So we ' ve rounded up DIY Halloween decorating ideas that are so easy , it ' s scary .
1 . Let Candles Drip All you have to do for this one is light some drip candles , let them work their magic , and arrange them around the house . Bonus points if you display them in spooky , black-painted wine bottles for major fright-night thrills .
2 . Craft a Pumpkin Topiary For a wickedly good welcome — or just some show-stopping outdoor decor — consider making a pumpkin topiary with painted plastic pumpkins , a barrel-inspired planter , lights , and hay .
4 . Add Black and White Pumpkins Line the steps on your front porch with pumpkins ( paint one of them black to bring some darkness into the mix ), then make a mini Halloween-themed " street sign " to put in a pot of plants .
