Create Your Own Spooky Halloween Pictures with DIY Frames
Hey crafty friends! Are you ready for part two of making your own Halloween pictures for spooky season? I’m sharing two new Halloween SVG frames I’ve created: the Monster Hands Frame and a Halloween Oval Frame.
Both frames are cut from foil card stock for a stunning, shiny effect. For the Monster Hands Frame, I used green cards tock for the hands, and for the Halloween Oval Frame, I used pink and purple glitter card stock for the bat and spiders to add some extra sparkle. These frames are perfect for creating Halloween photos, scrapbook pages, or card fronts if you resize them.
Supplies You’ll Need:
- Cricut or cutting machine
- Foil card stock (black for monster hands, purple for oval frame)
- Green card stock (for monster hands)
- Pink glitter card stock (for bat and spiders)
- Glue
- Scissors
- Tape
- Printed photos or designs for your frames
Step 1: Preparing Your Frames
For the Monster Hands Frame, cut your main frame from black foil card stock. The hands are cut separately from green cardstock. The foil card stock adds a beautiful shimmer, much nicer than plain black, and is perfect for Halloween décor.
For the Halloween Oval Frame, cut the oval from purple foil card stock and the bat and spiders from pink glitter card stock. The glitter adds a fun and fancy touch that really makes your frame pop!
Step 2: Assembling Your Frames
- Remove the glass from your frame carefully and set aside.
- I used Halloween card stock for my background.
- Place your frames on top of your background and draw with pencil the middle of the frames to cut them out of the background card stock.
- Place your cut frames on top of your background and secure with glue.
- For the Monster Hands Frame, glue the fingers and hand pieces carefully so they are layered correctly.
- For the Oval Frame, glue the bat and spiders onto the oval. Press everything down firmly.
Step 3: Adding Your Pictures
- Print out your photos or images. I used a a couple of fun Halloween images, including one that turned me into a witch with a cat!
- Tape the photos behind your Halloween cards tock so they are secure and centered.
Step 4: Final Touches
- Add the glass back into the frame and ensure it fits snugly.
- Press down the glued elements carefully and let them dry.
- Display your Halloween frames on your wall, in your home, or even use them in scrapbooks or cards.

Making your own frames saves money, lets you customize every detail, and gives your home a unique, festive vibe. Plus, you can reuse these frames year after year. They’re perfect for Cricut crafters, scrapbookers, and Halloween lovers who want something spooky, fun, and personalized.
