I have to admit, I'm not that into decorating for Halloween, but I do want to make my front door inviting for all of the little trick-or-treaters. Here are three very easy and inexpensive DIYs that you can make in as little as an hour!



Pumpkin Planter






Clean out the pumpkin and add a mum, or any flower, and you have a beautiful Halloween planter!



Monogrammed Pumpkin







Trace or free-hand a letter or saying onto the pumpkin. (Tip: You can write in Word on the computer and trace onto the pumpkin) Using a sponge brush, paint the mod podge in the middle of the letter or saying and add the glitter.



Lighted Pumpkin



If you don't have the skills to carve a pumpkin, you can get a similar look by using a drill. Clean out the pumpkin and use drill bits in different sizes to make designs. Add a tea light candle and let it glow!
