Halloween Decorations That Won t Break The Bank

Attempt these ideas for affordable ways to turn your own home into a haunted house at Halloween inflatables.

Witches Lair
Merely reduce down the sides of wheelie bin dimension bin liners and open out. The bin liners are just the best dimension to cover the wall from floor to ceiling. Stick the bin liners throughout the walls to black out. Cut the bin liner into strips at door opening. Decorate with pumpkin shapes and fake spiders webs or draw a spiders web with a silver marker or tipex pen. It's wonderful how efficient it is.

Ghost and Ghouls
Turn your old cereal boxes into ghosts and ghouls. Cut down the size of a cereal box and trim right into a rectangle shape. Form a cylinder shape with the plain side on the outside. Draw a ghostly face on the cylinder. Cut the top off a white bin liner or white plastic bag and trim to a rectangular shape. Cut strips into the plastic leaving at the very least 5cm on the top. Stick across the inside of the ghosts face. Stick some string to the top and cling from the ceiling.

Witch
A Witches lair just isn't complete without a witch. Find the kids black clothes and stuff with towels or modeling balloons to make a body. Add a green balloon to the head and decorate with wool hair and a hat. Stick a green paper nostril on and draw a face on the balloon. Fill socks and gloves for palms and feet. Here is our rather deflated witch she had enjoyed too many Halloween parties by the time we took this picture!

Trick or Treaters
Dress up all of the kids cuddly toys as trick or treaters holding torches or flashing lights. Dismembered dolls scattered across the witches lair with red lipstick for blood always offers the kids a fright.

Pumpkin Plates

Real pumpkins are implausible however one doesn't make a big impact and is not always suitable for the very young. So why not paint a paper plate orange and reduce out the eyes. Dot the across the witches lair with a torch behind to light up or stick to the decorated walls.
