Make The Best Halloween Edit #DTIYS

What can I use instead of colored cellophane or special stickers if I can't find them?

If you can't find colored cellophane or spooky stickers, use colored tissue paper or a translucent plastic bag to lay over the photo and print or draw cutouts to decorate around the photo.

My stickers won't stay on or my digital elements look unbalanced—what should I try?

If stickers won't stick, follow the step to arrange your photo before attaching and use glue dots or clear tape for physical pieces, or move and resize digital elements and reduce filter opacity in your app until the page looks balanced and clear.

How can I adapt this activity for different ages?

For younger children, pick a big main photo and give pre-cut spooky shapes and large stickers to decorate around the photo, while older kids can experiment with advanced filters, layer multiple photos, and craft a clever one-sentence caption that tells a tiny spooky story.

How can we enhance or personalize the finished edit before sharing?

Before you save a digital copy and share on DIY.org, print the collage on cardstock and add vellum or glitter layers, record a short spooky audio clip or combine several saved photos into an animated GIF to make your shareable file more special.
