As Halloween creeps closer, why not add an extra layer of excitement with a DIY Halloween Countdown Calendar? This fun project is not only easy to make but brings spooky anticipation into your home every day leading up to the big night! I love creating festive paper crafts that are simple, and this calendar is one of my favorites to design.
Using Halloween SVG files and a cutting machine, like the Cricut or Silhouette Cameo, you can craft your own countdown calendar with just a few supplies. It’s a great DIY paper craft that adds a creative twist to your Halloween decor. Each day, reveal a small treat or fun surprise as you count down to Halloween night!
The best part about making your own calendar is how customizable it is. You can play with colors, shapes, and themes—whether you’re going for spooky ghosts, playful pumpkins, or classic haunted house vibes. And don’t worry if you’re new to paper crafting—my detailed SVG files make it super easy to cut out all the pieces.
In no time, you’ll have a personalized, handmade Halloween countdown calendar that brings fun and creativity into your home. Plus, it’s a project the whole family can enjoy together.
Originally there are seven boxes but you can easily cut out more of them to make the mansion even bigger. Each box (except two small towers) have a tear off windows which open when you press them in.
