How to Create Spooky Eyeball Lantern Costumes for the Whole Family

How to Create Spooky Eyeball Lantern Costumes for the Whole FamilyFew costumes strike the balance between eerie and clever like these DIY eyeball lanterns.

The round paper shades create the perfect base, painted with brightly colored irises that pop against a black outfit.

Each family member becomes a different eye, making it a brilliant group costume that’s low on effort but high on effect.

Also, add some spider web decorations or fake bats, and you’ve got an entire haunted atmosphere in one go.

Materials Needed

  • 4-6 white paper lanterns (12″-14″ diameter, one per person)
  • Acrylic paint set (black, brown, green, blue, red, gold for irises)
  • 2-3 paintbrushes (small round + wide flat for coverage)
  • Craft knife or scissors
  • Elastic straps or headbands
  • All-black clothing (shirts, leggings, or pants)
  • Optional: fabric markers or body paint (like the belly-eye!)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Assemble the paper lanterns and decide the eye color for each family member.

Step 2: Paint large iris circles in your chosen colors, filling in with shading for a realistic look. Then add a black pupil in the center.

Step 3: Outline veins or lashes with thin brushes for extra creep factor.

Step 4: Cut a small hole in the back or bottom of each lantern for visibility and breathing room.

Step 5: Attach elastic straps inside so the lanterns stay on securely without wobbling.

Step 6: Dress in all black, pop the lantern heads on, and line up as one creepy-cool family of eyeballs!

Tip:

Pregnant moms can get creative by painting a giant eyeball directly on their belly for a standout twist, just like in this costume!
