When it comes to Halloween, you do not have to spend a lot of money on decorations when you use your imagination. Of course, one of the main highlights of Halloween is the pumpkin. Buy a couple of them and download some of the free Halloween stencils online to use as your design. Cut off the top of the pumpkin, scoop out the inside, and mark with permanent marker. Cut out as usual. If you decide on a certain character for your pumpkin, you can use clothing that the character wears and fill it with crumpled newspaper. Tie the ends of the clothing together to hold in the newspaper and display your pumpkin on your lawn. A small table can be used to hold the pumpkin in place.
