If you want to be the talk of your neighbourhood then follow our wicked ways to create that spooky feel in the front of your home. At this time of year, trees are often looking bare, therefore are perfect for decorating with small pumpkin lanterns and lights perched on the branches. You could also consider decorating your front door with crafty cobwebs or bats – these are easy to make and will ensure your house looks extra spooky.
Ghostly gallery
Your mantel piece, shelves and bookcases’ are often decorated with old family photos of your loved ones from present and generations ago – what’s great about this is you can create a ghostly feel to your gallery by adding some cobwebs and some old fashion candles.
