How to Make a Haunted House out of Cardboard

My eight year-old loves crafting with a hot glue gun, and he inspired this Halloween decoration.

Last year he grabbed a bunch of cardboard and made an off-kilter haunted house for his toy cars. We added some flickering tea lights to the windows and doorways and displayed it next to our candy bowl on Halloween. It was a big hit as the centerpiece to our haunted porch!

This project is meant to be a freestyle wonky haunted house that may look different depending on the crafter. It’s also perfect for the Amazon box collector who isnt sure what to do with the growing pile in their garage. So instead of breaking them down for recycling, use them for crafting instead!

With a few crafting tools and some spooky materials, you can make a distinctive haunted house on the cheap that’s fun for parents and kids to do together.

Cut the cardboard pieces

Cut the cardboard boxes into different sized squares and rectangles. You could measure out same sized pieces/walls for the house, roof and towers, but the house will turn out way creepier if its off-center, crooked and wonky. So have fun cutting different sized pieces with straight and diagonal lines.
