Homemade Halloween Props Make For Ghoulish Fun

Halloween used to be all about kids getting into costume and traipsing door to door in search of candy handouts. However, adults are getting into the act in a big way these days, and you can see spooky Halloween decorations sprouting up all over town. You may have even stopped to gape at some of the great displays wondering how the people who live in the house can afford to spend so much on Halloween decorations. Would you believe that even though the stores are stuffed with expensive Halloween merchandise, many people are now displaying homemade Halloween props?

The Internet is filled with websites dedicated to Halloween, and many of them will give you ideas and even working plans for homemade Halloween props. You can start small by building such classic items as spooky tombstones and then expand your repertoire to include skeletons in many gruesome poses and a gaggle of flying ghosts and witches. No one will ever know that you made these fantastic decorations yourself, because you will find information telling you how to use eerie lighting and sounds to make your scenes come alive.

If you're making your props for indoor décor, you will be able to make them out of very basic materials, such as foam core board, cardboard, poster board, spray paint, old clothes, and papier mache.

You can create a spooky backdrop for a party as simply as by covering furniture with old white sheets and shredding a bag of fiber fill to use as instant cobwebs. Switching the lighting in your home from white bulbs to red or black ones can cast an eerie glow. When clearing out your garden in the Fall, save some flowers on their stems and hang them upside down in your garage or basement to dry out. Once they've completely dried you can spray paint them with black for a spooky bouquet.

Getting into the spirit of Halloween doesn't have to be expensive, because there are thousands of homemade Halloween props you can create that will cost very little. It doesn't take a wad of cash in order to make your decorations seem creepy and spooky. All it takes is a little know-how and a lot of creativity.

Homemade Halloween Party Decorations - Fun and Easy

Halloween is one of those times of the year when children enjoy getting as creative as they want, creating what they consider funny, or scary decorations, and nobody can say any different. It is also a time when families can get together to make a variety of different holiday themes, from costume parties, get-togethers, and every one helps in the decorating.

There are many party decorations that are fun and easy to do. One of them is making giant, or monster foot prints out of large cheap sponges. You can use stencils, or just free hand with markers, cut out the shape of the foot print, and use a shallow pan with some non toxic washable paint, and make footprints going up to your door, along the wall, or just about any place else. You simply flip the sponge over to make the other foot print.

Instead of wasting a punch of pumpkins buy carving them up, use colored markers to draw faces on the outside. This is much safe for smaller children, and you can let them be as creative as you want. You can always open them up later and get the seeds out, or use them to make pumpkin pies for dessert, without the pumpkin rotting and going to waste. One unique idea, for a change of pace, is use large bell peppers to carve as Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns. You can also get them in a variety of different colors, to make things even more festive.

Another fun and cool idea is to make hanging bats from cardboard egg cartons. All you need are a few cartons, some black crafting paint, some googley eyes, and some black yarn, or invisible thread. Cut the egg holder part of the carton into four equal pieces, with three sections each, then cut the bat wings out of both sides of the end sections. Paint them black, let dry and then glue on the eyes. For the string, simply use a nail, screw or thumbtack to make a hole at the top, slide the thread through. You can tie the end around something to act as a stopper, and there you go!

You can also use Halloween shaped cookie cutters for a number of Halloween decorating ideas, not just for cutting out cookie shapes. All you need are the cutters, a washable ink marking pen, and some heavy duty construction paper, in Halloween colors. Starting at one side of the paper, trace around the cutters, until the page is filled, then cut them out. You can tape them to what ever surfaces you want, or have them hanging down as well.

There are many more Halloween party decorating ideas to choose from, many more than can be mentioned here. There are assortments of books on the subject, as well as numerous websites, 90% of which are totally free to download and print up at your leisure. There are also templates that you can order, stencils, as well as many other helpful tips and information to give you creative Halloween ideas for years to come.

Save Your Hard Earned Money by Doing Your Homemade Halloween Decor

Are you confident enough to say that you can spend your money anyhow without worrying about where it is coming from? I guess not. Therefore, in all your spending, you are better off economizing and that is why it is justified to make most of the Halloween decor by yourself. Here are some other reasons to do your own stuff.

1. On average, the spending that you can expect to do on every person during Halloween is $60. This is all according to allbusiness.com. Most of the budget goes into decorations, costumes, candy and hosting parties. Therefore, a family with 3 kids can spend $180 or more without realizing it.

For this reason, you would find it wise to find ways of cutting down on any spending that you can do without. Therefore, people will rather make their own stuff rather than doing without any decoration at all.

2. It is more fulfilling to see somebody give good compliments about craft that you made by yourself compared to those that you bought.

3. It is a fun experience, visualizing a certain item for decoration and actually constructing it from scratch. You have the freedom to choose what you want and are not restricted to what the stores have to offer. If you think about bloody sheets and alien pieces it is totally your imagination.

4. You are more at liberty to spend a dollar more on costumes if you save on the decorations.

5. Getting an afternoon off from the ordinary routine just to make the Halloween decorations is a moment for the family to come together and bond more.

Creativity is the best asset that you can have on your side; not even money. Therefore, go online today and check out website that offers ideas on DIY Halloween decor. There are books in store which can also address in detail, how to make homemade stuff for Halloween.

The key to a successful Halloween party is creating the right atmosphere. You expect your guests to get into the 'spirit' of the celebrations by dressing in Halloween theme costumes, so why not dress the party venue to compliment the festivities.

The interior (and exterior if you wish) can be dressed by using decorations, lighting and accessories to stunning effect, wherever you decide to hold your Halloween party and whatever your budget.

There are all kinds of Halloween theme decorations available to purchase and also plenty of ideas to create inexpensive Halloween decorations of your own. Home made Halloween decorations can not only save you money, but can give the whole family, young and old, the opportunity of creating something together, while at the same time having great fun.

Kids love to get creative and enjoy the experience even more when it is shared with other family members. As a family group, why not think about Halloween party games and even try them out as part of the party preparations. Trying games out in advance will help you decide which are the best games to play at your Halloween party. So let's have some fun!

Creepy Spiders A very quick and easy project, which even the youngest Halloweenster can accomplish. You will need black pipe cleaners, black pom-pom and some thread (black or nylon are best). Images are there to assist you with the Creative development

1) Take 4 pipe cleaners and twist them together 2 times in the centre.

2) Use the thread to tie the pom-pom to the pipe cleaners.

3) Bend the legs to create 'knees'.

A smaller version can be created by cutting the pipe cleaners in half and winding a further pipe cleaner around the centre of the legs to create the body instead of using a pom-pom.
