Introduction

Now it is getting close to Halloween, a real time of getting oneself into something freaky. Decorate your home and have fun while doing it. Whatever Halloween decoration ideas you might be using, whether you’re hosting a party or just want to enjoy the festive atmosphere, these Halloween decoration ideas will help turn your space into a haunted delight.

1.Decorating with Skeletons

Of course, nothing screams Halloween like the skeletons! Putting skeleton figures of Halloween around your house or yard adds a great touch of creepiness. Setup life-size skeletons to show them performing everyday activities like sitting on a bench, reading a book, or even lounging on a beach chair while soaking up some sun. It gives it a more humorous twist on a very spooky theme, of course your neighbors and guests will enjoy it all.

2.Floating Hanging Witch Hats

Give a magical touch to the decor with floating witch hats hanging from the air. Just take a few black witch hats and hang them from the ceiling using invisible fishing line. Be it indoor or outdoor placement, these appear as floating hats that add mystique to the overall surroundings, making up the perfect Halloween ambiance.

3.Making Ghostly Garlands

Create a beautiful ghost garland that you can hang on your mantel or at your entrance. For the little ghosts, prepare the oven-bake clay and use ghost-shaped cookie cutters, baking them according to the package instructions. Once these have cooled, paint faces onto them-spooky or friendly-using black acrylic paint. Thread them together and voila. You will just have a fascinating decoration that is fun and festive.

4.Setting Up Spooky Tables

If you are hosting a dinner at your home on Halloween, then a scary table setting should not be an exception that adds to the ambiance. Serve candies and goodies, soups, or punch inside a centerpiece ceramic cauldron. Place a webbed placemat under a clear plate in order to show intricate designs. Put candles around, dark tablecloths, and themed dinnerware for an eerie ambiance.

5.Making Spiderweb Drink Umbrellas

Add a touch of spookiness to drinks with spiderweb drink umbrellas. You can either use a cutting machine or cut out the spiderweb shapes yourself with black craft paper. Glue them onto skewer sticks, and then put them in drinks for a subtle but very effective spooky addition that your guests will love.

6. Creative Lanterns

Light up your room with artistic lanterns in the form of a full moon. Take white paper lanterns and decorate them with bats or any other spooky cutout silhouettes made out of black construction paper. Put these across your living room or on your porch to create that haunted night sky effect.

7.Making Webbed Placemats

Make your dining much merrier with some do-it-yourself webbed placemats. Using puff paint, create spiderweb patterns on parchment paper. Let these dry overnight; afterwards, peel them off and place them under clear plates. This is an easy and really affordable way to give your Halloween table a personal touch.

8.Displaying Big Spiders

Add giant spiders to the outside of your home for the over-the-top outdoorsman, being equally stunning and terrifying. Wrap giant spider decorations around the walls, roof, or crawl them up the side of the house. It looks as though the house has been invaded by spiders, and this decoration certainly won’t go unnoticed in the neighborhood.
