Before we get to the fun and creative DIY Halloween decorations, here are 10 simple decorating tips to get you started:

Decorate mason jars with spooky faces using paint or sharpie markers. These make great candle holders or vases for Halloween flowers.
Make a Halloween wreath for your front door using black and orange ribbons, googly eyes, or even plastic spiders.
Hang string lights on your porch or entryway to greet trick-or-treaters. It’s a spooky-yet-inviting look.
Place plastic spiders or paper bats throughout your house – on windowsills, on door frames, or even above the mantel!
Set out a bowl of Halloween candy with a sign that says “Take one (or two) if you dare!”
Put up a Halloween-themed banner or sign that says “Happy Haunting!” or “Trick or Treat!”
Make Halloween-themed foods like witches’ fingers (breadsticks with almond slivers for nails), graveyard cake (chocolate cake with cookie crumbs as “dirt”), or spiderweb dip (guacamole with plastic spiders on top).
Transform your entire house into a haunted mansion by adding cobwebs, fake spider webs, and spooky music throughout the rooms.
Carve pumpkins with traditional jack-o-lantern faces, or get creative with other designs like ghosts, bats, cats, or even Harry Potter characters.
Put Halloween window clings on all your windows – they come in all sorts of fun designs like ghosts, pumpkins, bats, and more. Plus, they are inexpensive.
