Easy Homemade Halloween Decorations
Instant Candy Corn Halloween Decoration
- Fill a large glass container with candy corn…a hurricane type glass works great!
- Insert any Halloween decoration on a stick! Ideas: Use a black stick and glue a Happy Halloween sign to the top or glue a rubber spider on the top. The possibilities are endless!
Centerpiece
When it comes to making a centerpiece for a Halloween party or for any party, the Budget Diet girl believes in using what you have. Here's how…
- Gather all your Halloween decorations.
- Look around your house for an empty cardboard box.
- Find fabric to drape on the empty cardboard box.
- Elevate your largest decoration on top of the box
- Use tulle (netting) around your centerpiece. Tulle costs about $1 per yard on sale, and I suggest buying a variety of colors…it will come in handy for party decorating throughout the year!
- Scatter candy and smaller decorations around the edges.
- Stand back and admire your Halloween centerpiece!
This same approach can be used for any themed party!
Happy Halloween!
