Decorating for Halloween doesn’t have to be expensive. You can create easy DIY Halloween Decorations to make your own creepy halloween decor. Michele from Sustainably Chic Designs shows you how you can create a scary theme quickly. I always dream of really going out like her and decking out the house with scary stuff. My son would think I’m the coolest mom on earth…….wait…….he better think that already. 
DIY Halloween Ideas
I love this idea. You see these cheese trays in Goodwill all the time. What a great way to reinvent them. While you’re at Goodwill, grab any wooden candle stick. 
Glue the candle stick to the bottom of the cheese tray. Using any kind of spray paint, spray it black.
Plop a skull inside with a bit of mossy stuff and you’ve got yourself a very cool Halloween decoration. Love it!
Here’s another easy and fun way to decorate for Halloween. She even got her boys involved. She’s got the full tutorial on her blog, but it looks like all you need is a few random jars. Spray paint the tops and fill them with all kinds of scary things. 
Like severed fingers! 
Isn’t that gross? 
I’m thinking maybe I should get my rump in gear and do a few of these before I have Ladies Bunco. She also has a few furniture re-do’s…….squeal!
Oh how I love those. There is nothing better than finding a piece of unwanted furniture and making it pretty! Who needs those expensive furniture stores anyway?
She’s got a better imagination than me……….and obviously no heebie jeebie disorder. I love the design of this chair, but there is NO way I’m touching that padding. It’s a good thing there are people like Michele to rescue these diamonds in the rough.
Can you even tell it’s the same chair? It’s lovely. It turned out beautiful! It pays to have a vision. I’d touch it now, heck I’d even sit in it. Certainly her prize and reward for looking past the ickys.
Another idea I thought was brilliant……you know how we love chalk board paint. Well, she painted the inside of her pantry doors. BRILLIANT! Use this space to keep a grocery list……….so cute!

I’ve gotta get one of those cheese domes. I just love those!
Loving all your crafty creations!
Oh what wonderful creepiness!!! I am itching to get to Halloween decorating and costumes.
Great ideas!! Thanks!!
I can never find cheese domes at my local thrift stores, danggit.
My four boys would love those severed fingers, but I don’t think I could sleep at night with them in the house.
Love the awesome Halloween ideas. Spooky.
And love the necklaces
I am so keen to hit the local Good Neighbor (thrift) store for an old cheese stand….awesome idea…
Just wish I too could see the beauty in things like Michelle….I seem to need a push…..
Why can’t I think of such clever ideas? Guess that’s why I’m visiting blogs!
) I’m all over the chalkboard pantry…very smart idea!
I LOVE your blog! Thank you so much for providing so much creative inspiration. I can’t wait to create my own halloween skull display featured in this post!
such cute halloween ideas..love the platter with the skull…
I have things taped all over the inside of our cupboards. Chalkboard paint on the inside of the cupboard door sounds like a great idea. Thanks!
I am in love with the chalkboard cabinets!! What a great idea! And I can not wait to try some of the Halloween stuff with my daughter! Great ideas, as usual!
We did a whole wall with chalkboard paint in the “man den”..when my fellas were younger ( I have 5)..they loved it and it gave them and their buddies the chance to graffiti without any lasting damages!
