They call it witchcraft ...or if you're me, which craft am I going to make!?

Halloween is the wildest holiday of the year, and it's rapidly approaching. So I pulled some of the most fun DIY projects you can make from around the Internet to celebrate the spookiest day of the year.

We're kicking it off with a project featured in my upcoming book, DIY, Dammit: A Guide to Curse-Free Crafting. It's the "Lighten Up Tank," which was actually a tee (fall is cold!), and which I make in the video below with the lovely Hannah Hart. Take it away, us!

Now that you've got something to wear to show how much of that Halloween spirit you have, it's time to make something that expresses you and everyone else in the world's undying love for anything and everything pumpkin-spiced. These pumpkin muffins from Cooking With My Kid are hands down my favorite thing to make.

Baking is hard! So hard, in fact, that you deserve a drink. Which conveniently happens to be the name of the web series and book by the same name crated by my friend Mamrie Hart. Here she is making a frightening Halloween cocktail.

Since I'm not a HUGE fan of costumes, it actually takes me a couple of the above cocktails to be brave enough to dress up. Luckily for us, the Internet is full of incredible and easy do-it-yourself costumes like this one from Studio DIY.

That's the cutest hamburger I've ever seen. Go check out their site for a whole lot more fun homemade costumes.

Like any other holiday, Halloween is a great excuse to eat like no one's watching. Especially the child you're stealing the candy from. What!? In my defense, I deserve something for my trick-or-treating chaperone duties. Wrap up your treats adorably with this fun craft from One Little Project:

To amp up the spookiness of your home for your visitors, put up these awesome trash bag spider webs from How About Orange.

Looking good, Halloween! Looking good! And what lives in giant man-made spider webs? Ah, of course, the elusive mini donut spider from It's Always Autumn.

Are you getting scared? Keep freaking everyone out with this very fun glow-in-the-dark slime recipe from A Pumpkin and a Princess.

Wow. This is a lot of DIY Halloween bang for your crafting buck. So why not wrap it all up with another tutorial from yours truly?

Hope you have a fun and safe O' Hallows Eve. Trick or treat!
