Before breaking out the recycling bin, think outside the box – or rather, the tin can. With some creative preparation and a little bit of Halloween spirit, these ordinary containers transform into an extraordinary addition to your porch decorations.

Once frozen, poke holes in the metal to craft a spooky message or design that will be sure to send shivers down the spines of trick-or-treaters. Next, give your cans a coat of paint in a color that screams ‘boo!’ and you’re ready to add some eerie ambiance to your porch display. The classic combination of tin cans and candles remains a timeless tradition for Halloween decorating, but with these icy-cool decorations, you’ll be the talk of the town.
