How to Decorate Your Vehicle for Halloween

Decorate all interior sections of your car, including the trunk.

Halloween provides an opportunity to get into a ghoulish and scary spirit by decorating your house with creepy decorations. If you feel like you've done everything you can with decorations in your home, try decorating your car, as well. Work with a singular theme such as bats, spiders or skeletons to make your car stand out. Or, use any style that fits your personal taste. From lighthearted smiling ghosts to macabre blood splatter, a themed and decorated car will get everyone that sees it into the Halloween spirit.

Things You'll Need

• Rubber spiders
• Twist ties
• Cotton cobwebs
• Fake limbs
• Water-soluble fake blood
• Fake skeletons
• Clothing
• Felt
• Scissors
• Tape

Instructions

1. Place rubber spiders in front of the grill by wrapping a wire twist tie around each leg and the grill. Fasten all legs in this manner to ensure the spiders stay on while you drive.

2. Add a few cotton cobwebs to car windows and mirrors as to not obstruct your vision. Use them heavily in other areas such as the roof, hood and doors.

3. Place fake limbs in the doors and in your trunk to create the appearance of people attempting to escape your car. Shut the trunk or door on each limb to keep it in position. Test its security by giving it a tug. The fake limb should not move from its position.

4. Splatter water-soluble fake blood on the exterior of your car to create the illusion of an accident. This decoration enhances the visual appearance of darker decorations such as the fake limbs.

5. Place fake skeletons in your rear-side seat to act as ghostly passengers. Sit the fake skeletons in a normal sitting position, and brace them by fastening in the seat buckles. Add clothes such as hats and T-shirts to add to the illusion.

6. Cut multiple triangles from sheets of white felt, and tape them to the top and the bottom of your trunk opening. Cover the entire length of the trunk with white felt triangles to create the appearance of sharp teeth. This makes the trunk appear as a large, menacing mouth every time you open it up.
