3 DIY Halloween decorations

Craft your own spooky Halloween décor with these simple DIY ideas:

1. Spider webs
   Gather up white yarn and clear, double-sided tape. Cut your tape into small squares and stick the pieces to your wall, arranging them in the shape of a spider web. Press your yarn against the tape, following the web-pattern from the inside out. Add a plastic spider for the final touch.
2. Handmade jack-o-lanterns
   Gather some orange tissue paper, green ribbon and empty jars – you may use recycled food jars or buy a few mason jars. Mix a small amount of water and glue to create a thin adhesive mix. Apply strips of tissue paper to the outside of each jar, brushing the glue mixture over top. Let dry. Use a black marker to draw jack-o-lantern faces on the tissue paper. Tie the green ribbon around the lip of the jar and your jack-o-lantern is ready for a small tea light candle inside!
3. Egg carton bats
   This decoration requires an egg carton, black paint, plastic eyes and some ribbon. Cut out a row of three egg cups from an egg carton. Turn the cups upside down so the rounded ends are facing up. Use a pair of scissors to cut curved points (like umbrellas) into the bottoms of the two outer cups to replicate bat wings. Paint each bat entirely black. Once dry, glue the plastic eyes to the center cup. Poke a small hole through the top of the center egg cup and pull a strip of ribbon through. Tie the ribbon into a loop and you’re ready to hang your crafty bat anywhere!

Have a fun Halloween! And when you’re ready for a new home to decorate this year, give me a call!
