Materials

• Halloween hanging decorations such as signs can be made from wood, ceramic or plastic. Items designed to hang from a ceiling or tree are generally lightweight and made with a wire or plastic frame with a simple covering. Balloon ghosts and plastic bat-shaped spinners fit this category. Halloween window clings are designed to stick to glass surfaces such as windows or mirrors without adhesive and are made from vinyl.
  
  

Display

• Show off your Halloween style by hanging spooky signs on or near doors, or hang signs on a tree in the yard or garden. Bats and ghosts can be suspended from a tree limb or the ceiling using fishing line for a free-floating appearance, and vinyl window clings can be applied to any non-porous surface for instant spooky style.
