How to Decorate a House for Halloween on a Budget
- 1). Look around your home. Do you have any old white sheets or old clothes that you were planning on throwing away? Save them and turn them into Halloween decorations. The sheets can be used to make ghosts and the old clothes can make scarecrows or other life-size beings.
- 2). If you have old costumes recycle them by making them part of your home decorations.
- 3). Make use of the outdoors. Carry a bag on your next trip outside, and pick up any unique and interesting looking leaves, twigs, stones and pinecones. Clean them and turn them into scary decorations. Think of twigs hanging from light fixtures or chandeliers or an array of colorful leaves sprinkled about the place.
- 4). Bring out dead plants if you have any. They will add to whole undead scene you are trying to create.
- 5). Put your crafting skills to work. Gather up old pieces of cardboard, colored paper, markers and glue. The cardboard and colored papers can be used to make bat wings, black cats or fake tombstones.
- 6). Make your own spooky spider webs using cotton balls. You basically stretch out the fibers of the cotton balls and drape the creepy spider web over lamps, windows or doors--wherever you feel like.
