Zero Nightmare Before Christmas Prop Standard

Product Information

Maybe you were that kid who had an amazing parent or grandparent to help you realize your unique costume dreams. Now you get to be that person – to make costumes for kids or for yourself! If cost and space is an issue, choose plates and napkins that are made of paper or other natural materials and provide a labelled compost receptacle. Avoid items that are labelled compostable but have linings, as they are typically meant to be commercially composted, and most waste facilities do not have the infrastructure to actually compost them. Be sure to provide reusable cups, or request that guests bring their own cups to avoid throwing away hundreds of plastic cups. For foil wrapped candies, provide a labelled bowl or container where guests can deposit the wrapper for recycling. Attending events

Gourds are generally grown for decorative purposes only, so those you can just compost when the time comes. They offer a magical and whimsical feel to the white pumpkins above, but they can also great a spooky element (especially when they are on at night) and part of displays like this twig garland or this DIY haunted pumpkin patch. There you have it—my list of the best zero-waste Halloween decorations!
