Entryway Decorating Ideas for Halloween

Got a ho-hum Halloween house? The entryway decorating ideas presented in this Better Homes and Gardens video will pump up the impact withour damaging your home’s exterior:

Scare up a door with a wreath. Grab a critter-filled wreath at your local craft store or make one yourself. To hang, loop extra-wide ribbon around the top and discretely tape the ribbon at the door’s top edge. A wreath should hang right where your eye goes – about a quarter of the way from the top of the door.

Tie a few hooting owls on posts. No nails needed – use ribbon to wrap the lightweight forms to keep them in place. Add black painters tape above and below the owl so trick-or-treaters can see from the sidewalk.

It doesn’t get easier than decal stickers for a quick entry enhancer, and you’ll pay just a few bucks for more decals than you will use in a year.

Orange pumpkins are expected. Black, white and gold pumpkins pop off the sidewalk. Just prime your pumpkin and paint with craft paints. Use painters tape to create stripes and a letter stencil for words, or just pencil in the words first, the paint. Plan for 10-12 pumpkins for your walkway, which allows for a few pumpkin clusters on the steps in a display that spans out a few feet from your door. The more tightly gathered your pumpkins, the bigger the impact.

With these clever Halloween decorations, your house will be a neighborhood hit!
