1. Foam Crows
Yes, you can buy crows from the dollar store but you also can make your own. It's more fun if you make your own, actually. The materials that you will need for this project are foam shapes in egg and cone forms. You will also need joint compound and black feathers. For the feet, thick wire should do nicely.

2. Nevermore Wreath
How lovely! If you want to add a literary vibe to your DIY Halloween décor, this raven wreath idea is perfect. You will be needing one very old book for this project. Roll the individual pages and then hot glue to a wreath form. Do not worry if the pages start to disintegrate; the “old” look will add charm to your Halloween wreath. To finish, add raven and spiders.

Love to sew? We have a nice raven Halloween sewing project that you will love. Your raven hanging softie doesn't have to follow the shape shown here. You can try a different silhouette that you like and then use it to cut your black fabric. Sew around the edges, leaving a 1-inch gap for turning inside out. Fill with fiberfill and hand sew the gap.
