2. Yard Monsters
Look out! Monsters! It’s always nice to have a monster or two around to greet your guests! Good thing is that it can be simple to make a few of these! Just add eyes to any bushes around your home. The eyes in this deco idea is made using foam discs. It is wrapped with black fabric to give it the typical style on how pupils should look like. After that, stick the pupil onto the larger white foam disc with hot glue gun. At this point, you’re pretty much done. Now you just need to find the right bush for it. You can stick a skewer behind these eyes to secure them in place.
3. Tomato Cage Ghost
What a fancy night Halloween decoration to have! As the name suggest, you’ll need a tomato cage to act as support for the white pillow case that will play the role of the ghost. Tomato cage also allows the string light to be wrapped around it. Be sure to draw some ghost face on the pillow case before putting it onto the cage.
4. Black & White Jack-O-Lantern Topiary
We definitely can’t miss a few Jacks in our Halloween decor! They’re like the signature of the day! Making this amazing looking topiary is quite easy. Just skewer a few pumpkins over a pole and put some lighting inside. You can go for the easy tea light candle, glow stick or battery operated lights. Spray painting it is entirely up to your creativity. I think the original orange would look fine.
5. Pumpkin Monster Eating A Leg
Pumpkin is pretty popular at this time of the year. They’re good for soup, latte and also be part of your home decor. Because pumpkin craving is almost like a tradition. Chances are you’re doing it too! While you’re at it, make a monster out of it. Put it some on your yard and stuff some human parts into their mouth. Add a few drops of fake blood and voila!
6. Skeleton Coming Out
All monsters come out at night. Here’s Mr. Skeleton doing so after years of slumber! To make this decor, you just need a skeleton prop and a plank of wood. Put a wooden block under the plank of wood coz it’s obvious that the skeleton hand won’t be able to support its weight. Cover the ground with more autumn leaves and make it convincing.
7. Hanging Bats
It won’t be Halloween without bats! These scary creatures hides within the trees at night, preying. But wait, aren’t these a little too big?! Just perfect to freak people out! You can make this using slightly heavier material than paper like mounting board or thin wood pieces. Just be sure the rope that hangs them around are well secured. We wouldn’t want any of these flying around when the wind blows!
8. Hanging Skeletons
Show a good example of what happens to people who took more than one candy from you! These skeletons will definitely send the message around!
9. Fence Ghost
Simple and easy. You can add ghost eyes onto your fence and decorate them! Just stick some black papers onto the fence so you can take them away after the occasion. They don’t look intimidating so it’s a great way to welcome more people to visit your house for candies!
10. Glowing Casket
The glowing casket maybe a difficult prop to make but it does look stunning. The skeleton parts extending out from the gaps really gives a stunning effect. The green glowing light makes the prop pop especially at night. If you put a speaker inside that creates strange noises, it will send chills down the spine of those who dare to walk near it!
11. Cellar Arms
You’ve trapped a beast underground and it’s trying to get out! Make this creepy Halloween decor with only 3 main things. A wooden pallet acting as a cage, hand props and red tealight candles. Some digging maybe required. So, be ready to get your hands dirty!
12. Jack-O-Lantern Scare Crow

Not all house has a Cerberus dog roaming around their yard. This prop is what’s gonna make your home special! The dog house can be built with cardboard. Some paint job maybe needed to give it a nice little creepy touch. It’s gonna make your yard look great and pawsome!
14. Skeleton Party
Not all Halloween decor is about creeping people out. In this case, we get to see the warm friendly side of it. Just some skeleton friends hanging out in a BBQ session. Nice. The setting is pretty easy to make. You need couple of skeleton props so they don’t feel lonely. The seat haystack is optional. You could just set them up on the ground or on a log. The bonfire is another simple arrangement of branches wrapped with string lights.
15. Cat Eyes
Watch out! These trees have eyes! This can be one of the easiest Halloween decor ideas in the list! You can use felt or colored papers for the eyes. Stick them onto the trees with something like double sided thick tape so it will be well secured onto the trees until you decide to remove them.
