How to Decorate for Halloween on a Budget

Halloween brings out the kid in everyone! As the air starts to get cooler, pumpkins start appearing on grocery store shelves, and pumpkin spiced lattes are available, it only means one thing, Halloween is near!  Decorating your home for Halloween can be quite pricey but there are always ways to do it on a budget!

Create a backyard cemetery with shipping boxes.  Cut the boxes to look like tombstones and paint them to make them look like they are aging. 

Created haunted trees using oven-baked clay.  Create a pair of eyes, nose, and mouth for each tree and attach them to the trunk.

Purchase reusable Jack-o-Lanterns from any craft store to create your own carved pumpkin. 

Create a ghost-lit walkway with milk jugs.  Decorate the outside of each milk jug and line them up along your sidewalk.  Use battery powered candles to light them up at night.

Turn clear plastic gloves into severed hands and place them around your home.  Fill each glove with tissue paper, popcorn, or small shredded paper- you can even fill them with freshly mixed JELL-O for a realistic feel.
