Three Steps to an Eerie Entryway

1. Wicked Wreath

Take your door from boring to boo-ring with a ghoulish grapevine wreath: Lay down old newspaper and spray-paint a 16-inch crafts store wreath with black spray paint. While the wreath dries, send your little witches and warlocks out to find small twigs from the yard. Using a glue gun, adhere a few twigs to the wreath and push a few extra twigs in between the grapevine, making sure they follow the same direction. Next, secure a mini pumpkin and small plastic spiders to the wreath with a glue gun. Finally, stretch out crafts store cobwebs across the wreath for a stark look.


2. Pumpkin Pillars

Before you assemble your scary stacks, be sure to choose pumpkins that are the right size for your urns (the largest should fit right on top of the urn and the others should fit on top of each other. as shown in the photo).

Cut off the tops of the pumpkins (discarding all but the smallest pumpkin top). Clean out seeds and pulp from inside the pumpkins and stack them as shown.

After the pumpkins are hollow and stacked, use a black washable marker to test designs for your tree. Once you are ready for a permanent picture, go over your design with black enamel craft paint that will not run off in wet weather. When the paint is dry, carefully wipe away any washable marker line using a damp towel.

To emulate stars, drill 1/4-inch holes into the pumpkins. For the three-tiered look, draw and carve out a crescent moon on the smallest pumpkin.

Last, place candles inside the pumpkins to bring the spooky scene to life.

3. Jack-o'-Luminaries

Pick up a few small white gift bags from a crafts or party store. To make the black house as shown in the photo, draw or stencil the shape directly onto the bag using a pencil. Once you are happy with your design, fill in the drawing with a black magic marker. To light your path, place small candles into glasses or votives, then into the bags.
