Simple And Spooky Decorations

Whether you are decorating your house for a Halloween party or just looking for a way to dress up your door for trick-or-treaters, you don't need to spend a lot of money or time on decorations. Pinterest is a fabulous way to discover easy DIY decorations for Halloween.

Front door mummy

Halloween decorations don't have to be elaborate or expensive to be totally cool. With some white crepe paper, you can turn your front door into a fun mummy. We have seen this front door mummy pinned dozens of times on Pinterest. Go to the original source and get a step-by-step tutorial from Dina at Honey & Fitz on how to make your front door festive for Halloween.

Pumpkin wreath

Wreaths aren't just for Christmas. You can create a beautiful wreath for any holiday. We adore this pumpkin wreath created by Sarah from Thrifty Decor Chick. Check out how she hangs the wreath on her patio, but it's so beautiful it could go anywhere at your home -- indoors and out.

Halloween mantel

Deck out your mantel this Halloween with everything from pumpkins and gourds to spooky spider webs and scary ghosts. We love the spectacular Halloween mantel put together by Michelle at Something Sweet Designs. This amazing mantel is perfect for All Hallow's Eve.

Spooky door decor

You don’t need much to decorate your front door for Halloween. With paper plates, crepe paper and a few other items that you probably already have around the house, you can let a fun monster or silly spider take over your front door. Check out these door decorations and other Halloween fun from Amy at Living Locurto.

Candy corn centerpiece

Colorful Halloween candy can become a key element in your decor for your Halloween party. Set up a candy station with different types of candy in clear jars or vases. Another idea that we spotted on Pinterest is to use candy corn, vases and branches to create a spooktacular centerpiece.
