3. Hit up the thrift stores and garage sales.

This is especially perfect for Halloween, in my opinion. Sometimes OLD is just plain SPOOKY! Be sure to check if your thrift stores offer special discount days or coupons... you can never be too thrifty. And rummage those garage and estate sales! One woman's trash is another woman's treasure.

Paint thrifted wine glasses to create a spooky centerpiece.

Spray paint thrift store pumpkins for a whole new look!

Make your own witch potion bottles by thrifting various glass bottles and jars and paint them black and add labels.

Turn those thrifted sweaters into adorable sweater pumpkins for fall! I love these.

And there you have it! Now I am in the mood to decorate for Halloween... how about you? I hope you've found this week's tips helpful. We'll see you back here next week for Must Have Craft Tips & More!Must Have Craft Tips & More!
