Easy Indoor Halloween Decorations

I always like to start with a Halloween theme for my Halloween decorations. Ghosts, ghouls, skeletons, etc… then build from that point.

In a ghost theme, you can create ghosts from sheets and pin them up on walls or have them hang from different elevations in your home. Such as railings, doorways, lamps, cabinets etc. are inventive.

Ghouls and skeletons are pretty much the same concept except they can be placed in a chair or a bathroom or place it on a wall right where people might be coming in.

Pumpkins are my favorite theme. You can carve many different designs out of a pumpkin even if you aren’t very artistic.  There are stencils for carving pumpkins such as pet faces, silly faces, scary faces, or even inanimate objects such as tomb stones. How about a carving of a pumpkin?

I always thought it would be cool to have a pumpkin carving contest. The guests can bring their own pumpkin and you decide if it should be carved at your house or if it should already be carved when they arrive. I like the latter idea because of the mess they make.  If you do decide you want it done at your house just insist they clean the pumpkin before they arrive. This will cut down on the mess. Put garbage containers near every two people and have a time limit. You can judge by categories or just overall whose was the best.  And then the pumpkins become part of your décor.

Be sure to use plenty of spider webs so your house looks creepy. Spiders are great also. If you have a basement and use it as your party room place spiders lining the walls going down the stairs with a large spider up above.

In the bathroom if you really want to scare someone squirt fake blood all over the tub walls and shower curtain then close the curtains part way. Then you can put some fake body parts in the tub.  And don’t forget the sound effects.

Halloween can be as much fun for decorations as Christmas. So have a ghoulish good time.

Say your child dressed up like a lion. Use brown and orange shades. Place a lot of pictures of lion, and title the page accordingly – like “So Cute Lion”.

This is just one example. You van modify it to any dress and style the child is acquiring.

2. Dedicated to the Family.

Try making a page reflecting you & your family’s personalities. Make a haunted house covering the entire page. Make use of spooky colors like gray, red and black. In the haunted house, place pictures of each member of the family. Preferably click a few with scary faces. Paste these in the windows and doors.

In order to change this in to a “peep” house, add sheets of paper to look like the doors to the windows. Then, one would have to lift the flap of the window to find out whose picture lies inside.

Who doesn’t love Halloween crafts that are edible? Dirt and worms is the most popular edible Halloween craft and is especially a hit with the kids. All you need to do is take a clean clear plastic cup and fill it with some chocolate ice cream. Then take some chocolate cookies in a zip-loc bag and smash them into tiny bits. Take the smashed pieces and some gummy worms and pour them over the ice cream. Your dirt and worms is ready and you can have a great time eating it.
