In our hectic lives, we all need quick and easy ideas to bring the spooky mood into our home. However, Halloween decorations shouldn't necessarily be expensive and time-consuming. Find out below how you can make your own unique decoration, even at the last minute, and that doesn't just mean the obligatory jack-o-lantern.
Decorate the pumpkin with a mop head
One of the easiest ways to make fun Halloween decorations, even at the last minute, is to decorate a pumpkin. Especially if handling sharp knives is not one of your favorite activities, but you don't want to miss out on the traditional symbol. Then all you need is a real or artificial pumpkin, a mop head (not used) for the hair, hot glue gun and white and red paint for the eyes and mouth. If you're using a real pumpkin, it's best to seal it with a spray to make it last longer. Once completely dry, attach the mop head to the top using the hot glue gun. You can cut the threads to the desired length beforehand. And voilà, you have the perfect ornament for your garden or patio.
Sweet DIY spirit
This cute ghost can be made in no time with just a few materials, but creates the best atmosphere for Halloween. To do this you need a glass, an LED lantern, mop head, a witch hat and some black fabric for the eyes and mouth.
Simply place the glass on the table and insert the lit LED winter light into it. Turn the mop head over so the strands hang down and place it on the glass, covering it completely. You can attach it with hot glue, but make sure the lantern remains accessible. Then just add the hat, cut out the nose and eyes from the black fabric and glue them on.

Make your own Halloween gnomes
For a cute gnome that you can hang on the front door now, as it is also perfect as an autumn decoration, you need two replacement mop heads that you should tie together. Then make a hat out of cardboard, cover it with another fabric of your choice and add the appropriate decorations. Let your creativity run wild and use colors and details that create the best Halloween atmosphere.
