Decorating your lawn for Halloween seems more daunting than the occasion itself when you don’t have a lot of money to spend on the decorations.
Yes, you have planned a party or a small gathering on your lawn on Halloween night, you have to decorate the area to make the setting for the night. Outdoor settings usually have more work and are difficult to decorate for any event especially for Halloween when you see big props and scary animated stuff in people’s gardens.
But don’t worry, we are here to help you with your decorations so you can easily manage everything under your budget and throw a perfect Halloween night party.
Read below, some of our ideas for low-cost outdoor decorations for your parties or gatherings:
The best and most commonly used idea for outdoor Halloween events is making your graveyard on your lawn.
This doesn’t mean that you have to create graves all over the lawn but make a few graves with spooky texts on them and place some spider webs on the corners to give them a gothic look. A few graves on the corner of the lawn are fine and they are not costly.
The grave props are easily available in stores and they are made with skulls and rip texts on them and would make a perfect small graveyard on your lawn.
We all have played with wooden sticks and boards in our childhood, then why not use them in our Halloween decorations?
Take some wooden boards and try to cut them into a disordered figure with rounded corners to make it look like a ghost. After getting a shape, paint them white or in any pale color so that they look like a ghost.
For their eyes, you can either cut two small holes on the board while cutting or just paint the eyes on them and your wooden ghosts are ready to be placed on the lawn.
This ornamentation style is the eldest and most common on Halloween time.
You can hang garlands on your front door, main gate, or the trees or plants on your lawn. Garlands are an excellent option; you can hang multiple of them in different corners, as we mentioned here. Garlands for Halloween are made with dark-colored ribbons with scary skulls or faces on them and give a perfect Halloween look.
If you don’t want to use garlands or don’t like them, you can also go for wreaths and can buy multiple of them to hang on the doors and your trees. Both options are good for decent decorations on the lawn.
Stand-up sets are another great option for a decent Halloween decoration setup.
These stand-ups are wooden boards of medium size and have spooky and Halloween-themed text written on them. They are great for creating the look for Halloween on your lawn and they are easily placed at any corner.
You can buy these stand-ups individually or even in sets both of them are fine and you can also make them at home if you don’t want to spend money on them.
Yes, ghosts in tins sound weird but they look good when they are hanging on your lawn.
This is more of a DIY idea but it is very cheap and easy to make. Take some old tin cans from your kitchen cupboards and paint them white. Take some toilet paper and cut long strips of it and stick it inside the cans with glue. With black paint make the eyes of the ghosts and your tin ghosts ready.
You can hang your small cute tin ghosts on the trees and plants as well.
It’s an outdoor Halloween night event, so how would you complete your decorations without lights? If you have spent all of your budget and forgot the lights for the lawn, then we are here to save you from this trouble.
You can make your lights at your house for Halloween and they are very easy. Take some of your old glass jars which you don’t use and paint them in dark Halloween colors like purple, blue, red and green, etc, and place little candles inside these jars and they will become your colored glass lanterns.
You can also paint some funny or scary faces on them or you can paint ghost-like eyes on them as well. These homemade glowing jars are so beautiful that you can use them every year for Halloween.
Halloween string banners are easy and very simple for decor for your lawn.
They are big triangle-shaped cloth or paper banners to hang on your house or doors. They are big and are usually in orange and purple colors that will show a sign of a simple Halloween gathering at your house. They are very cheap and you can easily buy them from any nearby store for Halloween.
How can you think that we forgot about pumpkins when we are talking about Halloween?
Everyone has pumpkins on Halloween and we all place them inside or outside our houses. Place your simple or craved pumpkins on your lawn at different corners all in one place to make it a pumpkin family. The pumpkin family looks very cute and the kids love them.
You can have craved pumpkins with lights inside or you can paint your pumpkins as well into some scary faces or you can write spooky texts on them to be more creative.
Now you don’t have to worry about your Halloween night decorations because we have got you covered. All the ideas mentioned above are very easy to apply and super cheap, so your Halloween will be filled with amazing decorations.
