Take a look at our helpful hacks for a cheap and fun Halloween. Whether hosting a party in your student flat, or if you’re off out into town, we’ve got you covered:
-
Costumes
Here’s a top 10 list of cheap costumes ideas that are perfect for any last-minute Halloween party invites. Our favourites are the light-up jellyfish hat and pop-art face paint!
-
Decorations
These bin bag spiders webs are a great way to decorate your student flat. And these floating ghosts are fun to make with your housemates; all you need to do is drape cheesecloth over a balloon or Styrofoam ball using PVA glue.
-
Food
Check out these delicious spider cupcakes which are super easy to rustle up in a student kitchen. And there’s a huge selection of spooky recipes here – we love the pumpkin hummus and slime bug cups.
-
Drinks
Get creative and make creepy ice cubes. Simply add a spot of food colouring to water, or even a few gummy worms. This sherbet punch recipe is non-alcoholic and makes a great centrepiece to your Halloween refreshments table.
-
Games
There are some classic student Halloween games such as mummy wrap (all you need is some toilet paper!), and foodie ones such as doughnuts on a string or face the cookie.
We host free on-site events for all residents at our accommodation sites. From Pancake Day, to Easter, Halloween and Christmas. Take a look at all the free fun you could be having when living with Universal Student Living!
