Modify Existing Wall Art

• Turn paintings and photographs around your home into eerie pictures using construction paper. Cut out different Halloween themed shapes, such as pumpkins, ghosts and bats. Place these on the glass of the picture frame, using tape, to add a Halloween theme to the picture. If there are people in the picture, make masks, witches' hats and devil's horns using construction paper and tape them on the glass over the heads of the people in the picture.
  
  

Window Decorations

• Adding decorations to your windows adds Halloween flair both indoors and outdoors. One option is to use window paint and paint a spooky image, such as a witch at a cauldron or scary eyes glaring out. Another idea is to make a black cat using a black stocking cap for the cat's head, black hose for the cat's body and black socks for the legs. Stuff it with cotton batting and attach the legs and head using a needle and thread. Add details to the cat, such as a face, cut out of felt. Glue the details on and then place the cat's body under a closed window with the head outside and the body inside.
  
  

Spooky Ghosts

• Halloween, also known as All Hallows Eve, is the night that the dead could walk amongst the living, in many cultures' lore. Putting ghosts around your home nods at this old belief. Make ghosts to hang from ceiling fixtures or trees outside. Dip pieces of cheesecloth into liquid starch. Lay the cloth over inflated balloons and allow it to dry. Add black eyes to the ghosts and hang them using fishing line. Alternatively, cover Styrofoam balls with pieces of white fabric. Draw the eyes on the ghosts and use fishing line to string them up.
  
  

Faux Pumpkins

• Pumpkins and jack-o'-lanterns are one of the most common decorations you see on Halloween. Instead of decorating your home with fresh pumpkins, create your own out of household supplies. Turn plastic or terracotta flower pots upside down and paint faces on them using acrylic paints. Another idea is to fill brown paper lunch bags with newspaper. Tie the tops off with green raffia and paint the bag orange. The finished items give you a pumpkin or jack-o'-lantern that does not rot.
