Early Halloween ideas...

    I realize its still very early for Halloween ideas, but I have seen so many decorations already. Hurry October 1st. I really cant wait!! I may sneak a few decorations around but very few. I am patiently waiting, really I am!!
    Here are a few ideas that I thought might interest you.
    Cheap Ideas...
    Black construction paper- Cut out shapes of scary cats and rats, place along your base boards or even cut out mouse holes for interest along the floors.
Cut out lots of flying bats, and even hanging bats to add around the doors or even all over your walls. If you place lots around your front door and even add a few on the ceiling it looks as if they are trying to escape.
Take long strips of paper and cut to look like cracks. Tape to the windows to look like the windows are broken. This makes for a really cheap haunted house effect.
    Use black stones on tables or even in plants. Write on them with chaulk. write words like Ichabod, help me, poison or toxic. I think this such a fun idea... I will probably use this for evil of some sort...
    Fake spiders- Buy large ones to place on walls or crawling down curtains. I have even seen some large enough to sit in a corner. Wouldn't that creep people out. Sitting on the couch with a gaint spider staring you down. Use small plastic ones to place lines of them running down the walls or even on the doors close to the door knob. Yeah that would definitely be creepy.
    Spider webs- Use fake spiderwebs in doorways. Place them over art, dishes, tables and even lamps. Be careful though they could catch fire so use caution please. Ball up some of the webs and hang them with fake spiders hooked to them. Nothing like spider eggs!
     These are just a few ideas, I promise there will be many more.
For all of you who read this. I have an idea and would love some feed back. I am thinking about decorating other homes for holidays. I am not sure how to go about it, but think that would be the best job ever! Please let me know what you think and any suggestions.
