How to Decorate Indoors for Halloween

Get into the spirit of Halloween by setting the right mood inside your home. A touch of autumn, a dab of scary music and lots of spooky crafts will do the job.

Difficulty: Moderately challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Fake Body Parts
• Spider Webbing
• Halloween Candles
• Halloween Decorations
• Halloween Light Sets
• Cauldrons And Foggers
• Fans
• Jack-o'-lanterns
• Lava Lamps
• Table Candelabras
• Tombstones (prop)
• Pumpkins
• Halloween Sound Effects CD
• Halloween Party Packs
• Glow-in-the-dark Stars
• Pumpkins

1. Use gourds, pumpkins and autumn leaves to decorate mantles and tables.

2. Hollow out one large pumpkin, fill it with water and add floating candles.

3. Make spiders, bats and tissue ghosts (see Related eHows) and use dental floss to hang them from the ceiling. Use a small fan to make them flutter in the air.

4. Hang some Halloween cobwebs around the house, or improvise with yarn or soft cotton.

5. Set the mood by keeping the lights dim - use candles, lanterns, small lamps and Halloween lights.

6. Add some scary music and sound effects. You can even make your own sound effects and tape them. If you don't have scary tunes, an opera might do the trick.

7. Improvise. Make coffins out of old cardboard boxes and gravestones out of Styrofoam packing inserts, or disassemble old store mannequins for body parts.

Tips & Warnings

• Check out your local dime or dollar store for inexpensive props such as plastic or wind-up spiders and old sheets to use to make ghosts.
• Never leave burning candles unattended.

on 11/22/2005 Do a search for milk jug skeleton. Basically, you take 1 gallon plastic milk (or water) jugs cut them out into bone shapes, and assemble into a life-size skeleton. Since it's plastic it's great for outdoor weather, but my kids love to hang them in the foyer. They are fun to make too.

on 11/22/2005 There are so many party stores out there for Halloween, but if you don't find what you are looking for, or can't afford what you want, it is easy to make Halloween decorations by hand. Crumple up black paper and attach it to pipe cleaners and hang them with string for spiders. There are endless possibilities!

on 11/22/2005 I went to the Dollar store and bought 3 plastic dolls. I then disassembled them and put the parts in my tropical punch. Everyone loved it.

on 11/22/2005 Collect dead flowers, leaves, etc. Arrange them however you want. Use black and orange ribbon. Tie them around the centerpiece. Stick them in a vase. Voilà! You have an autumn centerpiece.
