Continuing on with my inexpensive diy Halloween decor mission, my front door has been magically mummified using good ole fashioned crepe paper streamers. This might just be the easiest and cheapest DIY ever.
Remember these? They made an appearance at every birthday party I attended between the ages of 4 and 14. 4 rolls set me back a whopping $0.68 here.
I cut two circles out of white printer paper and then two slightly smaller ones out of some black contact paper (yup, I still have contact paper left after all this). Black construction paper would work just as well.
Then I proceeded to wrap...and wrap...and wrap. I used double sided tape to keep each strand in place. (TIP: Make sure you mix up the direction of the crepe paper strands and do lots of overlapping.)
I had lots of excess from each strand that extended beyond the door.
I tore all that excess off and taped down the edges with some clear packing tape.
And now my trick-or-treaters will be greeted by a friendly front door mummy. For less than $1.00, I'm pretty happy with how he turned out!
