How to Decorate for Halloween
-
Make your own Halloween decorations
Create decorations with an exciting how-to tutorial, or source the decor you wish to use online. Bunting and lanterns are typical choices. -
Create table centerpieces
Make a decorative centerpiece. A carved pumpkin, candles, or dried berries look beautiful arranged with candles in between. -
Decorate the front porch
Use string lights to illuminate the doorway. Add smaller pumpkins to a corner and scatter some dry leaves. Now, add your carved pumpkins. -
Add Halloween decor to your home
Add cutouts of bats around the house. Make them from fabric. Place some festive lanterns on bookshelves and side tables. Light some candles. -
Carve a pumpkin
Trace your carving design onto your pumpkin. Cut a hole in the top, and scoop out the insides with a spoon before you start carving.
