Mask off the areas you want to remain unpainted, spray paint the pumpkins black, and remove the tape to reveal your design. Draw the outlines of block letters onto your pumpkins and fill in with black crafts paint; add polka dots to your pumpkins by carefully drilling holes with a cup drill bit. Make a black-and-white dotted pumpkin by applying black circle stickers to a white pumpkin. Use metal laundry tubs, barrels, or old chairs to give your fun pumpkin display varying height. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc5lO608jDkt0QTsan6NDdAfNgB45FrCfhBvyn-RedanSN_BBpmJXdwTLe96Wq9eLCsr7YUOFQ06Qp4jU89tbgeRpaTKgUsuzDUJtFvcz6xMiBSfZx3cFLqnKai86NQCDa4SV8asVRqfk/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc5lO608jDkt0QTsan6NDdAfNgB45FrCfhBvyn-RedanSN_BBpmJXdwTLe96Wq9eLCsr7YUOFQ06Qp4jU89tbgeRpaTKgUsuzDUJtFvcz6xMiBSfZx3cFLqnKai86NQCDa4SV8asVRqfk/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add jack-o'-lantern faces to a cute wreath for your Halloween theme door. Paint about a dozen floral pods with black acrylic paint. Adhere stickers or use a liner brush to paint cheerful (or scary) faces on several of the pods. Once dry, use double stick tape or a T-pin to adhere to a floral wreath. Settle the wreath in between pumpkins or hang with a thick silk ribbon. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcL4vRGo5p8IruYbxmHjNuyQoqorn24pzV2W2PMj0lOqgFY_PREDt3p9CIH05qUasUKQhVyNEuRIuzZ2pKBDoFYylYqZMygzwb2FIDUsWNAyKTFO9vq0GglxhqvQvYHiiHD_L6bf9zzuE/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcL4vRGo5p8IruYbxmHjNuyQoqorn24pzV2W2PMj0lOqgFY_PREDt3p9CIH05qUasUKQhVyNEuRIuzZ2pKBDoFYylYqZMygzwb2FIDUsWNAyKTFO9vq0GglxhqvQvYHiiHD_L6bf9zzuE/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Set a spooky tone this season with decoupaged plates displayed by the front door.

Spray one pumpkin with glossy black paint and the other with matte black paint; cover a few pumpkins with discarded book pages. Cut a few additional book pages and silver crepe paper into leaf shapes for contrast. Group several pumpkins into an oversize cauldron or pot. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0PVbqzNIgwKRA8b9CqSkdUYMtBvqeQHWZgzedgCB_wGnYrRQMsl2L74_JL865h-e2a1xzWiS4Hl_kC707fycCYIDcrIzAD0HcMMYoIMjsxmagSMPvjalXzmax30untivZ6UL74k7KuuU/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0PVbqzNIgwKRA8b9CqSkdUYMtBvqeQHWZgzedgCB_wGnYrRQMsl2L74_JL865h-e2a1xzWiS4Hl_kC707fycCYIDcrIzAD0HcMMYoIMjsxmagSMPvjalXzmax30untivZ6UL74k7KuuU/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Ever wondered what to do with those cute, inexpensive urns from the crafts store? With a simple coat of spray paint they become spooky Halloween decorations. Stuff cotton batting and blocks of crafts foam inside. Stick white branches into the foam as desired. Cut-out black bats, fabric leaves, black webbing, and a few creepy crawly spider accents complete the look. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvslOFmPJCTrSb53AY9IC0lqaWJgZDm0ukko8MZM56EoTkz4vxQxCLj_tZZLiePMvF3_Dq3rIlX0RBE7lxLZfJqBqPkuF1XA-uTbnq9I4LhBauVCgZ2u6ea6xoedW0HQ8ZrJ2yVHe3Fc0/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvslOFmPJCTrSb53AY9IC0lqaWJgZDm0ukko8MZM56EoTkz4vxQxCLj_tZZLiePMvF3_Dq3rIlX0RBE7lxLZfJqBqPkuF1XA-uTbnq9I4LhBauVCgZ2u6ea6xoedW0HQ8ZrJ2yVHe3Fc0/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If classic, not creepy, is your autumn decorating style, than use an elegant display of pumpkins to send a welcoming holiday message. Here, three pumpkins each one a bit smaller than the one below it rest on each other. Use a favorite font and stencil a message with spray paint or a paint pen. Trail some moss or other accent from the base of a tall planter or urn. If you stack the pumpkins away from a wall, insert a piece of rebar or a dowel from top to bottom to prevent toppling. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf-A8FPJOFsnHwQ_IVmOZRIMNZUFtrq7lw66ud89Hg7y0IG8Hq2fdNzoDrQALiY31QIl4J5VHo0uBoJzQJJqz0j2WYzCjws5dWZAy6A4E72pTkNwGfS5-l4ZY2WcvO74CTtxox9_Tpgfc/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf-A8FPJOFsnHwQ_IVmOZRIMNZUFtrq7lw66ud89Hg7y0IG8Hq2fdNzoDrQALiY31QIl4J5VHo0uBoJzQJJqz0j2WYzCjws5dWZAy6A4E72pTkNwGfS5-l4ZY2WcvO74CTtxox9_Tpgfc/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add a Halloween theme window covering to your front door to welcome the spooky season. Print two copies of our spider and web pattern, available below, onto white paper and enlarge to fit your window. Cut out the spider and web in two separate pieces to use as patterns. Trace the pattern pieces onto black construction paper, flipping the web pattern to use for the bottom of the window covering. Cut out the pieces, including the webbing indicated by the white within the web. Cut two rectangles from black construction paper to use as side pieces that join the top and bottom pieces, and cut yellow cellophane to fit inside the window. Tape the two web pieces, the two side pieces, and the spider to the cellophane, referring to the photo for placement. Tape the finished cellophane panel inside the window frame. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilfVIQRlizloBPKaXxQ5etfWkLEIu-O-67Z9I6-pFjhFON2Ao8WGUjui5H4TS2ZCtoFAGp4Lfrr9ELMHoLhHGuy6tQjBNwVDAuD2yOzBlrkHXLFyv_OtczN3TTAmQteTC1THcpbMsM448/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilfVIQRlizloBPKaXxQ5etfWkLEIu-O-67Z9I6-pFjhFON2Ao8WGUjui5H4TS2ZCtoFAGp4Lfrr9ELMHoLhHGuy6tQjBNwVDAuD2yOzBlrkHXLFyv_OtczN3TTAmQteTC1THcpbMsM448/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Skip the pricey holiday mats and make your own spider theme welcome mat for just a few dollars.

Wrap one skein of thick orange yarn (or two skeins of thin orange yarn) around a 12-inch straw wreath form so the threads lay neatly. Hot-glue one end of black rickrack trim to the back of the wreath form; wrap the rickrack around the form, evenly spacing the wraps and securing the trim to the back of the wreath with hot glue. Trace our spider pattern, available below, onto white paper and cut out. Trace the pattern onto black felt using a chalk pencil; cut out with a crafts knife. Position the felt spider in the center of the wreath, using straight pins to fasten the ends of the legs to the back side of the wreath.

Add black witch, cat, bat, and ghost silhouettes made of heavy paper to windows to increase the spooky ambiance. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUetJUgsLBwu7O6yVQhNDHexpm2lnK4ipVL-iWI5s_no6JlSdN-29FIkNY837CWcYaNvUG_9MAXVWBabMnWoiSX4kuAZ3IEc_m6phhV14iudRw_ST8B0DixHSE7lqR9xxb1b-tFx-xEfQ/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUetJUgsLBwu7O6yVQhNDHexpm2lnK4ipVL-iWI5s_no6JlSdN-29FIkNY837CWcYaNvUG_9MAXVWBabMnWoiSX4kuAZ3IEc_m6phhV14iudRw_ST8B0DixHSE7lqR9xxb1b-tFx-xEfQ/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Simple steps and easy to find materials transform planters, lanterns, and pumpkins into a scary-fun Halloween doorstep arrangement. Adhere cat eyes (search online for copyright-free images) with crafts glue to urn planters or other pots. Tuck twigs, leaves, or flowers into sand or plastic foam-filled planters. Cut pieces of orange cardstock to fit lantern panels and tape jack-o'-lantern face pieces (cut from black cardstock) to the orange pieces. Place them behind the glass panels to protect from wind and rain. Add a few pumpkins and voila: Doorstep masterpiece accomplished! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW97X1FtSyv2PewIqhE-GXzXFfmeNQTE4aUD4psLG7gAQOt0bOMoOYfK2W6ou2GXEhG9Aae79yZRTvIKJjLy9pMp-oJ8HqOZnEvj_ggxapNfzUR7pq9N4kxlrDCoh9WpcVHVHMtAc8XYk/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW97X1FtSyv2PewIqhE-GXzXFfmeNQTE4aUD4psLG7gAQOt0bOMoOYfK2W6ou2GXEhG9Aae79yZRTvIKJjLy9pMp-oJ8HqOZnEvj_ggxapNfzUR7pq9N4kxlrDCoh9WpcVHVHMtAc8XYk/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-14.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Embrace the spirit of Halloween in your front yard with this spider filled bonanza. Secure a skeleton to the ground with rebar; use monofilament to pose the arms.

Start with three long strips of tape, creating an off center X shape with two pieces and using the third to cut across the middle of the X, dividing your glass window into six sections. Starting at the center, add tape strips to each section until a web starts to take shape. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP36EimSWiQRHrDh8bvTb6dM4wIlOPcqhuFi_gsgH3oeTBa43foqcp-_vdpqpFD-C6c8XwuZPVwQXGRZSjj4qSCg4tcVUHy-L8Gxe-9L1460G-RP8ka3CIkUNBG_mcCntXEOlOt-DFBU8/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP36EimSWiQRHrDh8bvTb6dM4wIlOPcqhuFi_gsgH3oeTBa43foqcp-_vdpqpFD-C6c8XwuZPVwQXGRZSjj4qSCg4tcVUHy-L8Gxe-9L1460G-RP8ka3CIkUNBG_mcCntXEOlOt-DFBU8/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-16.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Symmetry is a wonderfully simple decorating tool to guide you in creating a seasonally beautiful entryway at Halloween or any holiday time. Here, two black feather wreaths, accented with long lengths of shimmery silver ribbon, dress up the towering front doors. Whimsical and not too spooky faux ravens beckon their own sort of welcome. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4mO9yqlL3opZ2B061gvgFMHadAzgFI39c1WFxDUOL1yhwtBPAnN3HNgsREFpaOSk2uKXnPVoB8u4FRar6sR-f8fSACazMAlWERBlTEEecoNNS27qsqZdehLfn11Z82KLVMdwu1rgiJtw/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4mO9yqlL3opZ2B061gvgFMHadAzgFI39c1WFxDUOL1yhwtBPAnN3HNgsREFpaOSk2uKXnPVoB8u4FRar6sR-f8fSACazMAlWERBlTEEecoNNS27qsqZdehLfn11Z82KLVMdwu1rgiJtw/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-17.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Go all-out on your outdoor Halloween decorating. On the stairs, welcome guests with tall lanterns wrapped in cardstock cut with faces, and situate among small pumpkins and gourds. Accent pillars with spooky planters, hang ghosts from the porch, and use tape to create black spiderwebs on your doors. As a final touch, wrap spare brooms with electrical tape for a cheap door side accent. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkRyjxCBUwec_KDJuF8r8MfGdBe8TqZVz_qhoaC4ROn1VmVhseKEO-ChjfhARRnKooudQxgKHIt9wDglRDlV49yZyJuzXGfkMzUi3GYw_vYNtlcOsTdzNmWCn4ErmrezLiA6r_9CZ7PZI/s1600/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkRyjxCBUwec_KDJuF8r8MfGdBe8TqZVz_qhoaC4ROn1VmVhseKEO-ChjfhARRnKooudQxgKHIt9wDglRDlV49yZyJuzXGfkMzUi3GYw_vYNtlcOsTdzNmWCn4ErmrezLiA6r_9CZ7PZI/s640/Halloween-2013-Entry-Decorations-Ideas-18.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Part frightful, part formal, this skull-adorned wreath gets its stripes from overlapping strips of felt. You'll need about 50 each of 10x1/2 inch pieces of black and white felt. Use straight pins to secure to a 14 inch straw wreath form. Print the free skeleton image, below, and coat with decoupage medium; let dry.

Here, inexpensive spider rub ons, stickers, and trims decorate white kraft bags. Fill the bottoms of the bags with sand and stagger on the stairs or along your front walkway. Light with battery operated votive candles and accent with a variety of pumpkins. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

When she’s not scouring the internet for delicious design inspiration, she’s shopping for home decor to spruce up her apartment, spending quality time with D'Artagnan, her adopted cat, and finding any reason to be outside. Her favorite design style: eclectic with a vintage, retro vibe.</div><div sizcache="137" sizset="153" style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div sizcache="137" sizset="153" style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">Don’t judge me when I say this: I didn’t carve my first Halloween pumpkin until I was in college. <em>GASP!</em> I know. Growing up, we were less into the pumpkin carving and decorating that goes into Halloween and more into the treats and dressing up. Now, pumpkin carving/decorating is a tradition for me, especially now that you can do more than just carve a silly grin across its face. (Chevrons and silhouettes, anyone?) Here are some cute, quirky and even sophisticated pumpkin-carving ideas to get your porch ready for Halloween.</div></div><div sizcache="137" sizset="153"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Parsnip and Carrot Pumpkin Family</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKifJlDQ7PgAXdmcmPjRQ9QehyphenhyphenRXZlw0c6SX7DBh5BuSNCMw6ge7BMcBSzMg0pFj-xKBWLoci1zJSVG-CK3xMsqebBYQmpcAqRgOrbWvQo05iNMubqSWGld5VmzpGOfYA3K8Mc3kJowRKE/s1600/Easy-Pumpkin-Crafts-for-Halloween-2012-By-Kayla-Kitts-from-HGTV-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKifJlDQ7PgAXdmcmPjRQ9QehyphenhyphenRXZlw0c6SX7DBh5BuSNCMw6ge7BMcBSzMg0pFj-xKBWLoci1zJSVG-CK3xMsqebBYQmpcAqRgOrbWvQo05iNMubqSWGld5VmzpGOfYA3K8Mc3kJowRKE/s640/Easy-Pumpkin-Crafts-for-Halloween-2012-By-Kayla-Kitts-from-HGTV-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div sizcache="137" sizset="156"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div sizcache="137" sizset="156"><div style="text-align: center;">Use vegetables, craft foam and accessories to create a loving, or scary, pumpkin family.
