Cheap and Inexpensive Halloween Decorations

Scrapbook Paper

I love decorating with scrapbook paper for any season or holiday. For the spider picture I cut out a spider, for the string of web I used craft wire, and then I glued the wire and spider to the paper and then framed it. Instant artwork, total cost- .80 cents. For the shelf I just put different pieces of scrapbook paper inside the different size frames. Total cost- $1.50 for paper. I already had the frames but if you do buy them, buy them at the thirft store and then paint them the color you want.

Junk Around the House and Town

My husband brought this old wooden crate home from work for me, he said he knew I would like it. Which I did but I didn't know what to do with it so when fall came I wrote on it and filled it with pumpkins. Did this bring any ideas to mind for you? Total cost- FREE

Candles

I love candles because you can dress them up and they are cheap. I bought the candle at the grocery store for a dollar. Then I wrapped a inch piece of scrapbook paper (it came from my scraps) around it and secured it with a pin. Then I cut off a piece of garland and wrapped that around it to and secured it with a pin. Ta Da! Total cost- $1.25


Witch Broom

My sister and I made this in about 15 minutes. First we went out and found a chunky old looking stick and some weeds. We then cut all the knobs and extra branches off the stick with a hand saw. Then we hot glued the weeds on and then wrapped juts around it and secured it with hot glue and then you're done. Total cost- FREE

Witch Hat

I got the witch hat at a yard sell for .25 cents. I bought the feather boa at the Dollar Tree Store. I glued the boa on with tacky glue and then hung the hat over a chair as if a witch had just got home and hung up her hat for the day. Total cost- .75 cents

BOO

I cut out the letters for the word boo and stuck each letter on a pumpkin and then placed them up on my kitchen cabnet. Easy as pie. Total cost .25 cents for the letters and however much your pumpkins are.

Spooky Branches

I went out and found some spooky looking branches and then hung from my kitchen cabinet. You could hang them really anywhere. Your entertainment center, book shelf, a shelf, etc. I also had a Chinese lantern from Tai Pan Trading (love that store) so I hung it from the branches. I know you can get Chinese lanterns at the Dollar Tree Store that have Halloween design on them for a dollar. Total cost- Free for the branches and my lantern was $4.00.

Halloween Sayings

There are lots of fun saying that go along with Halloween. I took the first line of the song "What are you going to be on Halloween night?" and printed it off on the computer. Then I glued that on to a piece of, what else, scrapbook paper. I then glued the scrapbook paper to a piece of cardboard and then I tied ribbon on each side and hung it on my old window on my wall. Total cost- $1.50

Halloween Tree

I got this willow tree on clearence at a grocery store for a dollar. I've had it for awhile and I finally had an idea of what to do with it. I first pulled some of the berries off of it, then I spray painted it black, then I cut out circle out of orange and purple glitter paper. I then attached them to the wires of the willow tree. You could also us just a branch from outside to do the same thing. Total cost- $2.00
