Making Your Own Indoor Halloween Dcor
When it comes to Halloween, its a fun time of year to decorate your home inside and out. After all, how often do you get to crank the sounds of scary monsters and other spooky sounds, while pretending you live in a different world of scariness? In todays world, everyone can use a break from reality!
Whether you have kids or not, you may wish to decorate your home with Halloween dcor indoors. Without having to spend money on decorations, you can make your own fun themes and dcor that will knock your visitors socks off!
Ideas for Indoor Halloween Dcor
The first thing youll want to do is probably visit a craft store. Some things youll need to employ the following ideas include:
- Orange and lack crepe paper, preferably the larger size
- A few pieces each of some orange and black construction paper
- Some string to be used for hanging decorations
- Some newspaper
- A bottle of glue
- A pair of scissors
- Cotton, lots of it!
With these supplies, you can make a number of different indoor Halloween decorations. Taking a piece of large crepe paper and placing a fist sized ball of crumbled newspaper in the middle of it, fold the ends up toward the middle and around the newspaper. Using a twist tie (like the ones you get with garbage bags) to secure the paper together, youve got yourself a friendly, or not so friendly, ghost.
With the cotton, you can use the orange crepe paper and make pumpkins out of them, big enough to sit on the floor throughout your house. The construction paper can be used to make eyes and mouths for the ghosts and pumpkins, giving them extra life. Attach the string to the ghosts to make them fly!
Also, making signs and banners for Halloween and using them in windows can be done with the listed supplies, the options really are limitless. You can even buy specialty items like pipe cleaners and rolling eyes to create scary looking spiders and rats!
Using food as indoor Halloween dcor is a great idea too. By cooking spaghetti and adding ketchup to them afterward, you can display them in a bowl as a fresh batch of intestines and grapes in red Jello make great eyeballs too. Bake a few chicken legs in the oven and when theyre finished, take the meat and skin off then display the bones on a plate. You can drop a few pieces of chicken meat around to give the dish an even spookier look! You may not want to eat this stuff, but it sure does make great indoor Halloween dcor!
These Halloween poems usually have the images that will scare others like the poems children might write in their classrooms.
Halloween Party Food
All it takes is a visit to your local movie, CDs or electronics store, and youre in business!
If you have pets, catching them on tape while theyre playing, meowing or barking is great for making sound effects that are meant to sound like youre listening to some old junkyard. When decorating time comes, rather than throw away the seeds, remove them from the rest of the pumpkin innards, but dont wash them. For best results, try to find powder or paste food coloring instead of the liquid sort; the colors will be more vibrant.
