Bat Halloween Decorations Last year was our first Halloween party and over all it went really well. The food was great and the company even better but I really slacked on the decor. :( My decorations were limited to just one room of the house. This  year I'm determined to carry the spoooooooky Halloween theme throughout the entire house. The cheapest (and most fun) way to accomplish that is by creating my own DIY decorations!
