Ideas For DIY
Brenda from UniqueJunktique (love that name!) sent me this link suggestion for a parade of vintage paper clay Halloween sticks.
She has a great collection of vintage postcards for Halloween and she has used them as the inspiration for creating these creatures on a stick.
These will make a great decoration for a Halloween party or theme.
Materials used are common ones found in most craft stores like Michael’s.

This Garage Door Halloween Decoration project is such a fun way to make a big Halloween statement without needing to decorate the whole yard. Instead of a small wreath or porch sign, this idea turns the entire garage door into a spooky silhouette scene, complete with witches, pumpkins, trees, cats, and creepy Halloween shapes.
I really like this one because it has huge visual impact from the street. The black silhouettes against the pale garage door make the design easy to see, even from a distance, and it gives the whole house that haunted Halloween feel without being too gory or scary. It is perfect for families who want something dramatic but still fun for trick-or-treaters.
This is also a great project if you enjoy cutting your own shapes from cardboard, poster board, foam board, or lightweight plastic sheets. You could keep the design simple with just bats and pumpkins, or go all out with witches, trees, ghosts, black cats, and cauldrons. Add a few outdoor spotlights or battery lights nearby and it would look amazing at night.
What makes this project especially clever is that the garage door becomes the backdrop, so you do not need a lot of expensive supplies to fill a large space. It is bold, budget-friendly, and very customizable.
