Drape spider webs from the ceiling fan to each wall and hang streamers all over the room.
Turn the pictures in your home so they’re crooked or falling down.
Don’t dust for a month… seriously! It’ll add to the spookiness ((and give you an excuse to not dust!)) :)
Place a DIY large black yarn spider web on the wall (shown in photo)

Put red tissue paper over the top of the globes of some of your lights for an eerie lighting effect.
Place as many candles as you can find, all over the room.
**Streamers and balloons are big go-to’s for us! We love that you can easily (and cheaply) buy them at a dollar store and they’re big and romantic enough to place al over the house and make it look great! Use either or both of these items to make a backdrop on your wall for photos/selfies!
Spider Balloons (shown in photo):
Make these fun whimsical spiders using black crepe paper streamers and black latex balloons. First secure balloon to the wall using transparent tape and then use the crepe paper for legs, making sure to twist each piece of streamer, then tape to wall.
You can place these on the wall and ceiling for an eye catching decoration!
Jack O Lantern Balloons (shown in photo):
Draw Jack-O-Lantern faces using a black Sharpie marker on orange latex balloons to display anywhere in your house for an instant pop of Halloween fun! I found orange balloons at my local dollar store and used transparent tape to secure them.
