Spooky season is almost here! If you’re a Halloween lover who takes decorating your space for the holiday very seriously, you might find yourself bored of the same-old, same-old plastic Halloween decorations year after year. Seems like EVERYONE has those plastic pumpkins and cheesy scarecrows. If that’s you, Craftsman Ave in NYC is here to help you level up your Halloween decor. After all, why have the same decorations as everyone else when you can make your own? If you’re looking for something to do this spooky season that doesn’t involve another basic pumpkin spice latte (but hey, bring one if you must), check out these dangerously fun workshops.
Halloween Themed Craft Workshops at Craftsman Ave
🕷 Weld a Giant Halloween Spider
Forget plastic lawn decorations. This year, you’re going big—or you’re going home to your boring, spider-free porch. In this workshop, you’ll wield a welding torch like a true Halloween blacksmith, bending and fusing steel into your very own giant arachnid. It’s creepy, it’s crawly, and it’s guaranteed to make your neighbors question their life choices. Bonus: it won’t blow away in a windstorm like those sad inflatable skeletons. We only offer a couple dates for this class every year and they fill up fast, so be sure to save your spot!
🪡 Rug Tufting: Create a Spooky Wall Decoration
Why hang up some tacky party store banner when you can tuft something hauntingly chic? In this workshop, you’ll use a tufting gun to create a fuzzy masterpiece that screams “I’m festive, but also deeply unsettling.” Cats, monsters, and more—it’s all fair game. You’ll leave with a wall hanging so cool you might just keep it up until Christmas (and honestly, who’s gonna stop you?).
🌹 Weld a Gothic Steel Rose
Regular roses say “romance.” A blackened, steel-forged rose says “I love you, but also I might be a vampire.” In this workshop, you’ll forge a rose from steel—perfect for your spooky sweetheart, your dark aesthetic, or just scaring off anyone who tries to give you a store-bought bouquet. No watering required. Eternal love, guaranteed.
✨Create Spooky Stained Glass
The best eye-catching Halloween decor is something that sparkles in the sun, like a spooky season themed stained glass creation! From a knife with a heart through it to a spooky critter, what you design is up to you! We are happy to help you create what you’re envisioning, or to work off of our templates.
🦇 Don’t Just Do Halloween—Craft It
These workshops are beginner-friendly, hilariously fun, and the perfect way to make something you’ll actually keep long after the candy’s gone. Spots are limited (and so is spooky season), so grab your seat now before they vanish into the night.
