Ready. Set. Spook! Ideas For Indoor & Outdoor Halloween Decorations. by Al Martino
Ready. Set. Spook!
Labor Day has come and gone with the summer heat. Its official; fall is here. Aside from comfortable sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes, this season means that its time to decorate for Halloween!
The great thing about Halloween is that the possibilities for decorations are virtually endless. Anything can be scary with a little bit of fun work. Make your house rise from the grave and come to life with cool and visually stunning yard decorations. For this time of the year, the spookiest yard is something to be proud of.
If you happen to live in a yard with an abundance of trees or shrubs, you’ve already got a great head start on outdoor decorating. Go for the classic “cob webbed” look for shrubs, using something as simple as cotton, which is very inexpensive and can be purchased at most dollar stores or discount retailers. For the trees, get some artificial bats. You can find some inexpensive ones in stores. For a fun activity, make some on your own using soda bottles, garbage bags and electrical tape (more on that later.)
Lawn cut outs are also an exciting way to spook up your yard. Again, the possibilities for what you can do are endless and only limited by your imagination. From the classic jack-o-lanterns and witches to completely custom graphics, holiday cutouts are a staple of Halloween lawn decorations. Theres plenty of places online, such as holidaycutouts.net to order scary cutouts, which can also be used indoors to spook the trick or treaters at your door.
How To Make Halloween Bat Decorations:
Materials
o 2 large black trash bags
o 2-liter plastic soda bottle
o Black electrical tape
o Rubber bands
o White plastic lid
o 2 straight sticks
o Red dot stickers
Step 1: To make the bat’s body, wrap one of the trash bags around the plastic bottle and secure it in place with the electrical tape.
Step 2: Create the bat’s ears by pinching two small bunches of plastic (near the cap end of the bottle) and wrapping a rubber band around the base of each bunch. Cut a set of fangs out of the white plastic lid, tape them in place, then affix the red stickers for eyes.
Step 3: Cut open the other trash bag, lay it flat, then cut two large bat wings out of it, roughly in the shape of the ones shown.
Step 4: Lay one of the wings flat on the ground and place one of the sticks just above it (if necessary, trim the stick to the wing’s length with clippers). Tape the three “points” on the top of the wing to the stick with electrical tape. Repeat for the other wing, then securely tape both wings to the sides of the bat’s body.
Step 5: To hang the bat, simply nestle the sticks among the branches of a tree. If the weather is particularly windy, you may want to tape the wings in place, so your bat won’t take flight.
