- Use cheesecloth to create a ghostly effect by draping it over furniture or hanging it from trees. Spray with glow-in-the-dark paint for an eerie glow.
- Create “potion bottles” by filling old bottles with colored water, veggie oil, glitter, and random objects like plastic spiders or fake eyeballs.
- Cover doorways and windows with stretched-out cobwebs made from cotton batting or dryer lint pulled apart.
- Make giant spiders out of black trash bags stuffed with newspaper and pipe cleaners for legs.
- Hollow out pumpkins and use them as lantern holders for pillar candles or string lights.
- Carve other fruit and veggies like apples, squash, or melons into Jack-o’-lantern designs.
- Swap out regular light bulbs for colored ones or cover them with cellophane for an instant spooky vibe.
- Fill latex gloves with popcorn kernels and tie them off to make gruesome “severed hands” to scatter around.
- Drape indoor plants with fake cobwebs and plastic spiders for a haunted greenhouse effect.
- Make DIY tombstones out of styrofoam painted gray and write silly epitaphs with permanent marker.
