We decorated our yard w/ out spending a ton this year and have gotten loads of compliments. -trash bag spiders and ghosts: spider: take a large trash bag and fill with leaves. flip upside to use as the body. take a 2nd trash bag and fill up only halfway and tape to the body using duct tape. for the legs-twist 2 trashbags together lengthwise then wrap with black electrical tape or black duct tape-bend in the middle to create joints while taping. make 8 of these. cut small slits in the body of spider and insert legs. using 2 red plastic cups, cut small circles out for the eyes and attach with clear packing tape. ghosts: fill white trash bag with leaves, flip upside down then use black felt or construction paper to make eyes and mouth (tape using clear plastic tape) pumpkins: check your local hardware store for orange colored trash bags. fill with leaves. using black duct tape-create face on front of pumpkin. tombstones: -use heavy duty cardboard,wood,or styrofoam to make gravestone shapes -spray paint these a gray color and let dry-once dry, use black marker or black duct tape to make saying on the tombstone then attach to a wooden stake with hot glue and hammer into your lawn -small ghosts to put inside bushes and trees: you'll need 2 plastic grocery bags to make one ghost: cut off handles of first bag and roll it into a ball (tennis ball sized) cut off handles of second bag and use the section of the bag w/ no writing on it place the ball inside the second bag and wrap the bag around the ball (when tipped over it will form a ghost shape). use the handles to tie around the bag to form the ghost's neck. I use christmas ornament hooks to hang these in my front bush in my lawn-everyone loves them. milk jug ghosts: -wash out clear empty milk cartons and let dry -once dry,cut a small hole into the back of the milk carton (towards the bottom-this is so you can place the tealight inside of it) -pour about an inch worth of small white rocks into the bottom to weight down the cartons and help hold the tealight -using black construction paper,black electrical or duct tape-cut out shapes to make jack o' lantern eyes,nose,mouth -hot glue the faces to the front of the milk jugs when it's dark out-place your milk jug ghosts on the front porch and add your tealight-I use the battery operated ones since they are safer and won't melt the plastic :) -buy the cobwebs from your local dollar store and decorate your trees,bushes with it. -buy a black light and replace your porch light w/ it-our dollar store had this along with a plastic ghost to cover the light with so it glows. hope this helps!!
