Halloween is right around the corner, which means you’ve probably already brought down all your decorations from the attic or garage. It won’t be long before you decide to take a late night cruise and admire your neighbors’ gaudy decorations in all their glory. In fact, you might even have a few of your own blow-up decorations scattered across a lawn buried in colorful leaves.
There’s nothing quite like grinning jack-o’-lanterns, scarecrows, and signs warning visitors they may never be the same after leaving your home. It’s spooky and delightful all wrapped up in one.
Therefore, we’ve decided to share some of our favorite eco-friendly Halloween decorations. These projects are easy to do and you’ll feel better knowing you made them yourself. Super awesome.
Paper Towel Tube Pumpkin Garland
Okay, so you’ve probably been wondering what you could create with all those paper towel or toilet paper tubes you randomly decided to start saving. They have potential, right? Well, we’re glad to inform you your hoarding tendencies are going to provide you with an AWESOME decoration you’ll be able to leave up through Thanksgiving. Woot, woot!
Allison, from A Glimpse Inside, created this super cute DIY Fall Garland Tutorial. We love the versatility of this eco-friendly decoration. It’s easy to make, plus you can even keep it out as part of your Thanksgiving decorations! Sweetness.
Flowerpot Pumpkins
You probably have some dusty terra-cotta pots lying around in your garage. If so, then you’re in luck! But even if you don’t, they’re fairly inexpensive to buy. With some paint and a little time you can easily create an eco-friendly Halloween decoration that’ll get used each year. The best part about creating a flowerpot pumpkin is that it’s kid friendly!
