Halloween is one of the most fun holidays of the years, but it can also get expensive. That is why I opt to go for cheap Halloween decorations you can DIY versus buying new. Plus it’s more fun!
How much does the average person spend on Halloween every year?
According to a study by CIT Bank the average person was set to spend $80 for Halloween in 2017. Of that, about $21 was spent on party décor. To make that $21 go as far as possible, you need to do it yourself.
Here are 11 DIY Halloween decorations that look awesome and won’t break the bank.
