1. Festive Fabrics
Craft a quick and easy halloween wreath with just styrofoam and fabric. Using a styrofoam ring, wrap the foam in a festive fabric of your choice like an autumnal plaid or classic houndstooth to hang over your door with a wreath hanger.
Tip!
Opt for outdoor-safe fabrics to withstand the elements on your front porch.
Adhere decorative pumpkins together in the shape of a wreath with only a hot glue gun. Vary the sizes of pumpkins in a collage layout and mix up the texture using different materials like fabric or wood to keep it light.
Channel the look of a spooky pumpkin patch using faux grass and straw to decorate your Halloween wreath. Instead of using a styrofoam ring as your base, instead use a straw or twig wreath for a rustic base and accent with seasonal faux florals like sunflowers and mums.
Have your guests spell-bound with a wacky witch wreath display. Stick in disembodied legs accessorized with striped socks and pointy shoes and top with a off kilter black hat to represent the whole witchy wardrobe.
Decorate your door with a haunted Halloween wreath complete with spirits and sequins. Go for something less scary and more cute with this adorable ghost themed wreath to encourage trick-or-treaters to ding dong without ditching.
Add a realistic touch to your door decor with a wreath that looks like creepy crows and other bizarre birds. Decorate a wreath of dark silky feathers and black plastic birds to play tricks on the eyes and the treaters.
Create a spine-chilling Halloween wreath with skull and skeletal decor. Dress up boney fingers and hollow heads with a wreath so scary you’ll be jumping out of your skin.
Build an insect friendly home on the entrance of your own with a spider-themed Halloween wreath. You can even DIY your own spiders by twisting 4 pipe cleaners and bending the ends to make the perfect creepy eight-legged house guest. If you aren’t into the fake webbing, you can adhere a stick on door mural to cast the same creepy crawly effect.
Compile any miscellaneous Halloween decor from storage and transform it into a Halloween wreath. Tack on googly eyes, Halloween signs, or even a lone skeleton to create your one-of-a-kind spooky door decoration.
Get more out of your seasonal decor by incorporating your Christmas decorations into your Halloween ones. Decorate your wreath with ornaments in Halloween colors like orange, purple, or black. Add even more dazzle by wrapping around string lights that run on batteries.
Like the ornaments, tinsel isn’t reserved only for Christmas. Halloween wreaths that feature tinsel have just the right glint that catches the light for an eye-catching door decor piece/
If you don’t have a full moon to light your way, opt for a Halloween wreath with a lighted feature. For easy convenience, choose a battery-powered wreath instead of trying to run an extension cord across your porch.
If you prefer glam to gory, pick a Halloween wreath covered in glitter. You can still be in the spirit, just in a flashy one.
Incorporate some outdoor elements with a wood/twig Halloween Wreath. The dried (“dead”) branches give it just the right creepy touch.
Go all in with Halloween’s signature color and hang a vibrant monochromatic wreath.
If orange isn’t your color, go gothic and display an all black wreath. Bonus points if your door is also a brooding color.
Wreaths don’t have to only hang outside. Bring in the Halloween spirit and hang indoor-friendly wreaths made of fabrics and materials that wouldn’t otherwise fare well outdoors.
If you like your Halloween decorations to have a realistic approach, choose a wreath that looks modern but mysterious. This wreath keeps the spooky look with the pale color scheme, but still looks stylish with the faux greenery and pumpkins.
This wreath is less scary and more fall, but still appropriate for Halloween. Touches of mum flowers and wheat mixed with the bleached pumpkins is a wholesome Halloween decoration.
Go subtle this year with small wreaths (16’”-23” diameter). They’re perfect to hang on your door, on your wall, or even on your staircase for a small spooky adornment.
