Expert Answer

Well, you could try making some tassel ghosts out of yarn. Cutting out bats from black construction paper and hanging them on paper is pretty simple too! If you get some 2x4 from a lumber store, you could cut that into small blocks, paint it to look like pumpkins, then glue wine corks on top for the stems. If you're feeling extra crafty, you can purchase four-inch wall or floor tiles and paint pumpkins, bats, ghosts, and the like onto them with enamel paint for seasonal coasters.

What household items can you use for Halloween decorations?

You could make a Halloween wreath with branches, twigs, and old cloth. Cut out bats from black paper or material. You could also make spiders using an egg carton piece to form the body, pipe cleaners for the legs, and use a marker to make the eyes!

Question

How do you cut a paper pumpkin?

Drew Hawkins1

Community Answer

Use orange construction paper or card stock and cut out pumpkin shapes. You can then trace the outline of eyes and a mouth that you can cut out to form paper jack-o-lanterns!

Question

Some children stayed away from my home because of the decorations. Is this a good thing?

Mara Nielsen

It can be. If you want it to be scary, then that’s a good thing. If you want less scary decorations, try cute faces on them instead.
