Chances are, you're already starting to see plenty of Halloween decorations popping up around your neighborhood. A lot of people like to get a head start on the season. They may relish the chance to display inflatable front lawn ornaments and have had playful ghosts and fake gravestones laid out since late September. Of course, not all of us are willing to go for the gusto when it comes to holiday decorations, but that doesn't mean only the extreme Halloween devotees get to have fun.
If you're looking for a way to spruce up your home with some delightful Halloween décor, there are plenty of options available. And you can even retain your modesty while you do so! Here are a few ideas to help get you in the proper frame of mind.
Naturally, when you think of Halloween, you think of jack-o-lanterns. It's a bit of a project to put one together, but there are plenty of online resources available to you that will help make the process much easier. This can be a great option if you'd like to get into the holiday's spirit (no pun intended) without getting too over the top. Do yourself a favor and wait until Halloween gets closer, though, or else you'll be greeting trick-or-treaters with a rotting pumpkin.
For something a bit more modest, you could always display some Halloween-inspired floral arrangements. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to bring a bouquet to life with a little bit of ingenuity. Remember those small buckets kids used to get from fast food restaurants around this time of year? If you've got a few of them laying around in the basement, this is a great opportunity to put them to good use. Simply arrange a few orange lilies or carnations inside and you've got a delightful boo-quet that's sure to capture the attention of passersby.
While you're at it, you might as well pick up a sweet treat for yourself. You can easily find brownie pops done up to look like pumpkins, mummies and candy corn. You're probably not going to want to hand them out - do yourself a favor and keep them for yourself. You can even pick up a jack-o-lantern cookie jar to keep those delectable confections fresh!
