halloween ghost decorations for indoors and outdoors

There are two months left before the scariest holiday of the year, and if you are looking for some inspiration for decorating your home for it, here it is! Ghosts are an indispensable part of any Halloween, and rocking them in outdoor or indoor decor is a great idea to create a proper atmosphere for the party. I’m sharing some cool decorations you may rock anywhere, and most of them are easily DIYable, with just a couple of simple materials, even no skills are required. Let’s get started.

Indoor Ghost Decor

Add some spooky and funny ghosts to your indoor spaces to make the party cool! They can be made of cheesecloth or white sheets – use some wire or coat hangers to give them a shape, attach eyes of black fabric. You can make some ghosts of shredded trash bags or tape and attach them in the corner or to the wall. One more idea is ghost dolls – if you can’t make them, just buy some, they will look gorgeous! Make ghost lanterns of mason jars, or go for some doilies or lace ghost-like figures. Ghost arrangements can decorate your fireplace, mantel, table or food station. Combine ghosts with skulls, skeletons, witches and other Halloween-inspired things to achieve a cool effect.
