It explains that people cut out simple shapes like black cats and made paper bats, witches, and jack-o’-lanterns, then later adopted store-bought items. The passage highlights German papier-mache lanterns shipped to the United States, scarcity that drives collector prices, and a shift outdoors using glowing pumpkins, skeletons, and light or inflatable figures.

Back in the early 1900s, families made their own decorations from colored paper. Stores sold party books that showed how to fold, cut, and hang paper bats, witches, and jack-o'-lanterns. A room decorated this way looked like a burst of orange and black paper, and it did not cost much at all!  \nThose paper cutouts were fun, but some Halloween decorations came from  \nfar across the ocean. Long ago, workers in Germany made lanterns and figures out of papier-mache, which is paper mixed with paste until it hardens like a shell. They shaped orange jack-o'-lanternsand other party pieces by hand and shipped them all the way to the United States. Today those old German pieces are so hard to find that collectors will pay a lot of money for just one!  \nBecause store-bought decorations were fun to collect, people wanted more and more of them each year. Little by little, families stopped decorating only inside and began putting decorations outside too. They set glowing pumpkins on porches and hung paper skeletons on front doors for everyone walking by to see. So Halloween grew from a small paper craft into a big yearly event that neighbors could enjoy together.  \nOnce decorations moved outdoors, people found a new way to make their yards stand out: light. Today many houses glow with light-up pumpkins, ghosts, and huge blow-up figures that puff full of air with a fan inside. According to a National Retail Federation survey, Halloween is one of the most popular holidays for shoppers in the United States. It is funny to think that all of this began with a child, a pair of scissors, and a simple sheet of orange paper!  \n The History of Halloween Decorations Name:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What did families use to make their own decorations in the early 1900s?\u003Cbr>A.
