Decorating for Halloween on a Budget

 Halloween is a great holiday to celebrate with the family and friends. Each year, people begin to plan months ahead for Halloween decorating, Halloween shopping, Halloween costumes and Halloween parties.

One can go for Halloween decor just about anywhere. You can find a huge range of Halloween themed door bells, tombstones, wall clocks, candle holders, door knockers and table displays at many online and in-stores. List for Halloween decoration items is long and endless! Some things can be bought from stores and some are handcrafts that can be made at home. Setting mood for Halloween has never been so fun!

Here are few ideas to help get started on decorating for Halloween:

Decorate main rooms with Jack-o-lanterns made from anything such as pumpkins, apples, squashes and cucumbers etc. Hang them somewhere in room or place on tables, door and windows, stands and mantles. Use autumn leaves, green branches, and ears of corn, tomatoes, and apples and drape room with red and yellow scrim & cheese cloth. Have fire going in fireplace.

Entrance way should be in total darkness except light coming from Jack-o-lanterns on tables or hangings on doors & ceilings. Entrance should be draped in black and spooky way. One can create spider web near entrance and decorate it with artificial spiders. Spooky candles can be placed at the door entrance for a dramatic look.
The lawn in front of house should be decorated with lighted Jack-o-lanterns each with different eyes, mouth, and nose. These lanterns should be as weird as possible. Drape black Jack-o'-lantern above front door and hang skull and crossbones in center over the door.

Everything has changed in 100 years, but that essence of great Halloween decorating has remained almost same as in olden times... Have fun on Halloween nights dressed in Halloween costumes!!
