Fun Halloween Decorating Ideas
Halloween is second only to Christmas in
thespirit of decorating. There are many fun
ways to dress up the house that reflect the
origins of the holiday and won't empty the
pocketbook.
The everlasting pumpkin provides endless possibilities. Pumpkins can be carved, painted or left plain and set about the house and yard. Children love to design and carve their own jack o' lantern faces. The pumpkins could be complimented with smaller gourds and dried Indian corn.
Paper lunch sacks can be given faces, 
stuffed with straw and used as the head of a scarecrow. Cut scarecrow bodies out of grocery store bags or other heavy paper. Clothing can be cut out of pre-colored paper and glued to the body. While not particularly scary, these scarecrows reflect what the time of year is all about.

Dried corn stalks tied in bundles add an attractive backdrop for a pumpkin display. These displays look particularly attractive placed outside the front door or out in the lawn. If carefully stored, the corn, gourds and corn stalks can be saved and used again the next year.
One of the best ways to decorate a family home for Halloween is to enlist the creativity of children. A great, kid-friendly Halloween decorating idea is the old construction paper stand-by. Witches, moons and bats cut from construction paper make a great mural or mobile.
There are many styles of fake cobwebs available that can be hung from chandeliers and across windows or even in trees outside. Spiders can be set on the cobwebs for added effect. Homemade headstones can be hung on walls and kids and parents can have fun writing creative epitaphs.
