It is always fun to decorate your student apartment for the Halloween season. Taking it up a notch by creating your own decor can go a long way, especially if this is your first fall semester away from home. You can dress up your OCC on-campus housing with these easy DIY Halloween decor ideas.
Keep it Simple with Fall Foliage
There are times when less is more with decorating a space, and you can keep it simple in spaces such as the kitchen or bathroom with fall foliage. Adorn these spaces with yellow, orange, and golden flowers inside seasonal vases. If you are worried about allergies, you can always opt for artificial flowers.
Turn Plastic Cones into Witch Hats
If you are looking for a more hands-on project, use black spray paint to turn small plastic cones into witch hats. Finish it off with buckles made of construction paper or self-adhesive glitter, or you can paint the buckles onto the hats yourself. Place your witch hats in various spaces throughout your apartment.
Add a Little Humor with Silly Gourds
Gourds come in various shapes and sizes, and they are perfect for adding a little Halloween humor to your apartment. Use craft supplies such as googly eyes, pom-poms, and fabrics to create faces and accessories for your silly gourds. Then, place the gourds around the apartment to give your roommates and guests a chuckle.
