Bedding
I always start off with bedding - sets the theme, it’s reusable yearly, and so functional! I got my hands on Peanuts sets for $20 at HomeGoods, TJMaxx and Marshalls!
This one was my first choice if I didn’t get my hands on the Peanuts brand at HomeGoods. For boys, Halloween color scheme is pretty difficult to find in quality sheets.

Bedtime Classics - books
Another functional and reusable way to decorate on a budget - use books! Our boys love all our Halloween books. We’ve read all 3-4 times on repeat now and we’re actually adding to the collection.
Here’s what we have and why they love them!
This story is adorable - it’s almost like how every kid feels. Trying to fit in, noticing what they can’t do compared to everyone else. Until one day they learn what makes them different is what makes them special.
The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt
Rough day? Sometimes it’s easy to say everything just makes us upset until a great friend reminds us we don’t hate everything, we’re just dealing with some grumpiness.
Whether it’s DIY-ed or store bought, the best way to add a spooky touch to wall art, picture frames is to layer some garland.
Here’s some diy friendly materials and some store bought ones!

After the functional pieces, use some accent decor (optional) but definitely adds to complete the theme
Pennants are a great way to add decor in a wall without hardware.
