2013 Easy and Quick Indoor Halloween Decorating Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Even with just a few days till October 31, it's not too late to decorate. Pumpkins from the grocery store, leaves from the backyard and a few things around the house can transform a table or mantel into Halloween central.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOyO48yZXR_eBXNBTyjUU1MlDds6D1RZXI0MGUMrzjpxaR2nVCJUByJXACEQyxIVgJIlbkOq-qgzP2nDQIrRGvj23V01yFKUtJoyZpPc8Zv2Hr9V58dFz-m5jiBgDt5vdsoDPj-AjUiHs/s640/2013-Easy-and-Quick-Indoor-Halloween-Decorating-Ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><b><span style="color: orange;">Family Portrait in Pumpkins Forget carving. </span></b><br /><br />Forget covering the whole pumpkin with paint. Just add a circle of leftover chalkboard paint to one side of each pumpkin and draw on some funny faces (anyone you know come to mind?). Do the family, a group of friends, your pets or even Mr. Jack-o'-Lantern himself.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA8MrRY_uhPIYI8VQpZuyUmvWNp99fLW_4KVXSQl4Sv2j0mupQqppqee2eJgnhDzH_7_ppPAW82Pt_s0ae4sdx0S9lJcvG5YhTAQv3PITjrd3_at_a0jbXmsPLPZWnhclgB654rx9FIbA/s640/2013-Easy-and-Quick-Indoor-Halloween-Decorating-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span style="color: orange;"><b>To make your own pumpkin family portrait: </b></span><br /><br />1. Select pumpkins in a variety of shapes. Look for smooth sides without too many blemishes or deep ridges. Wash and dry your pumpkins thoroughly.<br /><br />2. Paint chalkboard circles with a paintbrush an inch or so wide. Apply at least three coats of paint, allowing the paint to dry completely between each coat.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtQkQS2gLOOSXjZJifz_2zNr5I1XwYNGamFozT6jByRzGk7JKpVEcYkZaww6QdVTRYYiotk6KR8eiL6q6WAJjFoHUbu2TnTlpuZoa05bhqmLQogXhjeRRuGhgdyWzHpjO1HT6_GHz1Fx8/s640/2013-Easy-and-Quick-Indoor-Halloween-Decorating-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />3. Rough up the end of a piece of chalk before drawing on the pumpkin. The square edges of a fresh piece of chalk can scrape off the chalkboard paint. If this happens, just touch up the scuff with more paint.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcEMkiD_m6GDe9DXDQNLYrDH03vYFJABfadwqHFtpPU_QACm9JGZE7rQSNj2h_axDITM7byM1JP_EMTWdQ8bqSqYNlfATbzWLcgIMVTG_pXkXbhAI7sZsuN9yQ8APD85Q5HDyZio_2kmI/s640/2013-Easy-and-Quick-Indoor-Halloween-Decorating-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><br />4. Erase any goofs or smudges with a damp paper towel. You can also completely erase your faces and try different people, hairdos and expressions.<br /><br />5. Finish off your scene with grocery store mums and a vase of twigs and leaves, and candles if you like. (Don't leave candles unattended, and be sure to keep wicks well away from leaves.)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeiRESFFIZxaYpk25OjHzmQEejnwq6DlmoPMvTOjQG1gWIt8YdSe65OtbbLAAD_AZA87cw41nuWcEEdrvcXBXo-xcASlesBYu-1Dz-qG2ztRJsKVXG3jukcP0PV7thSedcoVaPxaok5kU/s640/2013-Easy-and-Quick-Indoor-Halloween-Decorating-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSpqaj9QJ2IZUXAbczDFx62JH3Jko2AHQ5nYC44zDsNAfsaDtZu3KovtFjmwzSCkuChwr9XuD81kEGSWFH9ggvsFVUeKFcQq-4WHW-ag1wB08I_M8atEN7qXqwkwd1cGzqtFc_avCDfjk/s640/2013-Easy-and-Quick-Indoor-Halloween-Decorating-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /></div>
