During the month of October, many doors and rooms on campus decorated with cobwebs and spiders, but there are other options. Here are some tips on how to have the best (and spookiest) dorm decorations on your floor.
Keep your glass bottles. They can easily be reused to make a simple, glass ghost decoration piece. After you finish your delicious drink, clean it out and remove the label. Cover it in some white spray paint and use a black marker to draw on a face, and you have yourself a ghost! Add some lights or orange straws to the glass to make the ghost pop out.
Don’t want a mess that comes with decorating a pumpkin? Think outside the box! Wrap some lace and ribbon around the pumpkin, add some stickers or use a marker to draw your favorite design, all without the clutter and gunk of pumpkin carving.
If you have some paint on hand, find some rocks outside! Paint yourself some little monsters to live in your room. Use a sharpie to be more precise with the details, such as the mouth or any sharp teeth. Stick some googly eyes or draw some on these guys and you have yourself a scary rock group!
For door decorations, Party City sells giant door covers for around four to six dollars for a quick, easy and
big door decoration. A big trend for door decorations this year is the mummy door. To create this, you need a lot of toilet paper or streamers, felt or big googly eyes and a lot of time and patience. For a true
mummy look, make sure there is no door space and that it is filled with the white streamers or toilet paper. At the end, put in the eyes using the felt, but make sure they are peaking out of the wrap you previously made.
For simple Halloween decorations, save some toilet rolls! Cut some scary eyes into them and place a glow stick or some lights in the tube. Cover both ends of the tube, and you have made glowing eyes! They are a quick fix for emergency decorations.
For spooky window designs, Halloween Express carries some inexpensive yet unique thrillers. Starting at twelve dollars, you can put up wood boards or screaming faces to scare those looking at your window. Hang up some fireproof rope lights and your room will be the spookiest room in the building.
Halloween is just around the corner, so don’t procrastinate. Start working on your ghostly room now. From CVS to Walmart to Halloween Express, almost every store is in the Halloween mood. Are you?
