Spooky Creations: Crafting Halloween Decor on My Scroll Saw

Shop Etsy
Custom Orders 

All of these items are handmade from 3/4inch wood in my toy maker's shop using a scroll saw. Each piece is designed to be painted and used as Halloween decor; however, many grandchildren enjoy using them as toys.

I cut the Halloween witch on my EX21 scroll saw. The precision of the saw allows for intricate designs. Alongside the witch, I've crafted themed cutouts, including Jack-o-lanterns, spiders, scary cats, and skulls.

These pieces are made from 3/4-inch wood, perfect for decoration and play. They can be painted in various colors and make eye-catching decorations. I love seeing my grand kids use these spooky shapes as toys and let their imaginations run wild.

As I transform my workshop into a Halloween crafting space, I encourage you to start your own projects. Handmade wooden cutouts add a personal touch to your Halloween celebrations. Happy crafting!
