I honestly am the WORST at decorating for Halloween. I just have never had that much gumption to do so. The most I have ever done would be paper bats that I hung in our front entry and a scarecrow that I bought at Hobby Lobby (and it wasn’t even scary, more like happy/creepy).

This is the year I have decided to change all of that. So I asked my Pinterest guru sister, Nicole to send me some of her favorite Pins of Halloween and then I went on a search myself.

And I was completely amazed on what I found. People are so creative and amazingly talented. Be sure to check them all out, I have even shared with you which ones I will totally be doing.

Let me know if there are any that you just love or if I missed one of your favorites be sure to comment below, I totally want to check it out. XOXO San

Don’t forget to pin this to your favorite Pinterest board for later.

Bats Door – I love, love, love this. I have my front door already decorated with a lame sticker. Thinking I will switch to this. Thoughts?

DIY Pumpkin Candle Holders – these are super adorable and I know as soon as my sister sees these she will want to make them.

Spooky Crystal Ball Candle Sticks – these are something that I would totally pick up at Home Goods or Target. But I am sure it is cheaper to make them on my own. Impress your friends with these. Get the clear Christmas bulbs here.

Spider Wreath – itsy – bitsy – spider went up the front door….I think that this is my favorite spider decoration yet!

Jack Skellington Door – loving this free door printable from TwinDragonFlyDesigns.com.

Candy Corn Wreath – I love how this doesn’t look gaudy at all. Candy corn to me is just kind of gaudy, so that fact that I just love this wreath says a lot.

Want to go a little scarier for a wreath on the front door – try this Snake Wreath. My boys would totally love to do this, my girls, not so much.

Ghost Candles – I am not sure you can get much easier than these and aren’t they just adorable. Get the candles here.

Creepy Candy Corn Jar – this is just too cute! I am loving it a guarantee must make here in our home.
