Bring your home into the Halloween spirit with lively decorations without making multiple trips to the store where you will spend your entire paycheck. You can save money by repurposing items that are recyclable for homemade decorations. Make your decorations rather than filling your shelves with mass-produced items for a custom-made Halloween decor that will make your house the envy of the neighborhood. Here are some ideas for homemade items to add to your Halloween dcor featuring two commonly used recyclable items -- plastic shopping bags and newspaper.
Plastic BagsFill white plastic shopping bags with a ball made of additional plastic bags so you have a round head shape. Tie a string around the bag to secure the head. Cut the rest of the plastic bag in 1-inch-wide vertical strips. Draw a ghostly face on the head of the ghost; hang the ghost from a tree or your ceiling.
Stuff a large orange plastic trash bag with leaves that you have raked up in your yard; you can purchase orange trash bags in place of black ones for the occasion. Draw a jack-o-lantern face on the front of the bag. Paint the top of the bag where it is tied together using green paint. Set the pumpkin next to your entrance way for an all-weather jack-o-lantern.
NewspaperCut sheets of newspaper into 3-inch assorted Halloween-inspired shapes, such as ghosts, pumpkins, leaves, and witch hats. Paint each shape accordingly to conceal the black ink from the newsprint. Paint the different paper shapes in detail, or paint all of them in Halloween colors of orange and black, depending on your dcor. Punch a hole in the center of the objects with a hole punch tool. String the objects along a piece of twine for an instant garland. Or make a wreath by bending a wire coat hanger into a circle, untwist the top, and thread each object along the circular frame. Retwist the ends and use the hook at the top for a wreath hanger.
By reusing plastic shopping bags and newspaper you can fill your house and outdoor space with nearly free Halloween dcor simply by using your imagination and creativity.
