I don’t know if you saw the creepy crows wreath "how to" I posted a few days ago, but now it is time for it to take its place of honor on the front door with all of the other creepy bird friends who have been invited for Halloween. Since this is the first time I have had a front porch like this, I was excited to decorate for the holiday. I don’t know why I’m obsessed with birds right now, but it seems to be the case.
I bought quite a number of black crows at the Dollar Tree last Halloween and I ordered another box of 24 for them for this year to decorate my front porch. I wanted the little “monsters” to be warned, so I found this sign and had my dear friend, Tricia, change the “monsters” to “birds”. Several yards of black tulle were draped on the railings.

My “tree” was so easy to anchor in a heavy crock. I didn’t even have to scatter the leaves for atmosphere, they were happy to fall and blow around all by themselves.
This was a great branch from a sycamore tree, I think the little dried pods add to the creepy feel.
The birds have let a few of their rat friends come to join the party! These guys also came from the Dollar Tree. I mostly kept them away from the birds and had them staged on one side of the front steps.
The opposite side of the front steps holds orange and black pumpkins with birds perched on and around them.
Some cardstock bats swarm above an old wicker chair draped in sheer gray fabric and perched upon by birds and rats.
Beware the birds should you come trick or treating at Chloe’s house this year!
I hope you enjoyed my Halloween front porch decoration for this year. How will you be welcoming your trick-or-treaters?
And when Halloween is over...the porch goes back to plain and simple...UNTIL the Fall Decorations go up!!
