Decorations

🎨DIY

Halloween is the perfect time to get creative! Instead of buying new, why not make your own decorations?
• Turn empty glass jars into spooky lanterns.
• Cut bats out of old egg boxes.
• Make creepy spiders from scrap paper plates.
It’s a fun way to reuse materials and give your recycling a second life.

🍂Go Natural

Bring the outdoors in! Autumn is full of natural treasures that make beautiful decorations without creating waste.
• Collect colourful leaves to scatter across your table.
• Use pinecones, twigs, or branches to create spooky centrepieces.
• Tie a bundle of sticks together to make a rustic broomstick.

When Halloween is over, you can compost your natural decorations so nothing goes to waste.

🎃Decorate Your Pumpkin

Instead of carving your pumpkin, try decorating it! Not only will it last longer, but you can also cook and enjoy it afterwards. Hubbub has some brilliant ideas to get you started – check out their tips

🌍Shop Sustainably

If DIY isn’t your thing, choose decorations that are built to last. Go for reusable items instead of single-use ones, and think about how you’ll store them so they stay in good condition for next year.
