Hello everyone,
There’s a chill in the air and pumpkins on doorsteps. There might even be a few witches and bats hanging from your trees. It’s finally October and that means its spooky season. Halloween is just a few weeks away and I thought it would be fun to help you get your house ready for this fun and spooky month.
I love decorating my house for Halloween. It's one on my favorite holidays. I love pulling out all the stops and having everything touched by the holiday we are in. From the kitchen to the upstairs, you know what type of season it is in my house. It’s so much fun and gets you into the season that much more. No matter how you like to decorate whether it’s scary or spooky, here are some ideas to help you make your house ready for Halloween.
Monster Tree:
I have a monster tree on my dining room table. I have a tree branch that’s clued in a mason jar and I spray painted black. I have some felt monsters that I made hanging from the branches with a bigger stuffed monster toy on the bottom of the jar. This fun and easy craft is super easy to do and full of possibilities to make it how you want it. You can make some cute monsters or have the scariest monsters ever!!
Ghostly Lanterns:
Cheap and cheerful: Draw spooky faces on empty, clean gallon milk jugs, then fill with white holiday lights to decorate your porch or walkway with a ghostly Halloween glow.
Hanging Bats and Ghosts:
Kids can help turn egg cartons into bat decorations; just cut, paint, and add googly eyes. Make cute, cheap Halloween ghosts by painting leaves white, then drawing a spooky face with a marker.
Crafty Spider Sacks:
You won’t want to dust away these Halloween cobwebs: Create chic, cheap yarn spider webs to decorate light fixtures, drape over curtains, or hang from a railing. Don’t forget to attach a tiny plastic spider to each sack.
Front Door Mummy:
Make a ghoulish first impression with this five-minute Halloween door DIY from Honey and Fitz. First, tape paper streamers to the front door, overlapping the strips to give a wrapped look. Then, cut sheets of black and white construction paper into circles to make eyes. Place the eyes on the top of the door and tape to secure.
These are just a few fun ways to get your house ready for Halloween. Have fun with your kids coming up with fun and spooky ways to get your house ready for the fun holiday. Stay tuned for more Halloween fun activities this month in creation station. See yeah next week.
