Creating a Spooky Home: Cheese Cloth

A Ghostly Front Porch

Add some friendly ghosts to your front porch to welcome guests. Lay cheese cloth over white round paper lanterns and decorate them with eyes to hang around your porch. For larger ghosts, throw cheese cloth over a tomato cage and add eyes. Battery operated lights or candles will give them a glow at night. Ace Hardware carries cheese cloth from SuperTuff that won’t rip easily and isn’t expensive so you can create multiple ghosts without spending too much.

Bedazzled Pumpkins

Instead of using real pumpkins that will be discarded invest in a few craft pumpkins to create decorations you can use every year. With a glue gun and a few embellishments, you can design some unique creations! Add some dazzle to your home by gluing sparkly gems to a craft pumpkin. Turn small craft pumpkins into spiders or black cats by gluing googly eyes and using black felt to create the legs and ears. So many spooktacular possibilities! This set from Surebonder that comes with a supply of glue sticks is ideal to help you get it all done.

Creating a Spooky Home: Tape

Garage Mural

Your garage door makes the perfect backdrop for a spooky Halloween-themed mural. Either buy or cut out silhouettes of bats, cats, pumpkins to create a Halloween scene. Use a reliable tape like this general-purpose masking tape from Duck to adhere your cutouts to the garage door.
