Overview

Decorations are home and yard decor (office, bedroom, etc.) that stand alone. Whether you’re hosting a haunted house or preparing for trick-or-treaters, we want to see you get spectacularly spooky with your décor this year! A fog-breathing werewolf, haunted Lego mansion, or portrait with eyes that follow guests around the room — these ideas just scratch the surface of what’s possible when you enlist the magical combination of your imagination and DIY skills. Creating a fun, immersive atmosphere for youngsters and oldsters alike is the goal. So share your Halloween decorations for a chance to win an Apple iPad Air. All winners will receive a limited edition Instructables Halloween T-shirt!

If you are confused about what qualifies as decor, here is the definition we are using.
