Scary Halloween Props to Get into the Spirit
Can you imagine a Halloween without any scary Halloween props? Probably not but the expenses might be a reason to not decorate this year. If that is the case in your family you should know that there is really no excuse not to have scary Halloween props because they are easy to make and the materials are readily available. It doesn’t have to expensive to look good.
Traditions are there to be broken
Black and orange being the traditional colors, you can add silver to jazz things up and plenty of glitter for sparkle. Your scary Halloween props can even diverge from the traditional orange and black and instead feature scary skeletons, spiders and witches in keeping with the mood. Purple works just ass well at this time of year.
Use Indoor and Outdoor scary Halloween props
Did you ever think that foam packing could be part of your scary Halloween props? Well now you can utilize any foam lying around or go out and buy some this Halloween. Find ghost templates online or use your imagination to draw ghostly silhouettes on packing foam. Cut these out and use a craft knife to make eyes and mouth. These look fantastic stuck on a black background at a window or made into a creepy mobile. You can even hang them in your trees. Make them whatever size you want and put them anywhere you like.
You can use felt to make other Halloween shapes, like pumpkins and bats to accompany your foam ghosts.
Mummies and gravestones
Mummy treat holders are more on the cute side of scary Halloween props. Take toilet tissue roll tubes and cut them in two. Now trace a circle around one end of the tubes onto a piece of circle. Cut out the circle and tape onto the end of the tubes. Wrap the tubes in gauze, winding it this way and that to give a mummy look. Then add goggle eyes. Fill these with treats and put them all over the house, great for when guests come over. Or give them to children at Halloween parties or you can even use them as part of your table centerpieces.
You can make gravestones from boxes or cardboard materials that you paint gray or some other stone color. You can even visit a graveyard to get some inspiration. Place your gravestones a bit crooked for that scary look.
As you can see there are scary Halloween props for every budget, just have fun.
