There are hundreds of Halloween props that you can use to creatively decorate your yard or porch, haunted houses and Halloween parties. These Halloween props can range from string lights in the form of bats to tombstones, body parts, hanging ghosts, fog machines, and even animatronic figures that will move and groan and add a frightening sense of reality to whatever scene you create for this favorite holiday.
If you are going to do some Halloween decorating, you should be careful to make sure that your arrangement of Halloween props are safe and secure. Everyone, from children to adults, has fun at Halloween, but accidents happen and people can still be needlessly hurt by simply not taking the proper safety precautions when decorating. This Halloween decorating guide is here to give you some useful tips to help you have a safe and happy Halloween.
Many of the Halloween props sold on the market today implement the use of electricity in order to add the appeal of lighting, movements, and other effects such as sound. Naturally, if electricity is required to provide power to a Halloween decoration, there will be a cord involved.
When arranging your Halloween props, pay close attention to where the cord is located. Ideally, it should be hidden away where it won't be seen. Do not just leave a cord to dangle, or cross a path and impede people walking by. And never place a cord where water, punch, or other liquids can gather and pool.
Most people like to hide their cords, and use a variety of tools to do so. Moss, sand, fallen leaves or mulch are popular. While these can be decorative, they are not always safe. Hidden cords can still be tripped over, so be careful where you put them.
When using Halloween props such as fake spider webbing and items that move, it is important to avoid placing these items in an area where individuals may walk into them or be caught up on them. Halloween costumes often flow as an individual walks and many are larger than the wearer, so it is important to be alert to the fact that some costumes may become caught up on decorative webs and even animatronic Halloween decoration items that move.
These are not, by any means, the only Halloween props that can be a hazard for people wearing costumes. Halloween decorations such as lit candles are also highly dangerous. This Halloween, consider using battery operated lights or LEDs rather than the traditional candles in your pumpkins.
If you follow these safety tips with your Halloween props and decorations this year, you should have plenty of fun and no accidents, this year. Happy Halloween!
