We built this DIY Haunted House Shadow Box as a Halloween project to celebrate the spooky season and share a fun laser cutting idea with the community. The layered design features glowing windows, ghosts, pumpkins, and other details that bring a classic haunted house to life. Our goal was to make a project that’s simple to cut, easy to assemble, and enjoyable to customize. To save time on painting, we used pre-colored plywood, which allowed us to focus more on the design and assembly while still getting a vibrant finished look. This haunted house works perfectly as desktop décor, a party centerpiece, or a handmade Halloween gift. We hope it inspires others to create their own seasonal decorations and enjoy the process of making.
Download the file we’ve uploaded in the supplies section. Load it into your laser and cut each layer from the corresponding color of plywood.
Once the pieces are cut, stack them in order and glue the layers together. Make sure everything lines up before the glue sets.
