A little creative folding and cutting can transform an item you already have on hand into weatherproof adornments that you can reuse every year. Turn your black outdoor trash bags into large spider webs. Make a few and hang them on your front porch; you can add a string of lights to them or small plastic spiders.

Dotted Swiss fabric turns eerie when modified into a torn and tattered drape. You can serve scary lychee eyeball punch in a classic battery glass and spread silhouettes of rats, made from black craft paper, all over the display.

Wine Bottle Candle Holders
An eerie sparkle is vital at any Halloween party, and candles add just that. Paint used wine bottles with matte-black spray paint; insert a taper candle in each bottle opening once dried. Allow the candles to drip along the sides to give it that spooky effect.

Just before scary Halloween movies were created, people were getting shivers from scary novels. So why not use these spooky classics right onto your Halloween decoration? To make the book door, cut long, thin rectangular pieces of varying colored kraft paper. Draw titles of books on the paper—outline characters with gold paint pens. Add outline with gold acrylic paint. Affix to door with double-sided tape. Add a big bushel container and buffalo-check doormat.
Broomstick Door Decoration

Pumpkin Candy Dispenser
We love it when the decor is both seasonal and useful. So put your pumpkin to good use by transforming it into a one-of-a-kind candy dispenser. To make this DIY craft, trace the bottom of a glass bowl or storage compartment onto the front of a medium pumpkin. Cut out around tracing, then scoop out the pulp seeds. Insert a bowl, making the hole slightly bigger if needed. Put a piece of thick rope around the edge of the bowl with hot glue. Fill the bowl with lots of candies.
