Halloween Idea #61
If you want to
display your Halloween spirit on the outside of your house, why not hang
out a banner or flag on October 1st?You can find all kinds of
Halloween flags and banner during the Halloween season. Hang one or two up around your
house to show your Halloween spirit! You can find all kinds of flags and
banners at local mass retailers and arts and crafts stores like
Michael's that get the Halloween stuff out early.
If you
have a flag pole why not fly Old Glory and hang a Halloween flag right
under it? We found a very cool black flag with a Jack-O-lantern on it.
Unfortunately the wind is strong where we live and there is nothing left
of it but a foot of faded black nylon. Next time, I'll use clear nylon
thread and sew the seams on it a few times to reinforce them! |

Halloween Idea #63
We had a
friend that sold her house and was moving into an apartment. She loves
Halloween and would always decorate her home and yard. Now that she'd be
living in an apartment complex she wondered what she could still do for
Halloween and we came up with this idea for her.
Click here to see what we did.
If you
live in a small apartment, there's no reason why you can set up some
nice life sized diorama-like scenes around if you make the right use of
the space you have! It's easy and you may have most of what you
need if you are one to decorate for Halloween.
If not, you can buy the basics at most mass market retailers, any local
Halloween store or arts and crafts store. |

Halloween Idea #66
Tired of a plain old skeleton?
Turn him into a vampire! Using an inexpensive cardboard coffin and some prop clothing,
your skeleton can become the corpse on the undead!
They make
great props and you can do so many things with skeletons, you need to
have a few to add some fun to your haunt. You can also dress them up
like scare crows, replace the head with a lighted, hard plastic
Jack-O-Lantern and dress it up for a super scary creature to put in your
graveyard!
Skeletons
can add so much to a haunt and you can do so many things with them! |

Halloween Idea #67
You can easily build a rotting
corpse out of a cheap plastic skeleton using paper towel, spray glue, spray foam
insulation and a little more. It'll add some life to your Halloween haunt!
You'll find a very interesting article by
clicking here to find out just how to do it.
It's a fun
project and looks very life-like when finished. It looks like he's been
in the ground for decades and you can also dress him up with worn, torn,
dirty clothes to add to the look. Put him in your graveyard in a half
open grave and you'll hear some screams from your guests! Make sure and
add some spooky lighting, from the idea above, to make him stand out!
It's a fun project that will give you a feeling of "Hey, I made that!"
when people compliment you on it. |

Halloween Idea #68
At a loss for a costume idea? A

Totally
Skelebones costume that is readily available during Halloween season. It's a great
costume for everyone, it comes in colors and glow in the dark, which is great under a

kooky! You'll have lots of fun with this one! It's great for using

costume, you'll love it!! |

Halloween Idea #69
Dress your pets up for
Halloween! Lots of cool costumes are available for them. But only do this if they like it,
don't force your pet to do anything that seems to bother them!
See more here!
If you are having a party or a lot of trick or treaters, be sure to put
nervous pets in a bedroom or someplace where they won't be startled by
all the noise. Some pets don't appreciate Halloween. You don't want your
dog or at to run out an open door or be frightened by party guests. It's
much better to put them in a room for the evening with food, water and a
litter box (for cats).
Some dogs
don't mind being in the spotlight and will love being dressed up and
shown off for Halloween! |
