Do-It-Yourself Halloween Decorations

You can turn any home into a haunted house for Halloween by adding the right Halloween decorations. Here are straightforward do-it-yourself suggestions for Halloween decorations that you, your family, and the neighbors will enjoy this fall.

Gourd candleholders
Dim lighting is critical in creating the right Halloween mood so work on that as the first of your Halloween decorations. Originate a low light climate in your home by using candles instead of overhead lighting. To Originate a spooky candleholder, cut a hole in the town of a gourd, squash, or wee pumpkin. This might be hard to do so start by gently rocking the knife back and forth until you Originate a slit. Keep keen the knife carefully until there is an open section large adequate to hold a candle.

Safety warning: Make sure you put the candleholder on a tray with aluminum foil. As with all Halloween decorations, recommend your children to stay away from the flame.
Witch's cauldron
To Originate the extreme witch's cauldron you will need a large bowl, dry ice, and water. You can buy dry ice from a local ice cream parlor or grocery store. Put the dry ice in a package with a tight lid. Then submerge the package in water. Warm water will yield more smoke that will disappear rapidly while colder water will yield less smoke that will last longer. You can put the cauldron at your front door or as the centerpiece on your dining room table.

Safety warning: Do not touch the dry ice with your bare hands. Either use tongs or thick gloves. Make sure that children do not play with the dry ice.
Glowing ghosts
A glowing ghost is the perfect example of how straightforward and fun making Halloween decorations can be. Commence a mini glow stick, slip it inside a balloon, and blow up the balloon. Position the knot of the balloon at the top town and use a black marker to make a face. Use a thin or transparent white cloth to cover the balloon, cut a small hole in the cloth and push the knot straight through so you can tie a string to it and hang it from a tree, your door, or a lamppost in your front yard. Your glowing ghost will blow in the wind, letting all your neighbors know that Halloween has arrived.
