Fun-tastic Ways to Decorate Your Home for Halloween

Oct. 28, 2010 — -- Is the costume party at your place this year?

Halloween parties can be loads of fun and they don't have to cost a lot of money.

Sarah Gray Miller, the editor-in-chief of Country Living magazine, visited "Good Morning America" today to answer some of your last-minute questions about the clever, easy and inexpensive ways that you can decorate your home for Halloween. Here are some ideas:

Q: How can I make the ambience extra festive?

A: You can costume even the people in the painting and photos that decorate your home. You can transform portraits by adding paper masks that you can make using construction paper, scissors and low tack artists' tape. Add the mask -- or you can make fangs or horns -- to the photos and voila: Everybody's part of the festivities!

Q: How can I make the coolest pumpkins on the block?

A: Do pumpkins with flame cut-outs. It's a new spin on pumpkins. Carve the pumpkins at the bottom and add a battery-operated votive candle at the base, then gather a few of them and create a rip-roaring scene in front of the fireplace.

Supplies: Funkins -- pumpkins with flame cut-outs -- are available at Michael's craft stores for $10.99 to $24.99

You can get battery-operated, flameless candles for about $7 each at Bed, Bath and Beyond or any Home Goods store.
