The year we decorated our porch with strips of Dollar Store plastic tablecloths
I loved the way the streamers draped and flounced and flared in the wind.
The trick or treaters loved walking through the "curtains" too,
except for one little girl who refused to even step into our yard. lol
I made the floating flying bats out of painted foam meat trays and curly wire.
So this year when we decorated the back deck with lights we wanted to add
streamers but didn't want to fiddle around with cutting plastic tablecloths into strips.
Then we remembered that we'd used old VHS tapes
to make a huge spider web in the yard.
Off we go to the thrift store where we picked up this tape for a quarter.
So, faster than you can say, "You're a streamer, Harry!"
we had totally awesome, easy and thrifty Halloween decor
that looks creepy and cool!
It was so EASY.
We tied random lengths of tape to the strung lights around our deck
and we LOVE the way it came out. A cloudy sky and little breeze
made the shiny tape streamers look crazy spooky!
The tapes looked so cool that now we're discussing using them
for some creepy costume ideas.Think how awesome a witch outfit would look
with dozens of these tape streamers flowing around it?
Or a Dementor from the Harry Potter movies?
Or a Nazgul from Lord of the Rings?
Just picture this with MUCH MORE tattered streamer action!
This could be so much fun!
Grab yourself some old VHS tapes and
go wild with your Halloween decorating!
