MT PLEASANT, Mich., –– It’s almost Halloween! Did it slip your mind to decorate your desk at work this year? Fear not, it’s never too late to spookify your office, desk, or work space with easy last minute DIY Halloween decorations. Try some of low-maintenance ideas that will impress your co-workers and will surely help you win the office decoration contest!
Balloon and Streamer Spider
This one is a classic! You’ll need a black balloon and
streamers to pull this creepy crawler off. First, start by taping the black
streamers to an elevated surface (the ceiling even works!) Remember to give
them a tiny bit of slack to make the legs seem realistic. Then, blow up the
balloon and tape it to the middle of the legs. You can even glue some googly
eyes on the spider if you want to give him a little more personality!
Jack-O-Lantern Faces
Use colored paper, paper plates, streamers and other any other crafts you may need to create a jack-o-lantern, ghost, or monster face on any of the surfaces (doors, walls, cabinets) in your office.
Paper Bats
The same idea as paper snowflakes! Fold black construction
paper in half (hamburger style) and trace half of the bat on the paper with the
middle of the bat being on the folded edge. Google some cartoon bat images if
you need some help in the artist department. Then cut out the bat. The fold
even make it seems as though the wings are flapping! Make a number of these and
tape them so they appear to be flying up your wall.
Milk Jug Ghosts
Wash out a used milk jug for this ghoulish decoration! You
can use black construction paper and tape or just a marker to craft the eyes
and mouth of your ghost. Then, cut a small hole in the back of the jug,
allowing you to place a battery operated teapot candle or run old Christmas
lights through it to illuminate your new spectral desk-mate. Also, we recommend
making him a couple of friends as well. These guys look spookier in groups!
P.S. You can always substitute paper bags for the milk jugs
if you have them more readily available.
Printable Skeletons
For those of you who really want to go the path of least
resistance, we suggest using a printable skeleton template. Print this guy off
and cut him out to make a bone-chilling decoration that will have your
co-workers marveling at the craftsmanship.
Use anything from split pins to tape to connect the bones.
We hope our last minute DIY office Halloween decorations ideas help. Also, when in doubt, just put out a bowl of candy. That tends to be a crowd pleaser.
