Ladies, I am feeling way too enthusiastic about Fall decorating – again. This has happened to me before – as evidenced in this post of 100 no-carve pumpkin ideas and this post of 40 plus Halloween Dollar Store DIY’s.
It all started innocently enough.
With an idea of getting a little more festive with Halloween.
What I didn’t know was that I was flirting with disaster, and by that, I mean I became high-key obsessed with Halloween decor.
In other words, I must warn you that this Fall DIY stuff is like pumpkin crack, and I do not use that word loosely.
I’m only telling you this for your own good and safety – know that.
Okay, if you’re still here, that means you’re down to decorate, so grab your favorite broomstick and a hat and hold the bleep onto it. These Halloween front porch ideas will blow you away.

Welcome trick-or-treaters with a festive, illuminated message of your choice.
To make an illuminated pumpkin greeting, you can follow these steps:
- Choose a pumpkin: Select small pumpkins free of bruises and blemishes. A smooth surface works best for carving.
- Carve the pumpkin: Carefully cut off the top (of the pumpkin) to create a lid. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and pulp from inside the pumpkin. Then, using a pumpkin carving kit or sharp knife, carefully carve out your desired greeting or design on the front of the pumpkin.
- Add lights: Place small LED lights or battery-operated tea lights inside the carved pumpkin to illuminate your greeting. Make sure the lights are securely placed and won’t catch fire.
