It's October and Halloween is right around the corner! Have you made any Halloween plans and are you ready for trick or treaters to show up at your door? In this blog, we will share cute Halloween decorations and tips for the upcoming spooky holiday!

Halloween is the perfect time to try out your decorating skills! It's easy to go overboard with all of the fun, creepy things that are available in stores during this season. Here are some tips for creating a spooky environment without breaking the bank.

• Playing a Halloween music playlist is the easiest way to set the spooky mood immediately with no effort!
• Use items you already have at home. For example, lighting lots of candles can create a spooky mood just by itself!
• Lighting a fall-themed candle can make your entire space smell like fall and wow your guests. Some great fall-themed scents include pumpkin spice, mahogany, cranberry, apple, and marshmallow.
• You can decorate your outdoor space with seasonal mums that will transform your space for cheap.
• Big and small pumpkins are the quickest and easiest way to transform a space into the fall season, and you can always carve the pumpkins for added fun!
• Use low lighting or string lights for an eerie feel. Bonus if the string lights are a fun Halloween color, like orange, purple, or green.
• Fake spider webs are a cheap way to make any room or porch ready for Halloween trick-or-treaters and can be reused year after year!
• If you have someone artistic in the family, painting your own Halloween wall art can be a fun family activity.
• Buying Halloween candy in bulk will save you money and keep your guests satisfied with the sweets!
• Switching out hand towels, pillowcases, and blankets with fall colors also sets the Halloween mood, such as oranges, purples, and black!
• You can also DIY some Halloween crafts like making a "Happy Halloween" banner with extra supplies or making cute pipe cleaner spiders.
