Decorating for Halloween can be tedious but equally fun. Be it with spiders, skeletons, pumpkins, or candles, you can either DIY these decoration items or simply buy them. However, creating them is a fun way of celebrating the process with your family and learning a few things along the way. Did you know that you can turn frames into spooky Halloween decorations?

If not, well, here comes some knowledge. There are numerous ways to use old or new frames for Halloween decoration, and most of them are easy and not at all time-consuming. For instance, you can make haunted mansion signboards, skulls and bones protruding, paintings, silhouette portraits, and wreaths with the creative use of frames.

Just take an old or new empty picture or mirror frame. Paint or spray it in a choice of colors. If you are leaning toward some eerie elements, you can use skulls and bones. Take a pair of skeletal hands and glue them in a manner that portrays someone trying to pull themselves out of the frame.

If you want something fun while keeping in theme with Halloween, create a wreath with a choice of materials, like a witch wreath or a fall wreath. You can explore several other ideas, depending on your creativity and imagination. Here are some inspirational ways to use frames for Halloween décor. Have fun!
