Instagram Inspiration: Spooky and Simple Halloween Decorations
Last-minute decorations that require three or fewer materials!
By Kate Murphy October 28, 2015
Halloween is right around the corner! For many, this brings anticipated delight, but for those who put off celebrating until the last minute (me), this fact is probably daunting–and not in the pleasantly-scared Halloween way. But have no fear, fellow procrastinators! These Instagrammers have your back. There are plenty of ways you can spook-ify your home without committing too much time, material and effort.
The key to the perfect last-minute decoration? Add a face. Animating your house ensures eeriness. If you’re not into sticking googly eyes everywhere, simply decorate with cobwebs and construction paper bats. Whether you are scaring treat-or-treaters or party-goers, these last-minute decorations will transform your comfortable home into a haunted house.
