Thrifty Halloween/Harvest Decor

• Decorating with squash that will later be eaten, check.

• Reusing glass jars to decorate with candy corn, check.

• Three ears of dried Indian corn that I decorate with every year, check.

•  Switching out regular pics in frames with Halloween pics from last year, check.

• Cutting up Lil J's orange and black treat bag from the hubby's work picnic to fill two of the frames, check. 

• Printing free Halloween subway art from Eighteen25 to fill the big frame, check.

• Drying Chinese lanterns from the farmers market to put in a canning jar with black beans as the filler, check.

• Making pom-pom garland from yarn I already had, check.

• Repainting an old sign I had made to say "Happy Halloween," check.

• Finally making a yarn wreath* (just bought the yarn and foam tubing to make the base, used fabric/ribbon/hemp scraps that I already had for making the yo-yo flowers and embellishments), check.

So friends, how do you like to decorate for the Halloween/Harvest holiday without breaking the bank?

*I drew inspirations from all around Pinterest for my yarn wreath...I looked at so many I can't give credit to anyone in particular! I will say, though, I totally used the pinning method I learned about from this ribbon wreath from Landee See Landee Do (so that I can reuse my wreath and the decorations down the road, nothing has been permanently glued on or attached).
