I have never really decorated for Halloween before. My kids are now starting to really enjoy ALL holidays. Honestly, I only started decorating because I felt like a bad Mom. So, I started trolling pinterest for ideas, and found quite a few! Here are some of them…
This is a quick and easy festive makeover. I found all the pumpkins at the Dollar Tree ! They just needed a little bit of a makeover, (they were the most horrid neon orange color). A few coats of spray paint quickly changed that.
The same goes for the candlesticks. I had some leftover candlesticks and I gave them a facelift with some black spray paint.
I happened to find paper mache’ witch hats at Michaels for $1.25 a piece! The finishing touch was the black fabric, also another Dollar Tree find.
All in all, I did all the shelf Halloween decorations for under $16.00!
Does spray paint seem a little overly ambitious ? Then might I suggest this next project ?
This is a very CHEAP and very EASY Halloween decoration. I actually drew my inspiration from a pin on Pinterest, I believe I saw it here first.
You can do this for the cost of black construction paper!
Don’t love bats ? Well, how about a ghost ?
This is one of my favorite new decorations. Is this not the cutest little ghost ever !? This was also a pinterest craft, you can see a full tutorial here.
This next decorative feature requires no prep work at all!
Candy corn + glass jars + candles =Super easy and cute decor.
I added this sign to my festive decorations this year. Honestly it was a pain in the butt. I really don’t have any words of wisdom for those who want to give it a try. I did it the old fashion way, drew out the design on a piece of paneling. After drawn. I used painters tape to fill in the letters, after taped, I painted over the tape. It wasn’t really quick and easy, but, nonetheless, it is a Halloween decoration, and I LOVE the way it turned out.
I know this isn’t exactly a tutorial, but hopefully you got a little inspiration. Thanks for reading, and hope you have a Happy Halloween! I have two little boys that are very excited about the holiday, and I have two adorable costumes for them to wear. I am excited to show their costumes soon!
