Traditions and symbols - that's what makes each holiday interesting and original. And with respect to Halloween this statement is true for 100%. The whole atmosphere of this holiday is built on horrible carnival costumes and no less eerie decorations for the house. About how to make the latter independently and will be discussed in our today's article.
Halloween decorations with your own hands: ideas for home
To begin with, the decoration of the house on the eve of All Saints Day is one of the main traditions of this holiday. Its essence is to deceive evil spirits by "camouflaging" their homes from assassination attempts. Of course, most people do not believe that on the night of November 1, real ghosts and monsters roam the streets. But they are sure that decorating the house with the help of awesome scenery is a great pastime with children and a very fun time. In addition, it's not hard to make a dreadful decoration with your own hands, which not only saves the family budget, but also develops creative abilities.
So, the easiest and easiest way to decorate a house is to use improvised materials. For example, gauze, mesh, paper, old boards, jars and plastic bottles. From gauze or a grid attached to a wire, it is possible to make ghosts that will guard the front door or courtyard. Cut out the usual black paper silhouettes of monsters and witches and unusual decor for the windows is ready. From paper, you can also make a flock of bats or crows. Old boards are suitable for imitating a broken coffin or boarded shutters, and plastic bottles with painted faces can replace traditional pumpkins.
How to decorate a room on Halloween with your own hands
If you are planning a party for the All Saints Day, be sure to take care of decorating the room in which it will be held. Begin with the design of the main zone, which will become the central place in the room. It can be, for example, a fireplace, a wall or a regular table. From multi-colored paper, you can make a congratulatory stretching, and from the black cardboard cut silhouettes of monsters. Do not forget about traditional pumpkin-lanterns, which can be located not only in the main zone, but throughout the house. By the way, it's quite easy to cut out a pumpkin: it's enough to use ready-made templates or draw a mug at your discretion.
In addition, you can add a special atmosphere to the room by using the correct lighting. And the smaller it will be, or rather, the weaker the light, the better. In the role of suitable lamps can come out candles, pumpkin lanterns and New Year garlands. And that even ordinary furniture seemed terrible and old in this world - adorn it with gauze. But not simple, but specially aged with the help of divorced paints and scissors.
