What can I do to decorate my car for Halloween? We’re doing a trunk-or-treat at my church and I want to make my car look festive!

Decorating your car for Halloween is a fun way to get into the spirit of the season! Fortunately, you can decorate your car on the cheap, quickly and easily.
Here are some ideas you might try:
  • Buy some fake cobwebs and wrap up your car. To make it even more spooky, add a fake spider on top!
  • If your trunk will be open, make some fake teeth out of cardboard and attach them to the trunk opening using masking tape. You can even add fake blood or make some eyes out of cardboard to attach to the trunk, too.
  • Make some cat ears out of cardboard and/or felt and tape them to the top of the open trunk with masking tape. Then, make some cat whiskers out of pipecleaners and tape them to either side of the opening of your trunk.
  • If you don’t mind
    cleaning out your trunk
    after trunk-or-treating, try filling your trunk with straw bales and pumpkins to create a portable pumpkin patch. Lay down a tarp first to make cleanup easier.
  • Even if you don’t have a van, you can still decorate your car like The Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo! Attach foam flowers, text, and stripes using magnetic tape to avoid damaging the paint.
  • Hang some green streamers from the ceiling in the back of your trunk, then collect some stuffed animals to create a fake jungle. Bonus points if you dress up like a jungle animal, too!
No Halloween costume is quite as scary as your car breaking down. That’s why the
