Do you ever wish
you could make your Halloween decorations more distinctive? If so, you
should take some direction from my nephew, who recently completely
wowed us all with his creativity. Every year, my sister and my neighbor
have a good natured competition over who creates the best haunted house
within their own homes. But this year my nephew outdid them both with
his distinctive and unique Halloween decorations.
With his decorations, my nephew would have done the Adams family proud.
He placed fake spider webs all over the house, with the stairs looking
the best. Then he used several plastic bats, setting them artistically
in various corners of the rooms of their house. He even hung them from
the chandelier in the family room. Then he used paper skeletons to add
an extra touch. He stuck them to the walls in a very creative fashion.
For example, one looked like it was walking into my sister’s bedroom,
and another appeared to be peaking out of the door to the basement.
There was even one that would welcome you as you entered the front
door, greeting you from behind the couch with a bony smile.
He also decked out the kitchen. He placed artfully carved Jack
O’Lanterns around with tea lights to give the room a spooky glow. Then,
with clever touches he made the kitchen into a witch’s sanctuary. A
decorated paper witch was hung where the mop is usually kept, and the
mop itself was decorated to look like a witch’s broom. Then, he placed
a potion pot on the stove to really make it feel like something creepy
was cooking in the kitchen! You just knew that witch was up to no good!
However, the theme I loved the most was the one he put together in my
niece’s bedroom. She’s an avid collector of stuffed animals, with plush
toys everywhere. There were stuffed monkeys, cats, bunnies, teddy
bears, and pretty much anything else you could think of. Rather than
get rid of all the cute, my nephew decided to use them as props. He
turned some of the plush toys into phantoms and ghosts, with white
handkerchiefs used for each and a hole for their eyes. He looped a
strap around their waists and hung them from the ceiling so they were
“floating.? For her stuffed raccoon, because it already had a
villainous look with its natural mask, he added a chain and a plastic
knife. He turned several of the animals into vampires, the best of
which was one of her teddy bears. He gave it a black cape and made some
sharp white teeth from paper to complete its transformation in to a
bloodsucker.
My nephew proved that with some creativity you can really make a spooky
Halloween haunt. And of course, to no one’s surprise, he won the
competition! We’re now all anxiously waiting to see what he’ll come up
with next year, and who knows what my niece’s teddy bears will become
next! So as you can see, there are many ways to be creative and work
with what you already have to make the perfect Halloween sanctuary.
Have fun , and creativity will surely follow!
