Halloween Decorations That I Can Even Make!

I love Halloween! Halloween is totally my holiday... I love the candy. I love the costumes. Most of all, I love decorating!  Did you know that Americans spend more than $8.0 billion each year on Halloween!  This has become a huge industry.  

The best thing about Halloween decorating is that it is easy!  You don't have to be Martha Stewart to do some of these DIY decorations.  Trust me.... if I can do it, you can too.

The first project was one of my first DIY attempts from Pinterest.  

Tomato Cage Floating Ghosts

 

I was SUPER proud, I must have posted it on Facebook fifteen times!  This is crazy easy, cheap and super cute!  All you need is a tomato cage, king-size pillowcase, sharpie and some string lights (white, orange, purple, etc.)  Once you figure out what a tomato cage is (buy at Home Depot or Lowes) and which way to place it (small end on top) it is easy from there.  Wrap the cage with the lights (one set per ghost).  Make a cut about 1/4 way up both sides of the pillowcase and use your sharpie to color some eyes and a mouth.  Slip the case over the cage - and presto - you have floating ghosts!!!!

Monster Door

I love this guy!!  This one I am for sure doing this year!  All you need is 2 paper plates, a glass, crepe paper and duck tape (although I may use painters tape so it doesn't pull off the paint from my door).

Ghost Jugs

This one couldn't be easier - all you need is some empty, clean milk jugs, a sharpie marker, craft knife and a bunch of clear Christmas lights.

Eyes in the Bushes

Easy and creepy!!  Start saving your toilet paper roles - I don't know about you, but that with five of us, we will have lots to spare!!  Basically, all you are doing here is cutting eye holes in the rolls and putting either a glow stick (do different colors for fun) or string Christmas lights through.  Throw some duck tape over the ends of the rolls so the glow sticks don't fall out and there you go.... creepy eyes looking at you from the bushes!!

House-O'-Lantern

I love this one!  It is so cool and super easy!  You just need corrugated cardboard, craft knife, painters tape, glue stick, markers and orange tissue paper!  There are an endless number of cute things you could do with this project.... have fun with it!!
