Four top Halloween party decorating ideas.
1. Drape white or gray sheets over all the furniture, for a haunted house look. Old, grimy, dusty sheets are best.
2. Dead flower bouquets are easy to make. Ask your florist for any wilted flowers they may have. If you’re lucky they’ll provide them for free. Hang the flowers in a dry, well-ventilated place for a few days to let them dry out a little, then spray them with black paint. You could also just use plastic flowers, sprayed black.
3. Make some eerie ghosts by draping white sheets over helium balloons, and setting them loose to drift around the room.
4. Create a creepy Halloween fog. Place small pieces of dry ice in a bucket of very hot water and set it behind a tombstone or a party decoration. Dry ice is very inexpensive and you can buy it from companies which freeze food. It’s best not to use this idea for a children’s party, as the dry ice may be hazardous if handled incorrectly.
