Hi I'm Heather with SaveOnEnergy.com, here with another tip on living the green life.
If your family is anything like mine decorating your house for fall means more than just putting
a couple of pumpkins on the front porch. Here are a few ideas on making your decorations last
beyond this Halloween and for seasons to come. Everyone wants to have the scariest house
on the block, but if you buy poorly made decorations the scariest part could be how short-lived
they are. When you're at the store, make sure you're buying sturdy materials. That way they'll
be resistant to all the fall elements they'll be subjected to. As long as you store them
in a dry place during the off-season, they'll last year after year. But you don't have to
buy decorations. It's so easy to make your own with materials you already have at home.
For example, you can make ghosts to line your walkway with balloons and white trash bags.
Or you can brighten up your yard with some ghostly jack-o-lanterns made out of empty
milk jugs. Have your kids draw faces while you use a utility knife to cut a whole in
the bottom for a light. These projects are easy for you and your kids to pull together.
As you can see, it's not hard to live the green life. We'll be back soon with more tips!
