.....Most of the people involved in
making Halloween decoration plans, whether it is hired professionals or not,
insist on including a graveyard on the yard. This is however not a must to
achieve the goals of decorating the yard for the occasion. It is sometimes good
to deviate from the norm in coming up with the
Halloween decoration ideas for the yard because it will most likely make
your yard stand out and thus draw attention.
.....It is understandable why people
would choose to include the graveyard in the yard given that it is in the
nature of human beings to fear things connected to or that involve death; but
too much of the same thing is sometimes not exciting. This obsessive fear that
we have for graves is usually reinforced by the movies we watch where we see ghosts
rising from the grave yard to kill people and so on. There are however some
things that you can actually do to achieve the same effect that the grave yard
has on people when it comes to Halloween
decoration ideas for the yard.
.....One the other Halloween decoration ideas for the yard
you can use for your yard is making tree ghosts of various dimensions. Having
tree ghosts in your yard can be really interesting and scary at the same time
if done properly. The advantage of using these hanging tree ghosts is that they
are usually simple to design and that one can achieve the eerie effect by
simply using tools that can be found around the home.
All that you really need is a
garbage bag, preferably white in color, and a ball of some kind. The next thing
that you will have to do is to place the ball, which might as well be mad of
paper or clothing, into the head of the bag and then tie it with a rope or a
rubber band. You do this in such a way that the ball sort of forms the head of
the ghost while the rest of the white garbage bag remains hanging.
.....You then draw on the head part of
the garbage bag a face with a permanent marker. It is important to experiment
using different colors of markers to make it even creepier. You may also make
it a perfectly scary yard if you drew different facial expressions on the
ghosts such that some seem smiling, others laughing while others to literally
look dead! You can then put them all over the yard with the ghosts in different
postures.
.....You may also experiment with putting candles at various places in the yard
and topping it up with some scary soft music like the soft ringing of a church
bell which is sometimes associated with funerals. This is just one of the many Halloween decoration ideas for the yard that
you can use.
