How do you hang Halloween decorations?

Halloween is a perfect way to use your DIY skills to make your own decorations and hang them. These tips will help make sure your Halloween decorations stay up through the scary season, from hanging scary lights to ghouls and goblins, and provide a fun thrill for your wee guests who are trick-or-treating.

1. Use Zip Ties. If you hang a lot of strings of bright orange lights, then spend a few bucks on the zip ties kit. They come in a range of colors and sizes. Match the color to whatever you are securing them to so they are more discrete.
2. Duct Tape the Cords Down. Ideally, you want to keep the extension and power cords off roads, hallways, or anywhere individuals travel. But sometimes it's unavoidable.
3. Get a Light-Hanging Pole. Before you hang strings of lights in those trees in your front yard, you’ll need a light-hanging pole. It eliminates the need for a ladder, and you can still get the lights on the high branches. This is a convenient and safe way to hang lights, that won't put you at risk of falling.
4. Support Heavy Props. With those ghosts, skeletons, witches, and zombies, you'll get the most scream for your buck by hanging them from trestles or awnings and letting them blow in the chilling October breeze. Just be sure to support their extra weight. One smart way to do this is to use the fishing line, which is strong, easy to work with, and invisible at night.

Why do we decorate for Halloween?

You’ve probably noticed that Halloween decorations have seen a definite uptick in recent years. The decorations in our neighborhood were restricted to jack-o-lanterns on front porches when I was a child, and maybe the odd skeleton or creepy spider web. Now, it's not rare to see whole black communities with ghosts, mock graveyards, and even Halloween decorations. How have we come here?

Let's take a look back at the fascinating past of Halloween decorating. The history of Halloween itself can be traced back thousands of years, to the Samhain Celtic Festival, celebrated at the end of the harvest. During this time, the Celts believed, the spirits of the recently deceased could return to menace the living. Celebrants would light bonfires and dress in frightening costumes in an attempt to confuse the spirits and ward them off.
