The pumpkins are just fabric wrapped around toilet paper and paper towell rolls. I added some batting so they looked a little more plump, but you don't have to. Just cut out a square of fabric, fold the corners up and stuff in the middle of the roll. Then shove a stick in the top and you are good to go. You could also add leaves if you want to. I usually do but just haven't found any yet. The original pumpkins I saw actually used fall fabric. You could use Halloween fabric as well. There are a lot of possibilities.The picture frame I got from my sister. She just found a plain wood frame with a mirror in it. I am pretty sure you could find them at any craft store, or even Walmart. She then ripped up scrapbook paper and modge podged it on the wood. Then she embellished with ribbon and buttons and such. The round things that say BOO are actually clear "rocks" that you get at the craft stores to fill vases. I am always excited when Halloween rolls around so I can pull this frame out. I just love it! Here are some other ones she made.
This pumpkin jar we made in Relief Society. You just spray the jar with a glass primer and then paint it. You could also put cut outs for the eyes and mouth on the jar and then spray with the primer. That way you could put the candle inside and it would shine through the cut outs. It could also be painted like a witch, ghost, candy corn, etc. Pretty much whatever you wanted. You could use different jar sizes and make a little candle arrangement.
This idea is also from my sister. She leaves her three Christmas trees up all year round and decorates them for the season. I just thought it was so cute with her Halloween decorations and the ghosts. She just drapped cheese cloth dipped in liquid starch over balloons (or whatever you want as the shape) to make the ghosts. She put wax paper underneath them and put the balloon in a cup to hold it up while they dried.
Anyway, those are some fun Halloween decoration ideas.
