I've never been one to decorate or pay much mind to Halloween (except when I was a kid); I usually dress up the living room and dining room for fall and definitely for Christmas. But, thanks to my latest Pinterest addiction, I have become addicted to Halloween decor. If you look at my Halloween Pinterest page you will find everything from spooky snacks to DIY ghosts that I can't wait to try! Most everything looks like it will be pretty cheap to make; I'll get back with you on that. :)
 
Here are some things that I will definitely be trying for our Halloween party on the eve of the OU/Notre Dame football game (Boomer Sooner!):

A starched fabric ghost. How cool is that?!


I love love love this one. Too easy.


This one is almost done already. Remember the dead tree limbs I used for our Easter tablescape? I just added a little black spray paint. Now I just need to find some crows.


These illuminating ghosts are made from tomato cages. Why can't I think of stuff like this?!


This is just too cool.


I know I said that I am trying all of these ideas, but I am DEFINITELY making these eyeball truffles. Remember these Oreo truffles? How perfect?! And simple!














I know that orange is the one color every Sooner fan should despise...but, in the spirit of Halloween, I may just have to make this white hot chocolate recipe and color it...gag...orange. Isn't the peep marshmallow cute?! I also found the idea of freezing cool whip on a baking sheet and then using cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes. Also fun!


When pumpkins cost under $4 each, how can you NOT do something like this?


These styrofoam heads cost $4.99 each at Hobby Lobby ($3 if you use a 40% off coupon from their Web site!), and you can find guaze in any first aid kit you have lying around.


I love this idea. We have a couple of chandeliers we can dress up with cheesecloth to (hopefully) make them resemble this photo.


Again, so easy.


Who doesn't love chocolate-dipped pretzels?


I love dry ice.


What a perfect use for a pumpkin!


Bleeding candles. Love them.


Love it.


I will have to recycle a few awesome ideas from our Twilight party as well, like this blood-covered popcorn:


...and these yummy bloody cupcakes


Links to all of these ideas can be found on my Halloween Pinterest page. I simply can't wait for Oct. 1 to get here!

Until then, <3
