I'm wanting to do some Halloween decorating without breaking the bank. Our toddler loves Halloween, so I'm trying to go above and beyond for her.

My ideas so far are:

A giant cobweb strung between two trees out of white rope.

Some ghosts hanging from tree branches.

Gravestones in the yard made from painted scrap plywood.

I would love to hear ideas for relatively simple and cheap DIY decorations, interior and exterior. She especially loves pumpkins, and we'll have several scattered around, but pumpkin ideas would be especially appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: thank you so much everyone for your lovely ideas, I've been crafting away with materials I already had and it's looking awesome!

Hey yall! My grad school committee is organizing a small Halloween gathering, for which we need decorations. I don't ever decorate for Halloween so I have nothing ready to go, and it seems like others don't either/have already used it in their own home. The alternative seems to be buying things at the dollar store, which I really want to avoid as much as possible.

Hit me with your best DIY Halloween decoration ideas!

Some homemade vintage-style decor.

1 - 5: Cardboard boxes painted and covered with Halloween craft-paper from Michael's, handpainted mini-pumpkins and Spider Rings from the Dollar Store. The small vintage images were copied from online / shrunk to size.

6: One of my "Halloween tchotchke corners", to show the actual size of some of the boxes. In the lower left corner is a Walmart plastic pumpkin painted vintage-cat style.

7 & 8: Hobby Lobby plain nutcracker, beheaded and painted to become the Headless Horseman.

9 & 10: Vintage frame painted black with Goth-type flowers surrounding a very obvious Dollar Tree skull. Attempts to use a more realistic-looking skull (with detachable jaw) didn't work out.

I'm 15 and live with my parents and 2 brothers who aren't as dedicated and excited about Halloween as I am. I want to buy some really good Halloween decor for inside and outside. We have a decent sized front yard and I wanna fully decorate it but I'm broke and I'm too young to get a job until October. I don't wanna make my parents have to buy the decorations because money is tight right now and I don't like making them pay for stuff. I have a small baking business but the income is very low. I got some kinda good decorations from the 99 Cent store last year that I gave sfx upgrades to and I heard that Dollar Tree has some good items, but are they good quality? Individual items can't cost more than $10. Any tips and ideas are appreciated! 😊
