Decorating a dorm room for the holidays can be fun. Halloween offers you an opportunity to be particularly creative in your choice of decorations. Take the opportunity to create a dorm room that is fun, different and is a blast to show off to all of your friends. Here are some tips.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Talk to your roommate and find out if it's okay to decorate the dorm room and if so what ideas they may have about the decorating that is going to be done for Halloween.

  2. Step 2

    Go to a craft store and purchase construction paper, scissors, glue, glitter and the type of white stuffing that you might use to stuff pillows or use as fluffy craft snow to fabricate spooky webs.

  3. Step 3

    Purchase plastic spiders, bugs and slime from dollar stores or party supply stores. Also pick up stickers, Halloween signs, skeletons and any other odds and ends that look scary or disgusting. Dollar Store has an array of Halloween decorations that are cute, creepy and cheap.

  4. Step 4

    Create pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns and tombstones with the supplies you got from the craft store. Place the tombstones or jack-o-lanterns on your dorm room door along with a bit of the stuffing to act as mist or spooky spider webs.

  5. Step 5

    Decorate the rest of your dorm room with the rest of the supplies you picked up from the stores. Spread the stickers and bugs all around the room and on top of various surfaces.

  6. Step 6

    Post the signs high on walls of your dorm room and have the skeletons and other objects hanging from the wall or greeting friends at the door. Take the stuffing and distribute it throughout the room, making the room look as if it's cloaked in mist or spooky webs.
