I love Halloween but I am not willing to spend a bunch of money to decorate for only a few weeks, bottom line I am cheep. I did find a few cute ideas that I could make for little money. I also just decorated two spots my mantle and a table by my front door. It was David's idea to put the spider on the painting he thought it was especially sneaky.
I love the decorative pumpkins but I thought I would never have them because I was not willing to spend $15 and up in price a peace. I was at Kroger and they had a sign 2 for $4 by these pumpkins I couldn't believe it. I asked one of the produce guys and he said it was the correct price. I checked out and I felt like I was stealing when the cashier asked me the price because they had no sticker or code on them. but for $6 I got these cool pumpkins. I also stick a balloon on my dress form and thew a table cloth and some cheese cloth over it. David thinks it is a great ghost.
I lives this idea when I saw it online I used burlap from the remnant bin $2, ribbon and pain I already had. I made this a learning thing for David I drew with pencil the letters on each and he helped me get then in the right order to make the words. Then we painted them together you can probably tell witch David painted but he did a pretty good job.
this ghost is so cute a spaghetti sauce jar and $1 spray paint. Craft paint for the eyes and mouth I used my thumb for the mouth and finger for the eyes. The wire is from the hardware store $5 for 100Y and a tea light. I think this is a great bang for your buck.
last year David and I made these ghosts cheese cloth, a Styrofoam ball and a hanger plus a face I got online. We also cut out black paper silhouette of bats and spites and things to stick around the house. I love it when a little time and less money make some cute things.

You're amazing, Sarah. I did not put one single halloween decoration up. We had 2 pumpkins which did not get carved! So next year, I will definitely be stealing a few of your ideas!
