Halloween Decorating Ideas

Fall is a very entertaining time of year. Decorating for Halloween can be something for the entire family to enjoy together!

Fall is a very entertaining time of year. The kids are excited and all dressed up in their cute costumes for Halloween! It is the perfect opportunity to have friends over for a Halloween dinner or party.

Now is the time to go shopping at the dollar store, trick shops or any store that sells Halloween items for your decorating supplies.

You can place or hang these decorations the same way you would your Christmas decorations. You can buy an orange “tree” to hang Halloween ornaments on. You and your family can have special family time by making your own Halloween ornaments. These ornaments can be made from different colors of Play-Doh, or you can use cookie dough that is cooked a little too long. These “over cooked” cookies (not burned) are sturdy enough to decorate with writing frosting and glitter.

A Halloween or fall theme wreath on the front door is the perfect first impression before you walk into a festive home.

You can also take the same size or smaller wreath with a backing on it (so it does not scratch your wood table) to lay flat on the table to use as a centerpiece! Then, you can place a Halloween figurine, statue or doll in the center section of the wreath.
