Decorating for Halloween is one of my favorite things of the year! I love to decorate for my little ones, so I make it whimsical, magical and family friendly! I prefer spooktacular instead of scary so I don’t decorate with skeletons, but adorn my home with cute bats, spooky spiders, and lots of orange and black pumpkins. Check out more details below!

Halloween decor can be as simple or as intricate as you want. I’ve had these old wrought iron candle holders for years! The spider webbing and plastic spiders you can find at Dollar stores. Another great way to create a spooktacular Halloween on a budget and last minute, is with candles! I bought these darling battery operated spider candles, but you could use any candles. I would suggest battery operated candles because they are safer, especially with little ones around.

YOU can mix in real and faux pumpkins and sprinkle them around your home. If you want to go with a more elegant look- I love my Mackenzie-Childs pumpkins.
