School\u2019s back in session, Fall decorations are out, and Halloween is just around the corner. If you\u2019re looking for fun DIY Halloween projects, estate sales are where it\u2019s at. First of all, what\u2019s creepier than walking around a dead person\u2019s old house looking at a dead person\u2019s old things? Not much! <\/p>\n
But estate sales are also great places to score crazy deals on vintage props you can incorporate into some snap-worthy Halloween decorations. We scoured Pinterest for our favorite DIY decor ideas \u2014 using only items you can find at your nearest estate sale. If you do end up trying some of these crafts, show it off and post a pic in the comments below! <\/p>\n
Happy (spooky) estate-sale-ing!<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n There is such a glut of glass that estate sale companies can hardly give it away. Turn ordinary glass into spooky apothecary bottles to set the Halloween scene.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Old books live on as art objects in this mood-setting fall wreath.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Bring back the 1980s with this vintage Halloween mask wreath.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Estate sales are great places to find mirrors. Find a cheap one you can transform into a haunted hallway vignette.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Run-of-the-mill household candle sticks to some, but to others with more spirit, these make excellent crystal ball holders. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n You may not have a bunch of cloches lying around, but estate sales usually do. Cloches are great for creating all sorts of ghoulish dioramic scenes.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This is a neat DIY trick to use with cheap vases you can find all over estate sales.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n For parties or decor, these festive wine glasses are easy to transform.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n In case you didn\u2019t know, creepy dolls are everywhere at estate sales<\/a>. Use them as props or chop their tiny heads off and stick them in jars to frighten trick-or-treaters.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n These pretty much win the Internet! But instead of raiding your kid’s toy box and scarring them for life, pick up vintage Barbies at estate sales.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n You wouldn\u2019t want to use your own boots for this fun Halloween decor idea, but you can pick up some vintage lace-up boots at an estate sale to recreate this witchy table.<\/p>\n2.
