EyeBall Halloween Door Decoration-Super Simple and So FUN!!!

And now we are fully decorated and ready for Halloween.  The Haunted Mansion sign out front is up every year! The vinyl is available in our Etsy shop so you can make one too. Click here to see our blog post that tells how we made the sign.  The door decoration is new as of today. It was so much fun to do and we didn't have to buy anything……already had all the supplies.

We used a 3", 2", 1.5", ¾" and ½" round paper punch to make the different sized eyeballs.  You can use whatever size punch you have.  We added in the Halloween messages using lime green scrapbook paper. I was going to use black butcher paper, which I would have had to go out and buy, but my daughter said, "Why don't you use a black plastic tablecloth"  I already had one in my Halloween box unopened and ready to use. YEA!!! 

The black plastic tablecloth was perfect!  It clung to the door immediately and made it so easy to place and cut to size. It measured 108" long and 54" wide.  I glued the eyes on the eyeballs with a glue stick and then used double-sided tape on the back of the eyes.  The tape did a great job of keeping the eyes on the tablecloth but we could still take them off and move them around when we were designing it. We used the double-sided tape to put the lettering on too. Super Simple! 

Whatever size eyeballs you use will be perfect. Use your imagination and make the design truly yours.  We used white and black cardstock for the eyes and lime green for the lettering. .You could even use google eyes if you like. They come in all different sizes from very small to large. 

Cutting out the hole for the door nob was kind of tricky and we had to stabilize the area round the door knob so we used black electrical tape for that area and to stick it to the sides of the door.  We used 60 sets of eyes for the door. Use less or more if you like.

We love putting these signs we made out in the flower garden every Halloween-Next year I think I'll change the messages on each one!

We love putting these signs out in the flowerbeds for Halloween-They are just fun!  

Our Halloween door looks great from the street and it will look great at your house too!!

For a larger area this would certainly fill in the space. The next time you prune the trees (or your neighbor does) save them for this fabulous Halloween Tree  Better Homes and Gardens

These silver pumpkins are so Great for Halloween. You can actually spray them any color you want, black would be good too. I couldn't find the original source for the top photo (if it is yours please let me know.  The bottom photos is the tutorial for painting pumpkins (any color) Could use fake pumpkins too.  Find it over at  Baby Center

Another fun Halloween themed party game is this "Pin the Heart on the Skeleton" game.  The free pattern and instructions can be found over at  Honest to Nod  Make it out of paper, felt or material.

Found a great source for Halloween decorations including tombstones of all kinds, cemetery gates and other accessories including costumes  BuyCostumes.com and here's some good information for how to set up your cemetery and tombstones in your yard  from Halloween Tombstones.net

But if you want to make your own tombstones, take a look at this fabulous tutorial for making tombstones out of foam.  They will look like stone when you are done with them!  SOURCE

Check out this great idea for easy and cheap lighting of our outdoor Halloween decor-Super Easy and inexpensive but very effective.  Celtic Mommy

This is my favorite "Halloween Cemetery" cake.  I made one last year and though it didn't look exactly like this it was fun to make. (didn't want to eat it after decorating it)  Find all the directions and supply list for this cake at Country Living  (don't you love the platter?)

A cake in a jar is great but with the chocolate spider web on top you've got a Special Treat!  Get the directions and recipe HERE

While this cake is similar to the one above it looks like it would be easier to make.  Find this one over at Family Circle (use crushed chocolate cookies for the dirt and Pepperidge Farm's Milano and Bordeaux cookies for the tombstones)



Glitter, glue and wax paper are the tools you need to make this spider web. Very cool for your Halloween decor and especially for your buffet.  REDBOOK



Love the look of these Halloween broom sticks. Super simple to make and a great tasty snack (not full of sugar either)  The web site is in Spanish  SOURCE
