2) Spooky Wreath
A wreath is a classic door decoration, and there are endless possibilities when it comes to Halloween wreaths. You can purchase a pre-made wreath at your local craft store, or you can make your own.

Pumpkin topiaries are a fun and festive way to decorate your front porch for Halloween. You can make your own using real pumpkins, or you can purchase pre-made ones at your local craft store.
