Overview

Decorations are home or yard decor that stand alone (i.e., they aren’t part of your costume). How do you create a Halloween mood at your house or office? From cute to scary, we’re looking for all your homemade Halloween decor in the Halloween Decor Contest.

We’re giving away some ghoulishly great prizes from FrightProps, including pneumatic lid opener kits, motors, air horns, controller boards, gift cards, and much more. Plus, all winners will receive the much-coveted, limited edition Halloween Instructables T-shirt.

So what are you waiting for? Roll up your sleeves (or mummy bandages) and start decorating. Halloween is right around the corner…

Want to clarify what qualifies as decor? We’ve got guidelines!
