One of the best parts about decorating your home for Halloween is making it unique.

If you’re looking for a fun craft for this Halloween, make your home glow with one of these Halloween luminary DIYs. They’re sure to make a statement and help you stand out from all the other homes on the block.

14. Colorful Skull Luminaries
Bring some color into your design by painting some mason jars.
15. Jack-O-Lantern Luminaries
The less paint you use, the brighter your mason jars will shine.
16. Plastic Cup Lanterns
Be sure to hold onto those plastic cups and re-purpose them as monster lights.
