-Six Spooky Decorating Tips-
~Even if trick-or-treaters are coming in a few hours, it is still possible to get Halloween decorations out on time~
1.
1. Turn everything into pumpkins from sports balls to buckets to paper plates. Cover balls with orange paper, add black paper facial features to galvanized buckets and paint paper plates orange (glue two plates together for stability if using outside). Group all the pumpkins together for impact.
2. Search the pantry for any large food boxes such as those that hold cereal or crackers. Paint them white (or black or gray). Write the letters, R.I.P, or other epitaphs on them to create little tombstones. Set them all out in the yard as a mini graveyard.
3.Use candles to shine spooky, shimmery light for Halloween visitors. Gather as many candles as possible from around the house, and arrange them on windowsills, porch railings or table. As the night goes on, the wax drippings will make the ambience even creepier.
4. Make an easy Halloween banner. Print out the phrase, “Happy Halloween,” or “Trick-or-Treat,” from a computer. Put one letter per sheet of 8 ½ X 11 paper. Tape ribbon to the back of each sheet and hang on the front door like garland.
5. Create a family of ghosts. Use adhesive Velcro strips to attach white sheets draped over basketballs or soccer balls. No face is needed, but, if desired, cut circles for eyes and noses out of black paper, and stick on sheets with double-sided tape. Thread fishing line through a needle, string it through the top of the sheets and hang the ghosts from tree branches or porch rafters.
6. Let family members become part of the Halloween decorations. Dress up in black clothes, use make-up to create scars and sunken eyes and sit motionless at the front door waiting on the right time to scream, “BOO!”
To end with, enjoy your Halloween…
