The decorations we propose can be preserved and reused the following year, or they can be composted. It is very important to try to avoid everything that is disposable as much as possible, especially on those anniversaries that fall once a year. If you prepare your decorations yourself, you will save money and you will be able to take the opportunity to recycle some materials that are already in your possession. It will also be an unmissable opportunity to involve the little ones and make them have even more fun!

Bats
You can easily make bats by recycling cardboard and cardboard of boxes, cartons and packs of different types. You will help your children to cut out the silhouettes of the bats. They will then think of painting them with markers or tempera. They can be used to decorate doors and windows, to make festoons or to be hung in the garden or at the gate of the house on Halloween evening. A nice idea is to make your own bats out of egg cartons.
Monstrous silhouettes
Still recycling cardboard and cardboard, but also old magazines, it is possible to create monstrous shapes with the technique of collage. Ghosts, witches, monsters, skeletons. There is no limit to the imagination, just think of a scary silhouette to cut out. Choose dark colors for your silhouettes, which you will apply to windows of your home. The effect from the outside, when you turn on the light, will be surprising and frightening.
Pumpkins as lamps and flower boxes
The entrance to your home can be decorated with the classic pumpkins, a symbol of Halloween. If you have steps at the entrance, you can alternate between lanterns and planters made by emptying pumpkins. You will end up with pulp and pumpkin seeds in large quantities, which you can use to prepare numerous recipes both sweet and savory. When your pumpkins have finished their decorative function, do not throw them in the unsorted waste, but use them for your compost.
Garlands of leaves
You can use the fallen leaves in your garden to accomplish garlands with which to decorate your front door, gate or porch. You can make them by adhering the leaves to wire supports. Complete them by decorating them with colored ribbons, twigs, pine cones, chestnuts, cinnamon sticks and with everything that your imagination suggests, as long as it is recyclable.
Flying ghosts
You can make ghosts by recycling sheets or delle plastic bags white. Make the ghost's head by crumpling old newspaper sheets. Insert the paper ball into the plastic bag or sack you created with a sheet. Use some string to tie the sack under the ghost's head. Paint eyes and mouth of the ghost with a marker. Hang your ghost outside so that the wind can shake it and make it "fly". Alternatively here the tutorial to create ghosts with crumpled paper and balloons.
