Many American families enjoy celebrating Halloween but struggle to find cash for Halloween decorations. One way to save money is to use materials you already have around the house.

If old wooden pallets take up space in your garage or basement, you can repurpose them into scary Halloween decorations.

Weather-beaten pallets work even better as DIY Halloween decorations. They convey the desolate atmosphere of an abandoned cemetery or spooky haunted house.

If you need additional support, a wooden lattice or blanket ladder would work well. A wreath from Christmas or another holiday wreath could serve as an anchor point for signs or decorations.

Mixing different wooden structures creates a layered and visually complex Halloween landscape. Even better, this landscape is uniquely your own.

Examples of Easy DIY Halloween Decorations

With creativity and elbow grease, you can turn a pallet into a limitless variety of decorations. All you need are a few tools and accessories from a local craft store.

Break the pallet into planks and nail the planks together to create a coffin shape.

Add creepy crawlies like plastic spiders. Use a hot glue gun to anchor them in place with glue dots. Put the faux spiders in a flask or mason jar to make them look like specimens.

Use the individual boards of the ballet to create handwritten signs. You can make creepy slogans or signposts pointing the way to eerie destinations.

Paint faux flowers black or brown for an eerie but decorative look. Attach them to cut floral foam or attach them with floral wire. Fresh flowers that have wilted or dried out can also be part of your Halloween home decor.

Create Halloween monsters using garbage bags, old clothes, and filler material like leaves or newspapers. Wrap the bags in strips of white fabric to build a mummy. Alternatively, add a mask to create any fun Halloween character you want.

For larger decorations like skeletons and scarecrows, use the outer frame of the pallet as support. You can attach paper decorations and cobwebs with glue or double-sided tape. Place pillar candles on top for creepy Halloween lighting.

If you have several pallets or a large pallet, you can use the wood to create picket fencing and decorate the fencing with spiders, cobwebs, and snakes.

Create the look of Jack-O-Lanterns by painting the pallet boards with orange paint. Then, cut into them to create the eyes, nose, and mouth.

If you don't have the tools to cut the wood, use black paper and a little wood glue to add the Jack-O-Lantern face.
