Got plenty of jack-o-lantern decorations hangin’ around your house?  Need a new decorating idea?  The Joys of Home blog has two very unique ones.

Grab some old books and create some Harry Potter-like books of spells or potions or magic as explained in Spooky Reading. I’ve already got plenty of dust on my bookshelves to add to the ambiance these books give.

After you’ve finished making your books, try your hand at making some Halloween Orbs. I like that you use a paint marker to write on the balls. I’m not very deft at writing with a paint brush. I think my non-crafty hands could easily whip a batch up of these little critters in no time at all.  How about you?
