DIY Halloween Decorations: Life-Sized Skeleton Bartender
INDOOR HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS
I love Halloween! It’s my favorite holiday! Have I made that point clear yet? It’s the most wonderful time of the year. So every year when a new batch of fun Halloween decorations premieres, I am super excited to see what I might be able to snatch up (if I wait until November 1st for the clearance).

This year, my particular Halloween decor obsession is a Skeleton Statue from Grandin Road. The snag? It’s $500! No clearance sale will ever make that affordable. So I decided to make my own. He’s not as sinister as the original, but I think he’s great nonetheless.
GOTHIC HALLOWEEN STYLE
If I had to put a name to my particular style of Halloween decorating, I guess I would call it “Gothic”. I like very neutral but realistically macabre Halloween decor.
Since we throw Halloween parties every year but we also move a lot, it’s important to me that our Halloween decor remains neutral enough to work in any home we buy. It’s also important that I’m able to use the same serving items and seasonal decorations over and over again throughout the year.
To keep my Halloween home decor cheap, I tend to mix antiques like silver serving trays and bowls in with items I’ve handmade from thrift store finds or the Dollar Store. My general rule is: If I can use it year-round, I’ll spend a little more. If I can truly only use it during the Halloween season, it should cost less than $20 (or $5 for small decor items).
