One of these days, a lot of us will start buying Halloween decorations/decors. I bet some have already done your shopping.
Everywhere you go now whether to Target, BJs, and Walmart, you will see Halloween stuff in the stores. That’s because the scary season is just around the corner.
I love Halloween season. It’s spooky and it’s fun at the same time. I remember growing up watching scary television shows or movies during Halloween season. I was scared but that feeling didn’t prevent me from watching those shows.
I did the same thing year after year even when I was scared. Weird but that’s what I did. Haha.
Now, Halloween season means a little bit different for me. Now, it’s more on being festive and scary at the same time. Now, we are more into Halloween decorations.
This means that my wife and I (including our daughter) have to decorate our front porch and the yard with tombstones, webs, dim lights, etc. If I were to calculate the total costs of our Halloween displays/décor, if we buy them, would be in hundreds of dollars.
In short, it will be expensive.
Just the other day, my wife and I had a talk (not the serious one). We decided that we’d go for DIY Halloween décor this year. I think it’s more fun because we get to create our own scary displays from scratch.
I searched through the web for ideas and also asked my friend bloggers if they want to share their Halloween DIY-theme posts with me as well the images. I’m glad they did. I’ll tell you that some of these DIY stuff are just too good to be true.
I honestly think some of them just look store-bought and high-end.
Some of my DIY friends are just plain genius. I don’t know how they come up with these ideas. They are gorgeous and so easy to create. Many of them only use a couple of materials, which are typically present in a lot of households. That’s a good thing.
On this post, you will see cob webs, tombstones, basket trays, and so many more DIY ideas. They are handmade crafts but they look expensive and professional.
I bet that when you see these images, you’d think twice if they are store-bought or made from scratch with simple materials.
I plan on making a lot of what I have on this post a week from now. I should say WE are going to make most of the ones I have listed here a week from now. I can only imagine what my yard will look like.
One thing I know is for sure, that is, my neighbors will likely ask us where we got the displays.
