How to Create a Door Hanging Decor for Halloween

Hey friend,

So Halloween is coming up, right!? Time to scare the neighbors and make your house look like the spookiest haunted place on the block. But instead of just putting up some lame plastic ghosts that look like they came from a dollar store explosion, why not make your own door hanging decor? It’s super easy and way more fun. Plus, who doesn’t wanna give kids a little scare when they come to trick-or-treat? Let’s do this!

Step One: Gather Your Supplies

First things first. You gotta get stuff. Go hunt around your house for anything that looks spooky or weird. Old sheets, yarn or string, scissors—yeah you need those too—construction paper, googly eyes if you have them (seriously who doesn’t love googly eyes), and maybe some candy if you’re feeling generous… but mostly for you probably.

Step Two: Pick Your Theme

Okay so now you gotta decide what kind of creeptastic vibe you’re going for. Are we talkin’ scary witch, creepy spider, or maybe that pumpkin that looks like it popped outta the trash? I mean some pumpkins are just ugly af! Whatever you choose try to keep it simple. A giant spider web with a big fake spider in the middle is ALWAYS creepy.

Step Three: Get Crafty

Now it’s crafting time! Take those old sheets and cut ‘em into strips. It’s gonna look like ghost ribbons! For added flair, write “Boo” on them with markers or lipstick cause hey who cares! Just hang ‘em from the top of your door frame so they fall down like ghost hair or something. Don’t forget the googly eyes! They are essential!

Step Four: Add Some Extra Spookiness

But wait! It can’t stop there. Grab some colored paper and cut out bats or pumpkins or whatever freaky stuff comes to mind. Tape ‘em around your door but make sure they hang at different lengths cause that makes it look more chaotic which is just what we want right?! Super messy = super spooky.

Step Five: Make Some Noise

Now here’s where it gets extra fun. You gotta make some noise! Buy or make a little sign that says “Enter If You Dare.” Then attach a wind chime or tin cans so every time someone walks by it goes CLANG CLANG CLANG! Perfect for scaring anyone who thinks they’re brave enough to come over.

Step Six: Final Touches

And don’t forget some lights! If you have any orange-colored lights lying around put them up too. It’ll give off that haunted glow and perfect vibe for all those ghouls and goblins lurking around waiting for candy…or brains if this was an actual zombie movie!

Step Seven: Stand Back and Admire Your Work

Once you’ve done all this… step back and check out your creation! You’ve made something even Martha Stewart would be proud of (probably). Just remember – take some pics cause people won’t believe how awesome it is unless there’s proof!!
