Affordable DIY Halloween decorations

Every October I try to come up with super easy and cheap decorations we can do as family to get ready for Halloween. It is so much fun for all of us to come up with different ideas.

Here are a few of our favorites.

* (Specimen jars) Jars filled with colored water and spooky toys like rats, dolls heads, or bugs.
* (Terrariums)  Save those glass jars all year and make some creepy spider filled jars by using spider web string from the store, twigs and dirt from the yard sprayed black and some toy spiders.
*  (Apothecary store) Fill decorative glass containers with yummy fall colored candy.

Have fun with it and come up with ideas as a family, we usually spend $5 or less on each idea and the time spent doing the craft is priceless!
