Classic Country Halloween
Create a classic country Halloween vignette on your front porch by arranging hay bales, mums, pumpkins, and dried corn stalks around your steps. Fake spiderwebs add a not-too-scary touch.

Jack-o'-Lanterns in a Jiffy
Turn orange tissue-paper balls into proper Halloween pumpkins that can line your front porch. Simply cut facial features and stems from construction paper and apply to the balls with glue dots.

Batty Front Door
It doesn't get easier than this: Simply add felt bats to a natural twig wreath to give trick-or-treaters a friendly fright.

Festive Front Door
Even the DIY-phobic can make their porches a little more festive for trick-or-treaters by swapping in a new doormat and adding a fall-themed wreath, a bale of hay, and some faux hanging bats.

Pretty in White
Spooky black-and-orange decorations aren't your thing? Try this pretty alternative: Place white chrysanthemums and ornamental cabbage in cream-colored apple baskets on your front lawn, and surround with white pumpkins and gourds. (Note: For a similar look minus the danger, lanterns and jack-o'-lanterns should always be lit with battery-operated lights, like these LED votives.)

Bat-Filled Front Door
These felt bats are easy to make and ensure your house looks extra spooky. All you need to do is trace a bat shape onto a piece of felt and cut it out. Repeat until you have a swarm of them!
