Halloween is such a fun holiday! Especially since it allows you to unleash your creativity and come up with some fun ideas!

I'm a big fan of upcycled decorations since they'll be in the garbage anyway in the end of the holiday. (Unless you want to have same decorations every year). So here is my version of handmade Halloween decor that could be done from mostly things you already have at home.

Let's get creative!

Here is a video version of this blog
Paper bats


The oldie but a goodie. All you need is black paper + scissors. Fold your paper in half, cut a pattern and cut as many bats as you can! Put them on the wall with a double tape. Or make this creepy centerpiece ( on the left) with a branch and bats on it.

Ghosts from napkins


It couldn't be easier. Cut your napkin in half. Make a ball for the head out of one. Use a thread to fix the head. Paint a face. Put them separately on a stick or together as a garland.




Floating candles from paper towel tubes


Put some hot glue on the paper towel tube, making a "melted wax" effect. Cut a circle, glue it on the top and add a LED candle. Attach with the thread and clear hooks to the ceiling. I think it definitely looks more impressive in real life ;D





Ghosts from trash bags on your lawn


I just love the creepy dance they are making. For the head simply use the ball made out of paper towels, no need to spend $3 on a foam ball.

    I will definitely be doing the bats and the floating candles! I think I'll use Command hangars and hang them on my poarch!
