Halloween is fast approaching and people all over the world are getting excited for the spookiest day of the year. Getting involved and creating a fun and frightening environment for your office can boost spirits and morale within your teams, and it doesn’t have to involve expensive decorations. Here are some tips for decorating your office on a budget.
Flying Bats
All you need is a pair of scissors, a printer and some images of bats from the internet. Print them off, cut them out and stick them onto walls and doors around the office to give your colleagues a fright. You can also use a hole punch and a bit of string to hang the bats from the ceiling.
Create a Spooky Crime Scene
Use tape or chalk to create an outline of a body on the floor, douse some old bits of clothing in fake blood or food colouring and some homemade cardboard cones to mark evidence to create a spooky crime scene in your office.
Amputated Hand Treats
Fill gloves with sweets, tie them off at the wrist with an elastic band or bit of string and place them around the office for your colleagues to discover. You could even add a bit of red paint or food colouring to add to the effect.
Ghoulish Garland
Create paper garlands with string and orange and black card. Cut out simple circles or go all out and trace and cut out ghoulish shapes such as ghosts, spiders and demons. Thread them on to some string, and hang them from the ceiling.
How About Some New Desk Accessories?
If you wanted to go all out you could try some red, black or orange office accessories and stationery to go with your spooky decorations:
- Notebooks
- Desk tidies
- Letter trays
- Lever Arch Files
- Staplers
- Scissors
- Pens
Almost all office stationery is available in Halloween appropriate colours that wouldn’t look out of place at any other time of the year either.
