| Halloween Front Entry |
The front door is always a
great place to decorate for Halloween since the kids come to the door to trick
or treat. I wanted it to be lighted for nighttime viewing and also be
sufficiently decorated for daytime enjoyment.
First I added alighted
garland around the door with some spider webbing over the top part of the door
and half way down the sides. I hung two scary foam spiders in the corners,
using fishing line, one on each of the door.
In the right corner beside the door is a witch
that I purchased at a garage sale for $1.00. It was a great find.
On the left
side of the door, I used a small two-tiered stand with pickets. One of the
pickets has a birdhouse on the top of it. On the top shelf I placed a lighted
pumpkin, a stuffed little pumpkin girl, and two small pumpkins still attached
to the vine On the bottom shelf I placed a boy and girl scarecrow with a mum
plant next to them. I wrapped some Halloween fabric around the base of the mum
planter. Then I placed a small pumpkin light in the ground behind the mum.
Finally I added some grapevine around the back of the pickets and down the
sides along with some orange lights.

On the door I hung a
Halloween wreath that says – BOO. To create this wreath, I purchased a wreath
at a garage sale for 50 cents.

Next I cut strips of black fabric about 3 inches
wide and wrapped them around the wreath securing each one with a straight pin.

After it was completely wrapped, I cut strips of fabric from fabric called Creepy
Cloth from the Dollar Tree.

I tied them around the wreath one at a time
securing them with a knot. Since the fabric was woven, it gave texture to the
wreath.

I purchased ribbon from the
Dollar Tree and made a bow and attached it to the bottom.

I purchased wooden
B-O-O letters at A. C. Moore. I attached them to wooden skewers that I had
spray painted black.

Lastly, I added a glow-in-the-dark spider to the wreath. It welcomes all the trick or treaters to the front door.
