Their decor lines may get all the press, but Michael’s 2026 craft supplies are a Halloween dream. Here are a few of my top picks from the Halloween collection. Stock up now for a whole year’s worth of creative projects!
For the odd individuals who have space on their bookshelves, this Spooky Carnival DIY Book Nook by Make Market is a fun project to try. This illuminated vintage-style design depicts a spooky carnival complete with a creepy carousel and food stands run by skulls and Jack-o’-lanterns. My last foray into book nooks didn’t work out too well. This one, however, looks much more geared towards beginners for a less-frustrating experience.
The finished product is 4.9″ x 5.6″ x 10.4″ and it required AAA batteries for the included LEDs.
Every year Michael’s offers new paper pads for Halloween paper crafters. This year I am in love with the Vintage Spirits Paper Pad and Cozy Conjuring Nightfall Paper Pad, both by Recollections. Each pad comes with 24 single-sided sheets.
The Vintage Spirits Paper Pad features playful black cats, grinning jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts, and skulls. These sheets will add vintage Halloween cheer to your scrapbook pages or papercrafts. These designs are also available in an 8.5″ x 11″ 90-sheet pad.
The Cozy Conjuring Nightfall Paper Pad mixes skulls & pumpkins in florals, fluttering bats, and curious ghosts and spiders crawling across black and white gingham. The whimsical ghosts are my favorite.
Die cut embellishments can add lots of spooky flair to your scrapbooks and paper projects. This year’s assortment at Michael’s has two stand out packs.
The Vintage Spirits Vinyl Die Cut Stickers by Recollections ($4.99) offer a vintage style filled with mischievous black cats, skulls wearing top hats, witchy Jack-o’-lanterns, and wandering ghosts. I like that these are stickers so I don’t have to mess around with glue and tape.
The Vintage Spirits Die Cut Ephemera by Recollections ($5.99) may lack adhesives, but it makes up for that with the designs. In addition to the witchy pumpkins, playful black cats, and dapper skulls, this set has more circus-themed fair as well as Halloween words. There is a mix of die cut paper, vellum, and plastic for different looks and textures.
The Vintage Spirits Ghost & Jack-o’-Lantern Washi Crafting Tape Set by Recollections is an adorable addition to your papercraft and journalling supplies. This 3-pack of tape features a vintage jack-o’-lantern roll, spooky ghosts roll, and vintage Halloween stamps roll. I have already used some of this for a craft project for my front hallway.
Halloween Mini Sticker Book by Recollections offers a variety of cute pumpkins, bats, ghosts, and cats. These are perfect for day planners and journalling. They can add a small little pop of Halloween fun. I like that some of the stickers offer foil accents for that extra sparkle.
Any true paper crafter knows that paper crafting is really two hobbies in one – making the crafts and shopping for supplies. It is always fun to see what new items hit shelves each Halloween season. With Joann out of business, Michael’s is the main franchise craft store out there. I am happy to see their selection is still strong.
