Halloween Decor Budget – Halloween Head

Upcycled Halloween Planters

This past spring, I decided to put lots of beautiful planted flowers in old paint cans I recycled and decorated from my garage, which then of course inspired me to create a wonderland land of hand painted Halloween planters for the fall.

I decided to get started painting my goulish containers now so that I will have an abundance of pots for mums when the time comes to plant them ( because it is too darn hot to plant them in this Oklahoma summer heat).

The great thing about upcycling planters from containers is that you could also use smaller containers for indoor plants or herbs to decorate with and display now! I recommend using tin cans, paint cans, yogurt containers, etc.

Last week, my local Dollar Tree had began to sell Halloween craft supplies and my first Dollar Tree Halloween haul contained everything I needed and more to create a new spooky Halloween wreath that I can haunt my halls with (I’ll be making another trip back there soon to make a second wreath for my Halloween-loving mom as well!)

Home Decor

Haunt the halls with ghouls and goblins, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek, eek! (That’s how the song should go, right?)

Today’s post are some photos of how I decorated the inside of my house. I’ve been slowly gathering even more haunting knick-knacks for this year’s decorating. I hope some of my display will inspire your decorating as well! Now that 4th of July has passed, I’m so ready to begin putting out the creepies! I probably won’t start until the first weekend of September. That’s not too early…
