Halloween is the second most decorated holiday of the year, people love to make Halloween props to decorate their home and garden. Some people buy all decorations and props and others make Halloween props by hand. If you think its hard to make everything yourself you can also choose to mix bought items and home made props, this way you safe time, money and have a scary home. Here are some really fun and easy ways to make Halloween props for the entire house.

Make Halloween props for the front yard

It is fun to decorate the front yard for Halloween because so many people will see it. Everyone who will walk or drive trough the street will see what you have created. You can make Halloween props yourself and you can think of items like pumpkins on the porch, a huge tarantula from large trash bags or a big spider web in the bushes. You can also make Halloween props like "old" grave stones in the yard.

The other option you have for the front yard is to see it a bit larger and rent or buy one or more professional Halloween props, these can be animated. Lights and sound are also a crucial when you want to scare people. But for the front yard you should buy outdoor lights because you never know what weather it is going to be. Buying or renting a fog machine and some sound effects for added enjoyment will certainly make people talk for a long time a bout what they experienced in your yard.

Make Halloween props for the Living Room

Decorating the living room is for your own family and your guest the place where they will spend most of their time, so this is the room where you need to put in some effort. Still the living room should not be over decorated, it also needs to stay a place where you can be yourself and relax. You can buy some Halloween stickers or hang ups for the windows and walls. A home made dish with candy or candy apples is nice for the coffee table and you can make Halloween props like figurines for special effects on the table.

Make Halloween props for the Kitchen

Just as the living room, the kitchen is a place you do not want to over decorate because you need to be able to use it for its original function. You can use Halloween dish clothes around the kitchen and make Halloween props like place mats on the table. But we would advice you to try to find a scary Halloween center piece for the kitchen table or counter top, in prop shops you have props that seem to come from the butcher that move and bleed. They are real scary and you just need one item (like the moving hand see link below) to create the most scary kitchen in the neighborhood.

Make Halloween props for the Rest of the House

The rest of the house is totally up to you, there are so many cute or scary Halloween decorations you can buy or make like Halloween bed sheets, toilet covers and towels. But also Halloween figurines for each room for the windows. For the windows that look at the front yard you can best make Halloween props that fit with your yard decoration. If you decide to make Halloween props yourself you will notice that its fun and exciting to do. But it does not matter if you buy or make Halloween props, if you store them carefully you can add something each year. In a few years you will have the best decorated home for the Halloween holiday you can dream about.
