Outdoor Halloween House Decoration Ideas
Bring spooky ideas to life this Halloween with some fantastic suggestions. Let’s look at how to make your home the spookiest on the block!
Spooky Wreath
Make your home super weird with this nightmarish wreath. Get plain twigs or cheap artificial roses and spray them with black paint. Then, glue them to a cardboard wreath form. Use black construction paper if you want to add creepy little bats.
Halloween Arch
A spooky Halloween arch is something you should add to your porch or main entrance. You can pick any character, and your creepy and scary arch will be ready to spook visitors. These arches are easy to find at some of the best places to get fun things to rent for parties in Dubai.
Scary Witch
Talking about outdoor Halloween decorations ideas, this one is terrifying. Draw ghostly creatures in black in your front yard. To make them look like actual witches, use chicken wire for the form and old garments for the filling. Your Halloween guests must summon great courage to enter your yard.
Skeletons in the Yard
Want to add a unique touch to your Halloween decorations at home? Place a skeleton family on a bench in your front yard and allow a daddy, a mummy, and a baby skeleton to visit your neighbours and family! Set out a candy box for your trick-or-treaters and see if they would approach them.
Spider Egg Wreath
Scared of spiders? Then this is the ultimate indoor home decor Halloween idea! You’ll need spray paint, gauze, styrofoam balls, plastic spiders and a twig to create a creepy spider egg wreath.
Create a spider egg wreath by attaching styrofoam balls and plastic spiders onto the twig. Use spray paint and stretched gauze to create a realistic-looking spider web.
Plastic Snake Wreath
With this frightening snake wreath, you will spook your neighbours. To create this creepy crawly, you’ll need a wreath form and a variety of plastic snakes.
Making these is a little tricky, but you’ll get the hang of it. All you need to do is always start with the bigger snake. Carefully weave each one between the twigs. Repeat the same procedure until all of your rubbery reptiles have been used. We recommend using hot glue to secure the snakes to the wreath.
Front Door Pumpkins
Let’s start Halloween home decor with your front door! Trick or treat your Dubai neighbours with a broad range of pumpkins from your nearby grocery store. You can never get too many; fresh or faux, big or small!
Indoor Halloween Decoration Ideas for Your House
It’s time to get the indoors spooky with these amazing Halloween home decorations.
Paper Bats
There are plenty of cheap home decorations for Halloween that you can end up making out of paper and a swarm of flying bats is one of them! Use a bat stencil to trace the shape onto a sheet of black construction paper, then cut it out with scissors.
Reposition the stencil on top of each bat you’ve made and use a ruler to draw creases along the dotted lines. To make the wings 3D, fold the folds in opposing directions on each wing.
DIY Halloween Village
One of the popular DIY Halloween decorations is to create a creepy spooky village. And it’s super easy to do. All you need to do is to spray paint birdhouses of various shapes and sizes in dark hues to create your own spooky village.
Spider Web Plant Hanger
Attach fake spiders to a macrame plant hanger with hot glue or craft glue. To finish the appearance, add a spiky plant or succulent.
Giant Balloon Spiders
Fill one large black balloon for the body and one smaller black balloon for the spider’s head. To make the spider, tie the two balloon ties together.
Wrap black faux fur around eight lengths of unfurled wire hanger or 12-gauge craft wire and secure with hot glue. Twist the ends of four lengths together to form leg bundles. Do the same with the other four lengths.
Wrap a black pipe cleaner around the twisted ends of the leg bundles to keep them together. Then, wrap a pipe cleaner around the spider’s “neck,” where the balloons are connected. To hang the installation, wrap the fishing wire around the spider’s leg.
Pumpkin Candy Dispenser
We appreciate decor that is both seasonal and practical. So, make the most of your pumpkin by converting it into a one-of-a-kind candy dispenser. Trace the front of a medium pumpkin with the bottom of a glass bowl or storage container.
Remove the pulp and seeds by cutting around the traced area. Insert the bowl, slightly widening the hole as necessary. Use hot glue to secure a length of thick rope around the bowl’s edge. Fill the basin halfway with candy.
Witch’s Cauldron
Serve your party punch in a cauldron to give your party the Halloween feel. Place the cauldron inside a grapevine wreath and add paper flames to the sides. Create a smokey effect with dry ice to perfect the look.
Bookshelf Critters
Need ways to make your bookshelf look spooky? Print out silhouettes of rodents, trace them onto black cardstock and place them on the shelves.
Ghostly Figure
Carve a grumpy jack-o’-lantern and mount it to the top of an old dressmaker’s dummy with care. Place the mannequin in the foyer, drape it in tattered-looking cloth and let it greet your party guests.
