The spooky season is here and it’s the one time of year you can bring out your witchy side and choose to trick or treat your home. The choice of fun and fancy decorations and pumpkin carving ideas can be a little overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be if you put in a little prep and research time. You’ll be surprised with what you can do with a few lights, fake bats and materials you probably already have around the home.
If you’re hosting or want to get the kids involved, here are five easy decorations which will get your home into the holiday spirit, while meeting all budgets and skill levels, and impressing everyone.
Magic Potion Bottles
Reach to the back of your cupboard for your old food jars or use an old candle jar and create some potion bottles to place around the home or near your trick or treat table out the front. Simply add any fake fingers or toy animals (snakes or mice would work a treat), fill the jar with water and add some food colouring and glitter so the creepy parts float around. This stands out and will have people looking twice.
Creepy Candles
Use up your old candlesticks or head to your nearest dollar store and stock up on as many different size candles you can. Use bright red candlesticks in dark-coloured candle holders, then add drips of red, hot glue to resemble dripping blood. It makes a statement but also adds some light too which means you can set these up early and have them stay out a little longer!
Googly Eyed Fruit and Veg
If you’re not typically one to get into the Halloween spirit, this is one of the easiest things you can do which will put a smile on your little one’s face. Buy a pack of googly eyes and stick them on your fruit and veg for a touch of fun for the following few weeks. Just make sure your kids aren’t tempted to eat them…
Cobweb Crazy
One of the easiest and most effective ways to add some Halloween cheer is to buy some cobwebs in bulk! Hang the more delicate ones over artworks or ledges around in the home, or buy some filmy white material and drape it in as many places as possible, such as the front balcony, over your trees or near the front door. This is a quick win and will make your home stand out.
Tattered Curtains
Find some old material, fabric or cloth laying around and tear it up into smaller pieces so you can hang it over your windows or entry ways. This creates an eerie feeling and adds some spooky vibes the moment you step inside your home. Plus, it’s the perfect way to use up your old craft box.
