There are a lot of ways to get creative in the month of October, including DIY Halloween costumes, baking delicious Halloween desserts, and spooky crafts for kids! Just look at your neighbor's porch or entryway, and you'll see everyone flexing their crafting skills with Halloween decorations galore. Spiders, witch hats, and jack-o'-lanterns are just the start. It's pretty safe to say that the centerpiece of your home—your front door!—deserves the most attention. So why not adorn it with one of these adorable Halloween wreaths?
It makes sense if you think about it. Halloween door decorations will be the first thing your trick-or-treaters or costume party guests will see when they show up at your home. That's why we've made this list of the best DIY Halloween wreath ideas, which is full of cute, spooky, and sweet options. (We're serious on that last one; there's an adorable wreath that uses real candy corn!) They're not only fun but incredibly easy to make, too.
Welcome visitors with a Halloween-themed, rainbow-colored wreath—which, by the way, doubles as a pumpkin craft you can do with the kids! But if you'd prefer to stick with a darker, spookier vibe that matches the overall atmosphere of the holiday, you can make that happen, too: Our ideas include skull-shaped wreaths, wreaths laden with black crows and witch silhouettes, and plenty of other eerie options. Your houseguests will be almost (almost!) too afraid to knock.
