Halloween Window Decor

2. Spider Web Window
Ahh… the creepy spiders! We can’t miss this one when it comes to Halloween because there’s no such thing as a spider-free Halloween. Sticking branches and cotton wool is all you need to make this web covered window.
3. Silhouette Window
Silhouette happens to be cheapest way to decorate the window. You just need cover the window with a sheet of orange paper or any color of your choice. This first piece gives the orange color when the room light is switched on. It also provides cover for the shaped paper that will be glued on it later. After that, cut out certain spooky shapes like zombies, witch, feral cats and other spooky stuffs and stick them onto the orange paper. You can use newspaper for this.
Alternate idea.
Reuse your unwanted black cloth to make a scenery with your windows. If your window is large enough, it’s actually a great idea. This gives the illusion as if a witch inhabited your house and is making her potions.
4. Following Spooky Eyes
These eyes don’t just glow! They actually give the effect as if they’re following the person who watches it. The secret lies on how the eye is being made. The outer eye is spherical with a cutout for the eye-shape. Inside the cavity is the pupil which is dome-shaped. This gives the illusion that it appears round from all angles. You gotta checkout the source link below for the full tutorial. It’s very interesting!
5. Zombie Window
The zombie window is made entirely with cardboard. You just need to spray it black for the hands. Checkout the source link below for tutorial.
6. Blood Written Window
Write your spooky messages on the window glass with red marker pen – “No candies” or something like that. It looks like blood and easy to cleanup. Just remember to use erasable marker pen.
Alternate idea.
Another way is to paint a wax paper with red paint and cover the window glass with it. That should keep some kids from trick-or-treating at your house.
7. Silhouette Curtains
This art is similar with the Zombie window above but it’s using cloth instead. The cloth is painted with dark paint to create the silhouette effect. What’s nice about this is that it actually sways with the wind – creating the illusion of movement.
