bring their own coir mat, and the host can supply craft paint, stencils, and paint brushes for everyone to use. 

We show you how you can host a fall doormat painting party in this party guide.

11. DIY Fall Coasters

@krystaldunn_ Fall girls night craft idea🍁👻 This was so easy and fun to make! Everything is in my AMZ storefront #DIYHalloween #halloweendecor #SpookySeason #SpookyDecor #FallCrafts #HalloweenVibes #PumpkinDIY ♬ Halloweentown Theme – Retrospectre

Seasonal coasters on your living room coffee table add a simple decorative touch for the season. That’s why we think this craft would be so much fun. It’s super simple. All you need is basic white tile, cork stickers, fall tattoos, and a top coat to seal the design. In the end, you’re left with adorable fall/Halloween coasters that you’ll cherish for years to come.

12. Ghost Wall Art

@aitana_risher So cuteeee needed this girls night 🫶🏼👻 #girlsnight #fallcrafts #halloweencraft ♬ Pink Friday Girls – Nicki Minaj

We can’t think of a more relaxing fall evening with our girls than one that consists of drinking wine and painting a festive art piece for Halloween. Have everyone bring their own canvas and beverage of choice, and all the host needs to supply issome black acrylic paint and some putty (to create the ghost detail on the bottom).
