    Playful Halloween Front Porch.

    Cute and playful decor

    Every October it goes a little something like this: hey, I think I'll add just a little bit of seasonal decor to my porch... then all of a sudden - BAM! There are spiders, webs, pumpkins, and witch hats everywhere. Usually, I just throw something together, but this year it's ended up looking pretty good, so today I thought I would share the playful Halloween front porch I've created.

    I started off inspired by my DIY Floating Witch Hats I did last year inside our home. Our tree in our little front porch area has grown quite a bit this summer, so I thought hanging them from it would be so fun. It was really so simple, just Dollar Spot hats and fishing string around the branches. I think it's so fun to see them mystically floating and swaying in the wind.

    The next little layer of Halloween whimsy I added were the giant spiders on our house. I think they are so fun around our front door. Someday I want to put them EVERYWHERE on the roof, on the garage, everywhere. Unfortunately, I recently noticed an issue with our roof where it seems to have sagged a little, so I'm afraid of putting any additional weight on it. I need to get in touch with a contractor similar to this High Point roofing company to get it sorted, and next year I'll be able to fully deliver my vision.

    To add a little extra spookiness, I even wired some smaller spiders into my wreath, because hello spooky fun.

    None of the pumpkins I had out there were feeling right, something was missing... I decided to grab MORE pumpkins (obvious choice) and spray paint them white, add some spooky faces, and man... that just REALLY brought it together. Along with some mums I found at our local nursery.

    That's it! What do you think? I never used to do Halloween Decor, but my kids think it's the best thing of their lives. I love our house to be a place where my children look forward to being, so if adding some spooky touches helps me along that mission. You can bet I'm going to do it!

      How did you get the spiders to stick on your house?

        Just with a tiny nail! The legs are wire so I wrapped around the nail + it worked perfect!
