#1 Simple But Effective Halloween Decor
To find out more about DIY projects for the spooky season, we got in touch with Halloweenist and host of the Halloween Art and Travel Podcast, Kristen Stafford. Kristen was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and discuss why she loves decorating for October 31st so much.
"It feels like I’m greeting long-term treasured friends when I pull out my Halloween decorations every year," she shared. "It’s a wave of excitement and nostalgia. I live for the challenge of keeping some things the same while innovating new ways to decorate."
#2 I Wanted To Share The Pumpkin Arch I Built This Year
We also asked Kristen how she decided to decorate this October. "I focused on a mixture of a cottagecore, woodland creature, and witchy decorations," she revealed. "It gives off a fairytale vibe. Blending everything is like composing a symphony."
"I recovered two simple slip seat cushions with woodland animal fabric. Recovering slip seats is an easy DIY project that makes a huge impact. The fabric options available are endless and provide for fun and creativity," the host explained. "I also picked up some dried moss and glass display boxes from a craft store. I added multiple colors of moss to the bottom of the glass boxes and added faux bones and a few small Halloween decorations I already had on top. It looks amazing and was so easy (and no mess!)."
#3 My Witch House From Last Halloween
Finally, Kristen shared some advice for readers who may not be DIY experts but would like to participate in decorating for Halloween this year. "Start simple with your DIY decorations and build up. Paper witch hats are easy and low-cost to make. There are loads of 2D and 3D patterns available on the internet. The paper hats can then be placed on the decor you already have to spook it up," she shared.
#4 We Are Under A Burn Ban And I Had Made These Refractory Skulls Hoping To Use Them In My Fire Pit. So, I Made A Faux Fire That Turned Out Pretty Realistic!
"I also recommend getting glass display boxes. It’s even easy to find coffin-shaped ones. Line the bottom of the box with dried moss and then place some nature-based decorations on top, like faux bones, little Halloween collectibles, plants, rocks, sticks, etc.," Kristen says.
"Another option is to put down a base of shredded black or orange paper, and then arrange marbles, candy, or collectibles on top. The possibilities are endless. To elevate it even more, add battery-operated votives or fairy lights."

f you’re curious about how Americans decorate for Halloween, Angi.com has got you covered.

Nearly the same amount of people also take down their decor during the first week of November.
Over two-thirds of survey respondents said that they’ll spend between three and six hours putting up Halloween decorations, and half reported that they decorate their front yards with inflatables. Nearly 73% of Americans believe that there’s nothing wrong with gory Halloween decorations, and over a third put up gruesome decor in their own homes.
