Last-Minute Halloween Decorations to Liven Up Your Landscape

Didn’t have time to decorate for Halloween, but don’t want to miss out on the neighborhood fun? Try out these fast and simple ideas to enhance your landscape’s look.

 

Pumpkins For Everything

Pumpkins are an easy way to decorate for Halloween if you haven’t had time to prepare for the big day. Pick one or two up on your drive home and give it a go:

Grab some sticks from the yard and use a few pumpkins to form a fun campfire-esque pile! This can be as simple or as elaborate as you want; carve one big flame into several pumpkins or a bunch of tiny flames into one large pumpkin. Add some battery-powered lanterns, and trick-or-treaters will be in awe of your display.

If you don’t have time to carve pumpkins, you can always paint them instead. From goblins and ghouls to light-hearted messages like “boo!”, you can take your landscape to the next level with a few minutes and a brush.

 

Witchy Fall Foliage

Another quick and easy way to dress up your haunted manor this Halloween is to grab a couple hands full of the leaves right outside. Add some black spray paint and some matching string, and there you have it: a spooky garland for your front porch!

 

Paper Goes a Long Way

Some may not have the time to pick up anything at all from their local store, and that’s okay too! If you have paper, tape, and some scissors around the house, you can create a multitude of Halloween shapes and figures to plant around your landscape or on the windows. Cut out scary silhouettes for your garage door or a fun ghost shape to use as a door cover!
