With Fall around the corner that means we’re inching closer to Halloween. Who doesn’t like to show their spooky spirit and decorate their house or room. With prices on the rise, that could be hard for some people as most Halloween decorations will run up your wallet.
In this article, I will be teaching you how to do a couple of DIY decorations starting with the easy ones and then moving on to the slightly more complicated ones.
Some of the things you will need for these are black and white balloons, black and white streamers, white cloth, string, black paper, scissors, and finally tape. These are things you can get at any time at the dollar store or scattered throughout your house.
For our first decoration, you’re going to want one of your white balloons, blow it up, and then drape the cloth over it for your very simple fake ghost.
For our second one, you are going to have to grab a black balloon and blow it up. Then grab the white streamers and wrap it around the balloon using the tape to hold it still, till it’s fully covered, leaving two openings for your eyes. Once you’re done you will have a mummy head.
Next, grab 2 black balloons and start blowing them up leaving one a little bit smaller than the other one. Once you do that grab a little bit of tape to hold them together and grab your black streamers. Then rip off eight black streamer lines and attach them to the balloons to create a giant spider.
Something you can do to add to the previous one, to give it a little extra spazz, is to grab your black or white streamers and tape them up to form a spider web design on your wall.
For the next decoration, you’re going to have to grab your black paper and use a pencil to trace the outline of a bat. Using your scissors cut them out and tape them to your ceiling or wall for some spooky spirit.
Using your black paper cut out a piece of paper that resembles a donut, you can pick whatever size you think is fitting. Next cut out a piece of paper and roll it into a cone. Using your tape attach them together finally using your scissors to get out any imperfections. This will give you a witches hat you can put on anything like your pumpkins or yourself.
For our last decoration grab your streamers and crumple them up into eight balls. Cut up your cloth into mini squares and drape them over the balls. Use a long piece of string to secure the cloth to the heads and now you have a streamer of mini ghosts.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I think everyone should get the joy of decorating with their family and friends even if you don’t want to drop hundreds of dollars on crazy decorations. These provide fun, easy, and cheap alternatives that allow you to show your holiday spirit on a budget!
