Start by covering your furniture with white sheets. Then use prepackaged stretchy cobwebs that are available easily during the holiday season. Stretch the cobwebs as thin as possible without breaking the strands, although a few dangling will help add to the effect! Drape the cobwebs across the corners of windows, in top corners near the ceiling, you can add a few to lampshades and across shelves too. Take down your good curtains, and put up some old curtains from a thrift store or garage sale. You can slash and tear them, they need to look ragged. You can also make them stained by soaking them in the bathtub with tea or coffee mixed into the water. Replace regular lights in the room with black lights or flicker candle bulbs, however the food area and bathroom should have more lights.
