7 Easy Outdoor Halloween Decorating Ideas
Whether your home is more cute and comfortable or frightening and ooky; we've got the perfect outdoor Halloween decorating ideas to make your deck, porch, or patio the scariest thing you've seen all year. And it's been 2020!
1. Flying Ghosts
Cover your deck railing and pergola posts, and front porch with free-flying ghouls and ghosts this Halloween with some quick DIY crafts and the Hold It Mate Extension Hook Bundle. Made quickly and inexpensively from household items many already have on hand, use slightly inflated balloons, gauze fabric, and crepe papers to create your own scary friends and fiends to decorate your deck space.
Dangling from the secure hook of the movable Extension Hook Bundle on your deck railing, these little groups of Casper and friends can catch the wind to add movement to your Halloween outdoor decor.
2. Hand Out Candy Creatively
Mount the Hold It Mate Ring Bundle right at the front of your home's deck, porch, or patio for a fun, festive, and contact-free way to hand out Halloween candy! Let the trick-or-treaters reach in for their own goodies and relax back in your family's outdoor space to create a dreamy autumn night everyone will love.
3. Spooky Halloween Wreath
Say "Hallo!" with a DIY Halloween wreath attached right to your front door or porch! Simply position the Wall Mount Rail Kit by Hold It Mate where you want to showcase your craft, and you're all set! Add a little spooky witchcraft style to your front door by wrapping a black feather boa around a wreath form then adorning it with eyeballs or fake fingernails. Or create an icky-tricky spider wreath using fun, plastic spider figures clipped onto some fabric webbing for a terrifying look!
4. Mark Your Path With Spooky Lanterns
Solar Post Cap Lights with large glass or PVC sides, such as The Colonial Solar Post Cap and Decorative Solar Post Cap are brilliant choices to create your own cut-out silhouettes throughout your outdoor space!
Cut out some spooky spiders, some pointy-hatted witches, or a bewitching smile and use painter's tape or masking tape to attach them to the lighted sides of the deck post light.
Since Solar Post Cap Lights automatically turn on once the sun goes down, charges throughout the sunny day, and doesn't warm or create any heat while lit; this is one Halloween DIY that takes seconds and asks for no extra effort!
5. Get Lit
Halloween decor is literally as easy as recycling some tin cans. Add some mini pumpkins because fall. Solar deck lights in recycled cans.
6. Haunted Hotel Sign
Frighten away any unexpected guests or invite friendly trick-or-treaters to come grab a contact-free piece of candy with a Happy Halloween sign along your space. Paint a space piece of wood or metal with the appropriate craft paint, and then stencil or free-hand on your creepy, crawly message! Mount the Hold It Mate Basket Hook Bundle along your front deck balusters to create a secure spot to hang your sign that is movable and completely damage-free!
7. Recycled Jar Jack-o'-Lanterns
Create a spooky spectacle out on the deck with some old, used, glass jars, some crepe paper, and glue! Take recycled spaghetti sauce jars, jam jars, or salsa jars and upcycle them into fun and fancy jack-o-lanterns that you can arrange out on a Glass Railing Table for everyone to see!
