I really, really, really wanted to decorate for Halloween this year. The problem was that my budget didn't allow for many purchases, and I have very few decorations from years previous.
I was pretty proud of my ingenuity on this project. Wreath: grapevine wreath ($1), black spray paint ($3), creepy crawlies (some found around the house, others $1), burlap ribbon (old rice bag $0, had paint $0)
Mimi and Pa bought us pumpkins when they were here. Black paper bats (have had that heavy black paper forever! $0)
Pipe cleaner spiders I made a couple years ago ($0)
Black crow ($1) wish I would've gotten more of these. Spray painted pumpkin turned out fun!
Man eating pumpkin! Shoe, sock, jeans (had them $0)!
Had spider webs from last year, pipe cleaner spiders, skeleton garland in window (part of the creepy crawlers $1 pack, strung on ribbon I had).
Not pictured, orange string lights (previous year $0)
Do like how many times I put $0 ? I liked it too. I was pretty happy with the decorations and how it turned out. The kids had a lot of fun putting it together with me. Many of the bats have fallen down and the cobwebs are no longer up thanks to the wind that blows through there.
I found most of these ideas on
Pinterest. Which I pinned to my
Halloween Board.

So cute! We want to come trick-or-treating at your house. Please tell me that when my baby gets older I will once again have the energy to do things like decorate my porch.
Man eating pumpkin! That's so cute, in the gruesome way. Nice work. Our boys always wish I would decorate more for Halloween...
