There's only a week left until Halloween! Do you need do decorate your home or office quickly and on a budget?
Here are some ideas that I've tried that maximizes the effect in a short amount of time:

MUMMY DOOR

TIME: 30 minutes
MATERIALS: toilet paper, black trash bag, yellow construction paper, marker, tape, scissors

DIRECTIONS:

SPIDER WEBS
TIME: 30-60 minutes
MATERIALS: fake stretchable spider webs (fake spiders were included in the bags I used.
COST: $1/bag at Target - I used 2 bags for about 1,000 sq ft of space, so total cost was $2!
DIRECTIONS:
(1) decorate your house using the spiderwebs - looks especially awesome in corner spaces and windows.

3D BATS
TIME: 30 minutes
MATERIALS: printer, scissors, tape
COST: FREE
DIRECTIONS:
(1) find a cool (or easy to cut) bat silhouette online.
(2) print them in black
(3) cut out the shape and tape them to the walls
(4) tape the middle section first, then tape the wings so that they are not flat on the walls but slightly closer to the body of the bats (middle section). This creates an illusion of flying bats!
Happy decorating!
