Enhance the spooky atmosphere of your front porch this Halloween with our simple-to-make outdoor decorations.
Come and be enchanted by this charming, mystical farmhouse porch. This concept blends traditional autumn features with spooky Halloween details to craft a stunning, eye-catching setup for the season. The standout feature? A collection of black witch hats perched seemingly in midair, creating a magical illusion.
The Happy Bride and Groom
Surprise your neighbors with these amusing life-size posable skeletons for Halloween: it’s a ’till death do us part scenario for this romantic pair. Add a budget-friendly veil, artificial flowers, and a top hat, and you’ll have the most adorable (or creepiest?) couple in the neighborhood.
Eerie Entry
In this eerie and playful Halloween setup, two twisted, dark trees stand on either side of the front door. The bare trees are enveloped in an enigmatic amber light, casting a mysterious glow, while traditional black lanterns holding white pillar candles light up the pumpkins and mums arranged beneath them.
Not Itsy-Bitsy
In preparation for a spooky transformation, Amanda Campbell, a blogger from The Ginger Home, purchased large spiders from Amazon and Party City. She then attached them to her house porch in Alberta, Canada, using slender finishing nails. Although the project was relatively straightforward, she faced a small obstacle: “While setting up, our beagle, Ollie, continuously played with the spiders!”
Witchy Planter
Scare trick-or-treaters from a distance with this inverted witch planter. To create this project, you’ll only need a large planter, two pool noodles, striped stockings, and old black boots to lift the witch off the ground.
Trick-or-Treat Greeter
A scarecrow wearing a bandana greets neighbors with a charming, tilted smile on the porch of this farmhouse. Marigold mums and two small pumpkins complete the cheerful scene.
Gaint House Spiders
Instead of traditional Halloween decor such as pumpkins and scarecrows, opt for something out of the ordinary to astonish both trick-or-treaters and passersby. Crafting these large spider decorations is quick and easy, and once you get the hang of it, you’ll have massive spiders scattered all around your home.
