Easy and Cheap Halloween Decor


Now, you may be thinking: Oh my goodness, I need to sort out my Halloween stuff. Well don't worry because I have you covered with a few simple decor pieces and where to check out if you don't have time for making it yourself.

1. Halloween Banner
This one is super simple but a little time consuming. Shops always sell expense banners saying things like 'Happy Halloween' but I thought instead of spending loads of money that I would just make my own. The best bit about it is that you can make it in what ever colour or pattern you want.

You'll need
  • Some card
  • A hot glue gun
  • Scissors
  • A pen
  • Some string
1. Take your card and cut out the different letters of your message. Remember the letter will come out backwards to what you draw on the back of your card so take your time to do it right.
2. Arrange all your letters on your string and glue them on with a small amount of hot glue. Be careful with the glue because it does get very hot. 
3. Put it up somewhere and you're done.

2. Hanging ghosts
These are classic and so, so easy

You'll need
  • Some white card
  • Scissors
  • A pen
  • Some string
  • A hot glue gun or whole punch
1. Draw out the shape of your ghost on the card
2. Cut him out
3. Draw on some eyes
4. Use a small amount of hot glue to attach some string or you could use a hole punch but I found the glue looked neater. 

Theses DIYs are perfect for a small decorated area but if you holding a party or want to make your front garden really spooktacular I have got the shops to go to.

1. ASDA
ASDA has the most amazing Halloween stuff. It was always the place I would drag my mum to. Their decorations and costumes are cheap and they have a good range of childish to a bit more grown up. Its a great place to go if you are throwing a party because they have great themed serving wear.

2. The Range
This place goes all out during every season but I have too say this year their stuff is amazing. They have soo many huge statue type things and lots of decorations. Its definitely stuff to save for next year. They have great deals on high quality face paints and an array of masks for the lazy costumers. 

3. Home Sense
If you want to do Halloween like an American then this is the place to go. It is chock full of every decoration under the sun and definitely has something for everyone. 

4. Aldi
Although this isn't somewhere you would expect to see good Halloween stuff you would be surprised. They had great prices on pumpkins  so if your on a very small budget you'll find what you need there. 

I hope this helped in your Halloween quests and have a happy Halloween!
