You’ve probably seen those homes on your neighborhood that have some really great Halloween decorations that they put up each year. Well why not join them, this year, and really dress up your home and yard – you don’t have to buy them from a store, you can make your own!
It can even be a fun activity for your whole family to get involved in, your children would probably love to help you out with making the decorations as Halloween approaches, and it will help to put you all in the Halloween mood.
There are a few basic supplies that are a must-have when you want to make your own Halloween decorations. You can easily get these things at your local craft store. The most important ones are…
- Construction paper
- Glue and/or glue sticks
- Newspaper to help protect your work surfaces
- Tape
- Markers
- Crayons
- Pencils
- Stickers of all types
- Scissors
- Styrofoam (if you want to make tombstones)
- Paints and paintbrushes
- Lettering materials whether they be stencils, stickers, or plastic.
You can add anything else you think you may want to this list or you can see what your children come up with when they look at what is available.
Some people choose a specific theme for Halloween and stick with that and decorate their homes accordingly and choose their costumes to match. For example, if your theme was vampires and you dress up as Dracula or female vampires, then your decorations you should make would be bats, coffins, stakes, fangs etc. However,if you decided your theme this year was to be pirates and you are dressing up as a pirate lass or Captain Hook, then your decorations would include such things as skull and crossbones, ships, cutlasses, parrots, eye patches, jolly roger flags, treasure chest, gold coins etc.
If you want to make a decoration a bit more adult, then you can go for things like wood and glass, and the correct type of paints you would need to cover them. Sometimes, some paints can come off the glass or wood when exposed to the weather or if they are handled too much. You can also get some type of top coat that you can use to keep your items looking nice and lasting longer so you will have them for many more years to come.
It may also be a good idea to consider getting some waterproofing material to apply to your decorations if you know something is going to be used outside and will have to endure weather conditions like rain, snow, and wind. You can ask at your local hardware store as to which product would be the best to use.
For interior Halloween decorations just think about what Halloween means to you. Some of the best types of decorations are ones that will be spooky but don’t actually outright freak someone out. You can get all types of spider webs very cheaply and they will look great, and really add to the Halloween atmosphere. You can stretch out and drape the spider webs wherever you want in your home and then make or buy spiders to add to the webs. Nowadays, you can even find web that works outside and is resistant to all kinds of weather conditions.
If you find that you are having trouble coming up with ideas to make your own Halloween decorations, or you are running short on time and you have only got some of the ones you had planned to make, completed, then you can always go out and buy what else you need. Look at online Halloween stores for great ideas, values, and fast shipping times. Things like orange outdoor lights are great, and you can even now get purple ones as well. Sometimes you may find that you can get things cheaper if you buy more than one item, so buy try to buy something in groups if you can use all of the items they offer. Another source for great ideas for making your own Halloween decorations is to visit your local craft store a month or so before Halloween.
