Dried-out water jugs can quickly become glowing pumpkin lanterns. Clean and dry the jugs, then mark on them with a marker some spooktacular jack-o-lantern faces. On Halloween evening, insert battery-operated tea lights and use them to illuminate your porch or edge your walkway with trick-or-treaters.

Helium balloons are great floating pumpkins. Inflate orange, white, or black balloons and draw jack-o-lantern faces using a broad-tip marker. Tie them to chairs, porch rails, or weights for a simple and enjoyable display.
