10 Frugal Halloween Decor Ideas

Hey Blissful and Domestic fans! I am Jodi and I am so thrilled to be a guest on this awesome blog!

Today I'm going to share with you 10 easy Halloween/Fall decorations that will save you some money. We all love to decorate, but we know that decorating can get a little pricey and if we can save some money, but still have fun decorations in our house, in my book you have a win win situation! So let's get started!

  The 1st thing I'm going to share with you is my Witch's table.

#1 (mini witch clothes and a kitty made from felt)

Here is my mini witch clothes...aren't they cute?  To do this I used felt, a piece of string, and mini clothes pins.

To go with my mini witch clothes I made a kitty...what witch doesn't have a black cat? Of course it has to be a cute one. I stuck it to a vase with flowers and I have an easy decoration!

 See how simple, easy, cute, and frugal this is?

 #2 (witch potions made with paint and mini jars)

 Of course every witch needs potions. To make this I put some paint inside some mini jars and now we got jars full of potions!

 #3 (witches brew made with foam sealant and a dipping bowl)

Now if you have potions you need witches brew!

To make this I bought this dip bowl (picture below) at the dollar store (they also have them at Walmart). I added some foam sealant for cracks to it. I painted it and added some fun decor to the top to make it look "realistic."

#4 ( witch hat made from cardboard, cardstock, feathers, and a bow)

Now for the final piece I made this cute witch hat. From cardboard I cut out a circle for the bottom part of the hat. For the top I used cardstock. For added decoration I added some dots (also made from cardstock), a bow, and some feathers. Now my table is complete, saved me some money, and the kids love it!

#5 (owls made with felt to give decoration to my "haunted house")

To add to my Halloween decor I made a "haunted house" table. 

Again I used felt and made some owls. I grabbed some dead tree branches from outside, put them in mini flower pots, and put the owls in the trees.

I made this sign on the computer (Secret is our last name, so I thought this was kinda funny), anyways put it in the other tree branch and I have a little haunted house.

 #6 (add cardstock bats to a lamp)

Now this is one easy decoration! I cut out some bats (but anything will do) stuck them inside my lamp, wrapped some purple lights around it and now I have bats flying around.

 #7 (a ghost made with frosted glass spray)

For this ghost idea I got a plain mirror, some frosted glass spray, and a ghost cutout. Sprayed on the ghost with the spray and here is my scary ghost trying to scare me.

 #8 (a spider web made with Elmer's glue and glitter and a spider made from craft puffy balls and pipe cleaner)

Now what Halloween is complete if you don't include a spider?

To make the spider web I laid out a piece of wax paper on a flat floor. With pencil I traced how I wanted the spider web to look. With Elmer's glue I went over the pencil tracing and added glitter as I went along. Let it dry and now you have a spider web.

For the spider I got some simple craft puffy balls and some pipe cleaners. Glued it all together and now I have a cute spider for my spider web!

 Now with all this Halloween talk I thought I'd end it with a couple of fall decorations.

#9 (An old pumpkin covered with burlap and floral wire)

To make this I grabbed one of my sad looking pumpkins. I covered it with burlap and for the creases I used floral wire and now I have a refurbished pumpkin!

#10 (flower vase made with a tin can and dead tree branches)

Last but not least I grabbed an empty tin can from some canned soup (you can actually see it lol). I then cut some tree branches to the size I wanted them to be and hot glued them to the can. Added some flowers and I have a wonderful fall decoration.

 I just love being able to decorate and not feel guilty that I spent so much money doing it. For all these decorations it cost me no more than $15.00. Can you believe that? There are ways to have fun decorating without all the cost. Although I love decorations, the best part is putting them up and watching your kids light up!

Thanks for allowing me to be a guest on your blog Danielle and share my cost efficient decorations with all of your lovely fans!
