This an inexpensive and simple tree to decorate.
This Celebration Tree was super easy to put together because I got all the ghost pictures, ghosts, and the glowing BOO sign from Target. I got these things back in August, so now’s the perfect time to start hunting for Halloween decorations!
Instead of filling the tree with numerous traditional ornaments, I opted to use several inexpensive ghost signs and decorations throughout the tree. The glowing BOO sign introduces a delightful burst of color, while the silver mesh effectively distributes the purple and blue glow throughout the tree.
Shopping List
| Item | Where I Found It | How I Used It |
|---|---|---|
| Framed Ghost Halloween Signs | Target | I tucked several small framed ghost pictures directly into the branches. Using a few different designs makes them look almost like oversized ornaments and gives the tree its playful ghost theme. |
| “Hey Boo” Ghost Decoration | Target | This small ghost adds another fun focal point and helps fill the space between the framed decorations. |
| Light-Up BOO Sign | Target | I placed the light-up BOO sign near the center of the tree where the purple and blue glow could become the main focal point. |
| Large White Ghost Decoration | Target | The larger white ghost works almost like an oversized ornament and helps balance the smaller ghost decorations higher on the tree. |
| Silver Decorative Mesh | Dollar Store | Instead of tightly wrapping the mesh around the tree, I made loose loops and tucked sections into the branches. The metallic finish also reflects the light from the BOO sign. |
Budget–Friendly Tips:
Don’t feel like every decoration has to be made specifically for a Christmas tree. Small signs, tabletop decorations and lightweight Halloween pieces, that may be cheaper, can easily be tucked or wired into the branches and used as oversized ornaments. Target’s seasonal Halloween section is a good place to look for these types of inexpensive pieces.
Keep an eye on the Dollar Store’s seasonal Halloween section because similar ghost decorations are often available.
