The first piece of advice is to keep it simple. Next use your creativity to make simple into your own unique creations. Then sit back and allow people to admire your work. Let’s start with the traditional Halloween pumpkin. A good sized pumpkin costs under $20 and there are hundreds of ways to make it into your own design. Websites such as pumpkin carving.com teach you about carving tools and basically have lots of designs for your pumpkin which is now a Jack O’ Lantern. This will most likely be the centerpiece of your Halloween set up.
Now let’s make your Jack O Lantern even more elaborate by adding some lights. Try buying some inexpensive dark colored candles with some Halloween themed candle holders. They make great table decorations as well.
Crepe paper is a great investment to make lots of spooky designs. Fake blood is also inexpensive and easy to obtain at local discount stores. You also might want to purchase some spider webs and scary music CD’s to create a scary atmosphere. For those who want to go the extra mile, you can use wood to build your own coffin and buy a dummy to put inside there. Don’t forget to make your own tombstones and use black for all table decorations to create a scary effect.
