I’ve been getting some emails about the printable circles I created to make your own DIY Halloween costume awards and realized that I’ve never posted about them here, so I figured we better post about them today!

If you’re hosting a Halloween party, you’ll need some costume awards for your costume contest, right?! Well, don’t go to the party store and buy those cheesy ribbons or badges, just make your own – they won’t take you much time and you probably already have the supplies at your house!

Supplies

card stock
ribbon
crepe paper
washi tape
a glue gun
2″-2.5″ circle punches,
scissors
glue dots

I made three different versions of the awards.

Use some of that washi tape you’ve been collecting to make some Halloween ribbons:

You can find a great tutorial for DIY washi tape ribbon awards over on Oh My Handmade.

I love paper medallions…make some simple Halloween costume awards using paper medallions and ribbon…

Find a great tutorial for making paper medallions on The Shabby Nest. Once the medallions are made, simply cut some circles out of card stock, add the printable award circle and attach your ribbons using glue dots.

These Halloween costume awards are made out of crepe paper, cardstock circles and ribbon…

Once Wed has a great tutorial for making the crepe paper medallions.

To download the free printable Halloween award circles, simply click on the orange button below. The PDF includes 3 pages – one is blank for you to write in your own awards and the other two are pre-populated.

My award ribbons are pretty simple, but you can easily add more layers of cardstock circles, crepe paper and washi tape and more ribbon to make your awards even more fancy!

So, here’s the big question: what are YOU dressing up as for Halloween??? Me…I’m boring and don’t usually dress up, but I know some people are totally into it! I’d love to hear your creative costume ideas!!

I’m totally into black & white right now, especially for Halloween! I kind-of wish all my Halloween decor was black and white and I’m tempted to bust out the spray paint and coat everything that I have with black or white spray paint, but I guess I’ll resist, because I might regret it later! I do have 1 small table in my entryway that I dedicated to black and white only, but other little vignettes around my home include orange with some green and purple thrown in there too.

As you all know, I also love free printables, so to feed my black and white obsession, I’ve collected some of my favorite free black and white Halloween printables, in case you’re in a black and white mood too.

I think this is the weekend that we’re going to BOO! our neighbors For those of you not familiar with this fun tradition, what you do is make or buy some fun goodies to place in a cute container/sack and put them on a neighbors doorstop, ring the bell and run! Attached to the treats is a cute sign that is then placed in the window so the other neighbors know who has been BOO’ed. Whoever gets BOO’ed then BOO’s 2 other neighbors. It’s just a fun little Halloween activity to put a smile on an unsuspecting neighbor’s face.

There are so many darling “We’ve Been BOO’ed” printables, I wanted to round them up and put them all here in once place for you to choose your favorite. Just go to the designer’s website via the link provided to download your sign and BOO! your neighbors this weekend!

Anders Ruff has created the 3 fun designs above along with a cute ‘glam’ version to go with their new Halloween collection this year.

Bright orange and green striped sign from my friend Rebekah at A Blissful Nest.

Miranda from Whimsical Printables has created 4 darling designs!

I’ve used The TomKat studio’s signs in years past and she has a new one to add to the collection this year.

Stefanie from Anna and Blue Paperie created a fun chevron patterned sign.

The cute girls at Petite Party Studio created a Frankenstein version.

Colorful ghost sign from Amanda’s Parties To Go.

Another cute ghost printable from Mimi’s Dollhouse.

I haven’t decided which one I’m using this year and I think I’ll keep it a secret just in case any of my neighbors are reading this Do you BOO?? If not, start this year, it’s so much fun, the kids love it!!
