Outdoor Halloween Decor

It's October and it's time to put out our Halloween Decor. This is something really fun and easy to make and inexpensive. My husband, son and I made this last year and it's one of my favorite decorations we have!

We went to Lowe's and got a 2x4. These are the measurements we had them cut.
Base (bottom) board: 29 1/2"
Pumpkin: 8"
Mummy: 10"
Frankenstein: 18"
Black Cat: 9"
Ghost: 8"

We already had craft paint on hand, but you can pick some up from Walmart or Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby will have a bigger selection. We used orange, green, black, lime green, gold and white. For our base board we picked up a can of webbing spray from Hobby Lobby, it only cost $4.99. It was a last minute idea that I thought would look cute. :)

You can obviously put them in any order you would like, this is just the order we chose. We did nail them to the board and did leave one nail sticking out further from the rest to help is stay on the ground. For the Mummy, we picked up a ACE Brand Self-Adhering Elastic Bandage. Once everything is painted, dried and put together we sprayed with clear sealer to help keep the paint safe!

This was such a fun family project and is such a cute decoration. We really really enjoyed making these, I hope your family does too! :)
