Simple and spooky window decorations.

Here is an easy, fun and environmentally friendly project for Halloween. It can be as elaborate or simple as you want. My favorite part of this project is how every item you make will be unique to your home.

The items you will need for this project are:

Tape- I used masking tape, because that was all we had

Scissors or some type of blade to cut through cardboard

Cardboard-careful this stuff gives the worst paper cuts

Tissue paper-to block a little light out from window

All you need to do is get your piece of cardboard and either trace the outline of your design out or freehand it…we were feeling brave so we skipped the tracing and went for it.

Trace and cut out whatever shapes will enhance your design. We kept it simple and did a Jack-O-Lantern so all we had to do was cut out a few triangles and a jagged mouth.

Once you have things to the point you think it will work, hold it up to see how it looks in your window. It's really nice if you have an eager kiddo to help you.

Tape it to your window and cover any parts of the window that are not covered by the cardboard with your tissue paper. 

The hardest part was waiting until the sun went down to turn the lights on. We had a great time standing in front of the house and checking out our spooky window.

When it's time to take it down you can either save it for next year or send it off for recycling.
