Is your front porch lacking in the Halloween department?
It’s easy to lose track of time to decorate for the holiday, but you don’t want
your house looking unattractive to trick-or-treaters, right? After all, the
more trick-or-treaters you have, the less candy you’ll be left with (oh, darn)
when the night is over—so recruit the kids and try some of these fun Halloween
decorating ideas from HGTV.
Cat Pumpkins
This one is super easy. Grab some medium sized pumpkins,
black paint, a white Sharpie, craft foam and a hot glue gun. Paint the pumpkins
black, cut out black ears, pink nose and white whiskers out of foam, and glue
them on. Spooky.
Cookie Cutter Pumpkin
Carving
It’s as easy as it sounds. Dump the tarp, various blades,
and impossibly difficult stencils. After you gut the pumpkin, grab your
favorite cookie cutters like ghosts, cats, stars and moons, and use a rubber
mallet to make your way through the pumpkin. Done!
Pumpkin Totem
Head to the store and grab the following: 3 faux pumpkins of
the same(ish) size, black craft ribbon, black and white acrylic paint, a paint
brush, and a glue gun. Take your first pumpkin and set it on the ground. Take
the middle pumpkin and cut a hole in the bottom and place it over the first
pumpkin’s stem (we’re stacking here – following?). Do the same for the third
and glue the pumpkins together. Next, grab that ribbon and paint and create fun
faces.
Trash Bag Spider Webs
Chances are, no shopping is needed for this easy decoration
if you have black plastic bags, scissors, and Scotch Tape on hand. Making these
involves quite a bit of folding a cutting, so here
is the full set of directions.
Do you have any other fun and easy ideas to share?
