How to Decorate Indoors for Halloween

Draw simple features onto inflated balloons with permanent marker; choose an assortment of geometric shapes that are easy to create freehand.
Shadows are emblematic of Halloween: dark and fleeting, and always lurking a step behind you. But decorating with them is impossible -- at least without black magic -- so use some black paper and a little craftiness to make silhouettes, and you'll get the next best thing.
How do you expect spiders to swarm on those clean windowsills? You need to set bait. Place small votives inside larger ones, then spin your spiders a glowing web.
No need to bait your home with bugs to attract a scary swarm of bats like these; all that's required is tissue paper and a pair of scissors. Cutting the strings of shapes won't drive you batty, since the paper comes accordion-folded in its package. With black tissue paper, you can craft bats, cats, rats, or witches; orange makes great pumpkins, and white is perfect for skulls and ghosts.
Use a pumpkin incense burner to suggest the cozy scent of pie just out of the oven.
