20 Halloween Sticker Ideas to Make at Home (Fun DIY Projects!)

Halloween crafts don't have to be complicated to be fun, especially when it comes to stickers. Whether you're making spooky gift tags, decorating treat bags, or adding a seasonal flair to your planner, Halloween is full of opportunities to make something fun, festive, and DIY.

In this post, I'm sharing 20 Halloween sticker ideas to make at home, from cute design themes to creative ways to actually use your stickers. Let's dive in for spooky season!

🕸️ Halloween Sticker Design Ideas

Let's start with some fun sticker themes you can design using your favorite sticker design software, or even hand-drawn elements if you're feeling extra creative.

1. Ghost Stickers

This one's a classic! Try designing different ghosts in different moods: Happy, sleepy, surprised, or scared. Add speech bubbles with short phrases for extra personality.

2. Pumpkin Faces

Create a sheet of pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns with different facial expressions. These stickers could even be inspiration for a pumpkin-carving activity afterward.

3. Witchy Vibes

Think brooms, cauldrons, spell books, potion bottles, and witch hats. Go for deep colors like moody purples and forest greens.

4. Cute Monsters

Friendly versions of Frankenstein, vampires, mummies, and skeletons make great Halloween stickers for kids and classrooms.

5. Trick-or-Treat Candy Stickers

Design sweet-themed icons like lollipops, wrapped candies, or chocolate bars in Halloween colors.

6. Spooky Sayings

Use fun and quirky fonts to create phrase stickers like "Creep it real" or "Too cute to spook".

7. Black Cats & Bats

Another Halloween classic, perfect for experimenting with special techniques like adding gold foil texture or a holographic layer.

8. Haunted House Scenes

Print out a simple house design on regular paper, then make stickers of spooky windows, tombstones, cobwebs, and more to create a Halloween scene-builder activity.

9. DIY Coloring Stickers

Print black-and-white Halloween doodles as kiss cut stickers to have a fun coloring activity for kids (or even yourself).

10. Skeleton Dance Party

Make a sticker sheet of skeletons in funny poses or with accessories like sunglasses or headphones.

These ideas go beyond designs. They're fun ways to use your Halloween stickers for creative crafts, gifts, and spooky surprises.

11. Goodie Bag Sticker Seals

Seal goodie bags with stickers featuring with your favorite Halloween icons. Use glossy paper or foil accents for extra pop.

12. Envelope Seals for Party Invites

Hosting a Halloween bash? Make envelope seals with spooky icons to jazz up your invitations.

13. Scratch-Off Halloween Stickers

Print your design, cover with clear laminate, then paint over parts with a mix of acrylic paint and dish soap to create scratch-off stickers.

These are perfect keepsakes for guests to take home after Halloween parties.

14. Reward Stickers for Teachers

Make a sheet of positive stickers like "Bat-tastic Work!" or "Wickedly Smart" for teachers to share in the classroom.

15. Glow-in-the-Dark Stickers

Use glow-in-the-dark vinyl or sticker paper to create designs that stand out at night. Think of designs that naturally feature a lot of white, like moons, ghosts, or eyeballs.

16. Trick-or-Treat Bag Labels

Personalize your kids' candy bag by making name labels on vinyl paper in Halloween colors or spooky fonts.

The label can go on the container itself if it has a smooth surface (like a plastic bucket). For other textures (like a cloth bag), you can make fold over hang tags to attach to the handle instead.

17. Treat Jar Labels

Create spooky vintage-style labels for jars filled with treats—great for party tables or teacher gifts.

18. Window or Mirror Clings

Print your stickers on removable vinyl to decorate mirrors, windows, or glass surfaces around the house for extra Halloween cheer that won't leave behind residue like regular stickers.

19. Halloween Party Favors

Print mini sticker sheets as part of party favor bags. For extra fun, make them in a few different themes. This will get the party-goers chatting about which theme they got and even swapping with each other to get their favorite one.

20. Stickers as Temporary Tattoos

Print mirror images of your Halloween designs on temporary tattoo paper. This can be a fun activity for family at home. Or you can toss in a few temporary tattoos in the candy bowl for trick-or-treaters to enjoy as well.

🕸️ How to Personalize Your Halloween Stickers

Here are a few simple ways to make your DIY Halloween stickers even more meaningful and fun

Add names or initials

Use your favorite design software to personalize stickers with your child's name or your family's surname (like "The Smiths' Potion Shop").

Switch up your Halloween color scheme

Not into the traditional orange and black? Try pastels or black-and-gold glam for a unique twist. This works especially well for themed parties or décor.

Turn artwork into stickers

Scan your child's Halloween drawings and turn them into printable stickers, or make stickers directly out of their art with clear sticker paper. It's a sweet way to save their art and make them feel proud of their spooky creation.
