Hope you have a spooktacular day!
After the day of fun and festivities is over, what do you do
with the leftover decorations? Besides
throwing them away or reusing them again next year, is there anything else you
can do?
Well….here are 5 ways to inspire you to recycle your
Halloween décor.
1. Repurpose those cheap plastic pumpkins into
pretty planters. For inspiration and the
“how-to”, check out these sites: EclecticallyVinatage.com, ConfessionsOfAPlateAddict.com, DollarStoreCrafts.com

2. Give your Halloween candles and luminaries a new
life after the fun is over by reusing them in craft projects, holiday
centerpieces of as a light source during a power outage.

3. Those thin flimsy Halloween tablecloths ideally
meant for one-time-use are perfect reused as a drop cloth for your next DIY or
paint project.

5. Transform life-size ghouls, black cats or other
paper hangings into festive paper flowers!
All you need is paper, glue, scissors, stem wire and floral tape. Here are a few sites that
