1. Spooky Halloween-Themed Wall Art
One of the most popular Halloween crafts using laser engraving is creating spooky wall art. Whether it’s a haunted house silhouette, eerie forest scenes, or a carved jack-o’-lantern, engraved wall art is a simple yet impactful way to add a festive touch to your home. You can use the Monport 40W Pro to cut and engrave intricate Halloween designs on wood or acrylic, creating stunning wall hangings for your home or as a unique gift.
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Laser Engraved Halloween Wall Art:
- Set Up the Monport 40W Pro: Position the laser engraver in a safe, ventilated space, and connect it to your computer.

These spooky wall art designs can be sold as seasonal home décor or given as laser engraved gifts to friends and family during Halloween.
2. Customized Halloween-Themed Jewelry
Personalized jewelry is another excellent idea for laser engraved gifts during Halloween. Whether it's a bat-shaped pendant, engraved with a name, or eerie charm bracelets, jewelry pieces make for thoughtful, themed gifts. Laser engraving allows for intricate designs on metals, wood, or acrylic, giving you endless possibilities for creating one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.
Here’s how you can create custom Halloween jewelry using the Monport 40W Pro:
- Select Your Jewelry Material: Acrylic, leather, and metal are great options for laser engraving jewelry.
- Design Your Jewelry: In Lightburn, create or download a design, such as a bat silhouette or haunted house. You can even add personalized text.
- Engrave: Using the Monport 40W Pro, engrave the design onto your chosen material. Adjust the laser’s power based on the material’s thickness.
- Cut and Polish: Once engraved, cut out the jewelry pieces, and polish them for a clean finish.
These customized jewelry items can be offered as gifts or sold during the Halloween season, providing unique options for holiday-themed accessories.
3. Personalized Trick-or-Treat Buckets
What better way to impress trick-or-treaters than by giving them personalized buckets or treat bags? With laser engraving, you can create custom Halloween buckets that feature a child’s name, spooky images, or fun phrases like “Boo!” or “Trick or Treat.”
Step-by-Step Guide to Engraving Trick-or-Treat Buckets:
- Select a Material: Use materials like acrylic or wood for durable, reusable treat buckets.

- Finish and Seal: Add any extra touches, such as paint or sealant, to ensure the design lasts throughout Halloween night.
This project is a fun and practical Halloween craft that can be both a unique gift or a product you offer as part of your seasonal business.
4. Laser Engraved Pumpkins
Pumpkin carving is a classic Halloween activity, but what if you took it up a notch by laser engraving pumpkins instead? Using the Monport 40W Pro, you can create intricate, delicate designs that are difficult to achieve with traditional carving tools. Laser engraved pumpkins are long-lasting if done on fake or acrylic pumpkins, making them ideal for those who want to keep their Halloween decorations for years.
How to Laser Engrave a Pumpkin:
- Choose the Pumpkin: For long-lasting results, choose artificial pumpkins made from acrylic or plastic. If you're using a real pumpkin, note that the engraving will eventually degrade.
- Create a Design: In Lightburn, design a spooky face or intricate Halloween pattern.
- Set the Laser: Adjust the settings for the pumpkin’s material. Acrylic pumpkins may need higher power, while real pumpkins require low power settings.
- Engrave: Place the pumpkin in the laser bed, and engrave the design using the Monport 40W Pro.
Laser engraved pumpkins can serve as beautiful centerpieces for Halloween parties or unique laser engraved gifts for loved ones.
5. Halloween-Themed Drinkware and Party Favors
For those throwing Halloween parties, personalized drinkware and party favors are fantastic laser engraving ideas. You can engrave Halloween-themed designs onto glass mugs, tumblers, or even coasters, giving your guests something memorable to take home.
Here’s how you can create custom Halloween drinkware:
- Select the Drinkware: Glass or stainless-steel tumblers work best for laser engraving.
- Design the Graphics: Use Lightburn to create Halloween-themed designs like witches, pumpkins, or spooky phrases.
- Engrave: Position the drinkware in the laser engraver, and use the Monport 40W Pro to engrave the designs onto the surface.
- Clean and Package: Ensure the drinkware is polished and clean after engraving, and package them as personalized party favors.
These customized items make great laser engraved gifts and can serve as a fun addition to your Halloween party.
