| Decorating Deadroom (bedroom) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Bedroom:If you have guests staying overnight you may want to decorate the guest bedroom in your home or decorate your bedroom. Here's a few ideas for decorating the bedroom. Use old torn curtains for table clothes and curtains. Spread some fake cobweb around the room but be sure to keep it away from lamps, etc. You can find Halloween bedspreads with matching pillows at stores like Marshall's or on the web, or you can use old torn curtains. Put a rubber mouse on the nightstand. Your guests will know you cared enough to go the extra step. Halloween fabric is available if you can make the bedspreads yourself. |

 Pillow:The Halloween pillows can be used on the bed or on a chair. You can find them at stores like Marshall's or on the web. There is Halloween fabric at hobbies stores if you can make the pillows yourself rather easily. |

Window:Add Halloween spirit to the windows, try some spooky curtains. Use old material or sheets and wash them in gray dye. Rinse and wash them immediately until you are sure that there is no extra dye. Tatter the sheet edges to make them look old. Or decorate your windows with some pictures that you make yourself. Go to the "Coloring Pages" on this web site. |

 Bloody Mirror:Add a touch of Halloween to the mirror. Decorate with washable water color paints. Place some newspaper under your mirror to catch any drips. Put the red water color paint in a flat container and than dip your hands in the paint and press them against the mirror for a few seconds. I bet the children would be happy to do this for you. |

Ghosts:Helium balloons covered with old white material or white trash bags make great ghosts. Paint or use magic marker to make scary faces on them. Anchor the balloon with a small bag of sand at the end of the string. The wind moves them and seems to give them life. Placing the ghosts together in small groups of 3 looks even better. The faces can be drawn on with a marker if you don't find balloons with faces. Put up some plastic spiders on the curtain also. |

Jack-o-lantern:Decorate the bedroom with a Jack-o-lantern. Placing a Jack-o-lantern with an electric candle gives the room a nice decorative Halloween motif and it smells nice too. If using a candle be extra cautious. Illuminating the Jack-o-lantern with a battery is always safest. |
|||
 Picture frame:Here's a nice touch. Dress up an old photo of a loved one that your quests know and are familiar with. Taping a paper pumpkin to the frame gives a regular frame a Halloween flavor. |
|||
Rubber Mouse:Place a rubber mouse on the floor of the bedroom near the bed where it is out of the way but can still be seen. If you have one, place the mouse in a real mouse trap. |
