Spook the Halls

October 16, 2011 by Camille 10 Comments

If you deck the halls at Christmas, do you spook the halls at Halloween?  I didn’t get “in” to decorating for Halloween until last year when my son said, “Mom when are you going to decorate the house for Halloween?”  He had been at a friends house and seen some cute decorations there so he was hoping we could get some at our place.  We went to a couple home decor stores and craft stores and picked out a few decorations.  He was so happy.  One of my happy memories growing up was when my mom decorated our house for the holidays (Christmas being the biggest – of course).  I decided to make Halloween a bigger/funner decorating holiday and have really enjoyed making crafts and getting decorated for Halloween.  Now that my baby’s birthday is right before Halloween, I can see Halloween taking on a life of it’s own!

Here are some of the decorations I’ve put up around the house this year.  I have a couple of “areas” of decor and this is my “traditional Halloween colors decorations” area.

Spider Bowl

I picked up this spider last year at a local home decor store.  The legs of the spider are bendable.  I wrapped the legs around the bowl to make my “rest of the year decor” easily turn into a DIY Halloween decoration.

Halloween Bucket List

I designed this to match with my traditional Halloween color decorations area and made it available as a free printable.  I think this Halloween bucket list is a great way to remember the fun things to do to celebrate Halloween.

DIY Halloween Decor – Halloween Tree

This DIY Halloween Tree was an easy craft to add to the decor.  I love the colors and designs.

Halloween Family Pictures

I like to use pictures that match the season/holiday in my decorating.  I think it helps tie everything together and keep things fresh.

 Halloween Decor Table Arrangement

I like how this table came together. The purple witch hat is sitting on a tall candlestick.

 Spider in the Spider Web

This simple black spider web sits over the mirror with a glittery spider chillin’ on the web.

Dressed Up Witches Broom

I found these glittery black witches brooms at Hobby Lobby. They looked kind of plain, so I dressed them up with some coordinating ribbon.

Black & Purple Glitter Candles

I found these fantastic candles at Michaels.

Christmas Ornaments for Halloween Decor!?

I pulled out some of my whimsical Christmas ornaments to use as basket filler filler for my Spider basket.  Love it!

    Love your decor! Love when green and purple is incorporated instead of just orange and black. Great Job
