On the night of October 31 to November 1, the souls of the dead descend to earth, witches and sorcerers perform Sabbaths and terrible rituals, receiving huge magical power from the dead. To avoid becoming a victim of dark forces, traditions dictate dressing up in terrible costumes as characters from scary movies. To ensure that sorcerers and witches avoid your home, you should carefully consider its decor and place amulets that will protect your home and its inhabitants.

However, even if you are not superstitious, these DIY Halloween Decorations ideas will help you create something special to embellish your home for the holiday!

There are many symbols associated with the Day of the Dead, and skeleton is one of them. It symbolizes the dead who have lain in the ground for a long time and risen. The creepy, bony monsters walk confidently and quickly, unlike zombies, bringing terror to everyone around them.

Useful Tips: Skulls on garlands and paintings are often used as hanging decor for a room or office. They look ominous, although in some images you can also see cheerful skeletons. These are more suitable for decorating a children's party, while scary and bloody monsters are more appropriate at a party for adults.
