As the nights grow cooler and longer, it can only mean one thing \u2014 spooky season is here! For some hardcore Halloween fans, they may have trotted out their decorations back in August. But don\u2019t worry! There\u2019s plenty of time to get your house all tricked out for fall. So, whether your vibe is cutesy, creepy, or somewhere in between, we\u2019ve scared up some great ideas for decorating your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Frightfully Festive<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Take<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo Prints<\/a> \u2014 We\u2019re always looking for cool ways to use our photo prints and Halloween is no exception. One freaky fun idea we saw was DIY haunted portraits. First, print out several black and white portraits of your family. Next, cut out the eyes with an X-Acto knife. The holes should be about a 1\/4-inch diameter. Then, grab an old frame, remove the glass, and insert the photo. Now you can insert red LED lights where the eyes would be. How scary is it that everyone has glowing red eyes? Try finding a battery-powered string of lights so you can place your photo display anywhere in the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want something a little less creepy, check out this cute Halloween costume banner idea. First, print out a series of black and white portraits and attach them to string or twine. Next, cut out colorful masks, wigs, hats, and other costume ideas. Now dress up your photos with a fun disguise. Pro tip: use your 100 free prints credit from the Snapfish App<\/a> to print out all your photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posters<\/a> \u2014 Large prints + posters are perfect for decorating doors and bedroom walls. Print out a poster of a haunted mansion, wicked woods, or a cursed cornfield with a scarecrow. You can also print out silhouettes to hang in your window! Perfect for black cats, skeletons, and creepy crawlies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Photo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Floor Mats<\/a> \u2014 Our indoor floor mats are perfect for decorating an entryway or play space for the kiddies. Some fun ideas for designs are ghosts, black cats, or jack-o\u2019-lanterns. You can even use fang-tastic phrases like \u201cWitches welcome\u201d, \u201cTrick-or-treat, wipe your feet\u201d, or \u201cCome on in for a spell\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terrifying Tables<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Placemats<\/a> \u2014 If you\u2019re looking to dress up your dining room table, we\u2019ve got just the thing \u2014 placemats! For playful patterns, check out our new fabric placemats<\/a>. We have three Halloween-themed designs<\/a> already created: Halloween Party, Trick Or Treat, and Scary Bat. If you prefer to design your own placemat, you can personalize both our fabric<\/a> and laminated placemats<\/a>. Need ideas for a design? Try a spine tingling spiderweb pattern or recreate your own Ouija board. Bonus points if you use plastic spider rings as napkin rings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coasters<\/a> \u2014 There\u2019s nothing scarier than stains on surfaces! Protect your table from drips and spills with our custom photo coasters. Sold in a set of 4, you can design something spooktacular for your family or guests to use. Skulls, monsters, and pumpkins are always in style for the season. Feel free to add a funny phrase to your coasters like \u201cBoos goes here\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinkware<\/a> \u2013 October is a time for apple cider, hot cocoa, and spiced lattes. Make sure you\u2019re using an appropriate mug for the month with our cool collection of designer mugs! We have six Halloween-themed designs<\/a> to choose from: Witch\u2019s Brew, Spooky Pumpkin, Spooky Night, BOO, Trick or Treat, and Eat, Drink and Be Scary.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Make<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thinking of using drinkware as d\u00e9cor? Try this neat tip we mentioned in our grad party blog<\/a> \u2014 with a Halloween twist of course! Personalize photo mugs<\/a> or water bottles<\/a> with an eerie graveyard scene. Next, fill them with sand. Now\u2019s the fun DIY part! Print out ghostly figures and secure them to long sticks. When you stick them in the sand, it\u2019ll look like the ghosts are flying out of the graveyard, making for a frightful centerpiece.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creepy Kitchens<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Customised<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cutting Boards<\/a> \u2014 Don\u2019t forget to decorate the kitchen! Create a cutting board that features festive food like pumpkins, caramel apples or candy corn. Perhaps you want something a bit more frightening? Use a design with a monster or other kooky character. You can even add custom text with a scary sentiment that says, \u201cSlash Here\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photo Trivets<\/a> \u2014 Since you\u2019ll be cooking up lots of goodies in the kitchen, make sure your countertops are protected from hot pots and pans. Why not design your own photo trivet with witches, pumpkins, or black cats. Make sure to add fun phrases like \u201cPlace cauldron here\u201d or \u201cNo tricks, just treats\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Personalize<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tea Towels<\/a> \u2014 Make sure dishes and hands stay dry with our personalized tea towels! Create your own Halloween-style towels with dancing skeletons, wicked witches, or ghouls. Add in your own custom text that reads, \u201cSpirits served here\u201d, or \u201cSomething is brewing\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Vamp<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photo Magnets<\/a> \u2014 Your refrigerator needs something fun, too! Create photo magnets of the kids in their costumes from last year. Make sure you make multiples so the grandparents can have them for their kitchen as well. Just slide a couple in their Halloween cards this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enchanting Embellishments<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Check<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve decided which products you want to personalize, don\u2019t forget to add some frightening flair! Once you\u2019re in the project builder you\u2019ll be able to add Halloween embellishments to your creation. Just click on the \u201cEmbellishments\u201d tab and choose Holidays > Halloween. Here you\u2019ll find pumpkins, spiders, witches, fun phrases, and so much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, remember to create a photo book<\/a> of all the Halloween fun you had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
