Here are some of our favorite Halloween decor ideas that are perfect for the outside of your home.
You can also try simple DIY projects like these:
Floating Ghosts – Create spooky floating ghosts using balloons, cheesecloth, and glow sticks. Hang them from trees or porches for a haunting effect at night.
Pumpkin Totem – Stack painted or carved pumpkins on top of each other to make a fun, towering pumpkin totem for your yard.
Witch Hat Luminaries – Hang glowing witch hats from tree branches or porch ceilings. You can insert LED candles or string lights to make them shine at night.
Spider Web Entrance – Use cotton batting or stretchy web material to drape across doorways or bushes. Add some large plastic spiders for a creepy look.
DIY Graveyard – Cut tombstone shapes out of foam boards, paint them gray, and write spooky inscriptions on them. Place them around your lawn with skeleton hands popping out of the ground.
Creepy Eyes in the Bushes – Cut out eye shapes from cardboard, paint them with glow-in-the-dark paint, and place them in bushes or trees. They’ll look like eerie eyes watching in the dark!
Skeleton or Witch Silhouettes – Make silhouettes from black cardboard or plywood. Place them against fences or walls to create a shadowy, spooky vibe.
Most of these projects require a few simple Dollar Tree or craft store materials, and you can make them in an afternoon.
