Green Holidays and Recycled Halloween Decorations

Halloween is a time of year for decorating. When it relates to homemade decorations, it is feasible to produce Halloween ornaments from simple things you have lying around the house. These recycled Halloween decorations are fun for all the family and bring the fright back to Halloween.

Make a Halloween Snowglobe

A Halloween Snowglobe can be created from a used glass jar, plastic bugs and false small gems, small stones or beach glass. To create this Halloween ornament, just fill the jar with Karo syrup and place the small stones, false small gems or beach glass and plastic bugs in the jar. The top of the jar can be sealed in place with some silicone caulking to prevent the liquid from escaping. When the caulk has dried and the rim of the container is strong enough, the Halloween Snowglobe will be slimy and ugly for anyone who wish to shake it up.

Recycled Halloween Spider

The egg carton is some other easy source for recycled Halloween decorations. You can produce a spider out of an egg section. Just cut out the egg section and paint black. For the legs, do four small holes on two lateral faces of the cups, insert chenille stems in each hole and stick or glue them to the cup. Two white points will represent the eyes. After making a hole in the middle of the egg cup, fishing line can be used to string up the recycled Halloween decorations everywhere in the home. In case these ornaments are the be hung outside, it is essential to spray the whole spider with a waterproof clear spray paint.

Some other Halloween Symbol: the Bat

You can as well produce a bat out of an egg carton. Alternatively to utilizing just one egg cup, this bat involves three cups in a row. The two outer cups need to be cut down to look like the wings of the bat. Paint and ornament the cups to look like a bat and string up utilizing fishing line.

Producing recycled Halloween decorations is an inexpensive manner to celebrate this creepy one-day holiday. Many decorations can be created from you already have. Additional easy recycled Halloween decorations involve lit pumpkins, lights, tree decorations. Children can produce all of these ornaments with the help of an adult.
