Spooky finds @ JOANN

You guys, I totally get the excitement of stumbling upon Halloween decorations when it's not even fall yet! My first trip to Joann for their spooky season collection was absolutely mind-blowing. It's truly the best time to snag those unique pieces before they sell out, and definitely before the last-minute rush. If you're planning your ultimate Halloween setup, here's how to make the most of your Joann haul and make your space truly stand out. First off, the sheer variety of skeletons is incredible! I saw everything from classic full human skeletons, perfect for posing dramatically on your porch or draped over furniture, to smaller animal skeletons that add a quirky touch to any shelf or mantel. Don't just grab one – think about creating a whole skeletal family or a fun graveyard scene. Pair them with those awesome large skull figures I spotted, maybe even some decorative books labeled 'SPELLS' and 'CURSES' for an extra eerie library vibe. The possibilities for creative displays are endless! Beyond the bones, keep an eye out for the one-of-a-kind items that really elevate your decor. That coffin-shaped doormat with 'WE'RE DYING TO MEET YOU' is pure gold for greeting trick-or-treaters and setting the mood right at your doorstep! I also loved the framed moth art and hanging bat ornaments – subtle yet super spooky additions that can fill empty wall space. For lighting, those glowing white ghost-shaped LED table decorations are a must-have for a soft, eerie glow, and the black glitter trees add a touch of dark elegance to any indoor display. And seriously, who can resist those larger-than-life Halloween porch sitters like stacked pumpkins and skeleton figures? They really make a bold statement in your yard or entryway. But Joann isn't just for ready-made decor. This is where your inner crafter can shine and customize your spooky season! If you see a theme you love, like the black boots or pumpkin-themed items, consider how you can expand on it using their extensive fabric and craft sections. Grab some spooky-patterned fabric to make custom throw pillows, table runners, or even a unique costume for yourself or the kids. Think about using their paints and glitters to customize plain pumpkins or even adding a DIY touch to those white skeleton figures to give them personality. They often have craft kits that can inspire your own creations, too, from wreath making to creating your own spooky signs. Don't forget to check out their yarn for knitting or crocheting some creepy-crawly embellishments or a cozy spooky blanket.

I noticed there were already 'GREAT SALES' happening, so you can often get fantastic deals even before October hits.
