Halloween Decorating Ideas

 One of the most exciting holidays  Halloween is around the corner and if you have not prepared yet for the decoration I gave some ideas that I think would help you out. Raid your recycling bin to make these glass ghosts in four easy steps: First, remove labels and caps from bottles  Spray-paint them white, then draw faces on with black marker. Finally, throw in colorful straws for cute centerpieces. 

Cobweb Coasters

Cobweb CoastersHook five bobby pins onto a 3/8-inch flat metal washer. Then, wrap twine around and thread through each bobby pin. Spray-paint everything white for that ghoulish look, and scatter small toy spiders around the table.

Spooky Terrarium

 After you search the backyard for twigs, moss, and rocks, scour the house for small Halloween-themed decorations like skulls and scary birds. Then, build your scene on an upside-down lid of a Mason jar. When your miniature landscape looks complete, screw the jar onto the lid and place in the window or next to your front door in lieu of a pumpkin.

Vampire Napkin Rings

Creepy Wall Hangings

For cheap jack-o-lantern decorations that will last past Halloween, cover clean, empty jars with orange construction paper or tissue paper. Add features with black construction paper, then pop in a tea candle—with flames, or battery-operated—and watch your "pumpkin" glow.


Front Door Mummy

Make a ghoulish first impression with this five-minute Halloween door DIY from Honey and Fitz. First, tape paper streamers to the front door, overlapping the strips to give a wrapped look. Then, cut sheets of black and white construction paper into circles to make eyes. Place the eyes on the top of the door and tape to secure.

Mummy Seating Cards

Decorate inside and out for Halloween with this ingenious idea from Curly Birds. Glue gauze, googly eyes, and cardboard to fashion small, square mummies. Set them out as place cards for a Halloween party, drop a few into the candy bucket for trick-or-treaters, or send to school with the kids to give out to classmates.
