Halloween is celebrated only one day a year, but that is no excuse for not decorating our houses with terrifying decorations and enjoying a great night of fear with friends and family.
To create a spooky scenery on Halloween, it is not necessary to spend so much money in stores, we can make most of the decorations with materials that we have in our home.
This is how we also take advantage of and welcome the artist that we carry inside, we share with our family and friends while we do crafts.
Decorative Halloween decorations are not only pumpkins and ghosts, you can also play with creativity and take advantage of materials that we usually have at home and do not use frequently and build life-size cardboard coffins, youtuber Leyan, teaches on his channel, the best way to do it.
