DIY decorations

Carve pumpkins with traditional faces or get creative with your own unique designs. Create a spooky garland using black and orange fabric, creepy crawly figurines, or fake spider webs. Cut out bats and ghosts from black construction paper and hang them from the ceiling, or make lifelike floating ghosts by tying white balloons to clear fishing line and hanging them from the ceiling. Wait, how can a ghost be lifelike – aren’t they dead already?

Budget-friendly finds

Visit local thrift or secondhand stores for unique and affordable Halloween items, such as vintage candlesticks, spooky vases, or Halloween-themed artwork. You’ll save even more money if you get creative and make your own Halloween decorations using craft items you already have at home, or by repurposing things such as toilet paper rolls, cardboard boxes or fabric scraps.

Spooky lighting

Drape orange string lights around your home for that haunted look, or create a ghostly ambience with flickering candles or battery-powered flameless candles. Black lights can help you conjure up a suitably eerie atmosphere.

Halloween-themed treats

Bake Halloween-themed cookies, cupcakes, or brownies. Set up a candy buffet with a variety of ghostly candies and treats. Trick-or-treat buckets in the shape of carved pumpkins make perfect holiday serving bowls.

With a little creativity and imagination, you can transform your home into an authentic haunted house, spooky forest or creepy graveyard – and all without spending a fortune. Happy Halloween!
