Halloween Decorating On A Budget

Are you trying to save money but still want to decorate for this time of year? Well here's some creative décor for Halloween that you can simply get from around the house, or really cheap.


Kleenex Ghosts:
It's so insanely easy!
Take one Kleenex, crumple it in a ball.
Then put another Kleenex over it and elastic it.

Use a black marker to draw eyes and your done!
You can even use them as a game, have a bowl
 and see who can throw the most in the bowl.



Scare the Neighbours:
This might freak someone out for a second when they walk by your house...but it's Halloween! You find a scary face or something on the

internet, print it out, then tape the picture facing out if you have a window in your front door, so when people walk by they see this scary creature or face peeking out of your window.




Garbage Bag Bats:
Take a garbage bag, cut it into
small/medium squares.
Crumple up Kleenex or newspaper

 into a ball and put it on the middle of the
cut square. Take the sides of the square
and bring it to the middle  and use ribbon

 or an elastic to tie so that the crumbled up
Kleenex/newspaper looks like the body and
the folded up part is the wings. From there you
 can add googley eyes as eyes or cut out paper to

 make as eyes or whatever else you might want to add.
 If you have a fishing line you can hang your bats,
 or you could just place them around the house however you like.


Orange/Black Streamers:
Take orange and black streamers, have 1 person hold each end, twist the streamers together so that it's a mixture of Halloween colours! Put the streamers somewhere and enjoy!


Baby Jack o' Lanterns:
It's just like it sounds, get a bunch of little pumpkins and carve them. Place them all over the house or outside of the house. You got little baby jack o' lanterns everywhere!



There's so many other things you can do! Scoop out your creativity and get wild with it! It can't be to over the top, it's HALLOWEEN!!!

Leave Print:  ---->

Most people know what this is,

print on a piece of paper. 

First take 
a piece of paper, then put one, two,
 or however many leaves you want on the paper,

 then put another piece of paper on top of 
the leaves and other paper. 
Take some crayons, peel the
 rapper

 off of the crayon(s) and roll them
 on the paper where the leaves are, 
push a little on the crayon if you need to 
while you are rolling so there's colour.

As you are colouring yo will see that
 the print and design of the leave is on the paper. 
Cool right! Then as the end result it looks like this.

You will need:
-a cup you don't care about
-tape
-leaves
-piece of paper
-scissors

-Rocks

Take the piece of paper and roll it loosely and stick it in the cup so it widens, (you only have to do this if the cup is see threw). Flip the cup over so it is upside down.

 Get a piece of paper and draw the body of a turkey, colour it if you want, and then cut it out. Tape the leaves to the cup, then tape the turkey over the leaves so it looks like a turkey.
