Are you wondering how to make DIY outdoor Halloween decor on a budget? Here are some easy Halloween decorations.

Are you wondering how to make DIY outdoor Halloween decor on a budget? Here are some easy Halloween decorations. These are diy outdoor halloween decorations using cheap materials you probably have around your own home. They take very little time and are a creative way too spruce up your outdoor space for a halloween party, haunted house or just for trick-or-treaters.  I have some ideas for easy, creepy Halloween decorations that you can use for your front door, front porch, or front yard!

Mummy Door - I taped strips of toilet paper (or you could use crepe paper or fabric) to your door. I added a couple eyes I found from the dollar store.

DIY Outdoor Halloween Decor

How Do You Make A Mummy Door?

This first DIY project is a mummy door and it’s a simple way to dress up your front door to greet party guests for Halloween. I taped strips of toilet paper (or you could use crepe paper or fabric) to the door.

I added a couple of eyes I found from Dollar Tree.

My kids were so excited to see this door (and so were the neighbor kids - they were spying on me all day)

Garden Ghost - I placed a basket ball on top of a plant stand I had.

The next outdoor Halloween decoration idea is a spooky ghost. I placed a basket ball on top of a plant stand I had. You could also use a tomato cage.

I set a full sized white sheet over the stand.

Glowing Ghost - I bought 2 glass lamp shades at a thrift store. I use a permanent marker to make some eyes.

Another great way to add to your outdoor decorations is to make lights to use as Halloween porch decorations. I bought 2 glass lamp shades at a thrift store. You can also find these at home depot or your local craft store

I use a permanent marker to make some eyes.

I put a solar light through the hole on the top so he'd glow.

Halloween Tree - I took a couple branches we had from fall clean up. I spray painted them black and let them dry.

How Do You Make A Halloween Tree?

Easy DIY Halloween decorations can use natural materials found right in your yard.; I took a couple branches we had from fall clean up. I used black spray paint and painted them black then let them dry.

I put them in a flower pot and filled it with dirt to keep them in place. I set the flower pot in a plastic cauldron I had on hand. I added some purple lights for added glow.

I added some purple lights for added glow. You could also cut out creepy spiders, witches’ brooms, black birds, skeleton hands or scary ghosts to hang on the tree.

Giant Spiderweb - I cut some sprinkler pipe so that I could make a circle with it.

How Do You Make A Giant Spiderweb?

No spooky Halloween decorations are complete without spider webs. I cut some sprinkler pipe so that I could make a circle with it.

I taped it together with some gaffers tape.

I used some twine I had on hand, and created the web by weaving it around the tubing.
