Halloween DIY Ideas 

Want killer Halloween decorations without the scary price tag? Transform your home with these DIY strategies: 

• Have a Central Theme 

A clear theme makes it easier to gather your ideas and make them work together harmoniously. It also makes decorating easier and more impactful. A theme will also give you a mental picture of what you need when you go to pick discount Halloween decorations at Ollie’s. 

Some theme ideas are haunted house, spiders and webs, witches and potions, graveyard, and mad science lab. 

• Map Out Your Spaces 

Where will you be placing your decor? Map out those areas — the front porch, entryway, living room, windows, walls, or yard — you’ll get a better sense of how much decor you’ll need. 

• See What You Already Have 

DIY Halloween decor is about creativity. Rather than buying everything new, see if you have home decor pieces that you can repurpose to fit this year’s theme. Get the rest of the pieces you need from Ollie’s. 

The National Retail Federation says that shoppers are spending more on Halloween decor, and sales are expected to reach $4.2 billion this year. Hurry and take advantage of the discounts (up to 70% off the fancy stores!) before stock runs out.

• Layer the Decor 

The secret to a spooky ambiance that feels real is layering and depth. Here’s how to layer decorations like a pro:  

1. Lay down the base layer first, using creepy fabric, cobwebs, or black netting.  

2. Bring out the statement pieces, like skeletons, ghosts, tombstones, pumpkins, or cauldrons.

3. Add small decor accents like candles, eyeballs, spiders, bones, bugs, and leaves to bring the look together. 

4. Use lanterns, string lights, glow sticks, or LED candles to set the mood and add the perfect glow.

5. Finish off with eerie music or motion-sensored sound effects to really set the spooky vibe.
