I know we have a few more weeks until Halloween but I am so ready to decorate and make some DIY Halloween Door Decorations. Fall is my favorite season and all the fun starts with Halloween.
We get to dress up, have parties, and decorate our house! Last year we lived in an apartment while they were building our house so we didn't really bother with putting up Halloween decorations.
Now we live in a fun neighborhood and I can't wait to see all the decorations.
It would be difficult to make you a traceable template since not all doors are the same size and it's such a large area to decorate but with a tape measure and a pencil you should be able to get the right sized decorations created for your DIY Halloween Door.
DIY Halloween Door Decorations:
- Posterboard of various colors
- Scissors
- Glue Dots/masking tape
- Tape Measure
Instructions:
Measure your door and decide how big the eyes need to be. We divided the within half so that the corner of the eyes would be touching.
Next cut out the colorful part of the eyeball. We used orange because it was really bright against the brown door. You can start out with a rough design and then trim the orange part to fit perfectly on the white piece. Then finish with a small black pupil. Tape all the pieces together.
Next, you can create the mouth. Our monster had a thin, black mouth with two teeth. We cut out a long, skinny, crooked black mouth that was the width of the middle of our door and two white, skinny triangles for the teeth.
We put his horns on the outside of the door, so you will also need to measure the height and width of that area so you can create your horns.
The best part is - he's a monster so they don't need to be exactly the same!
Now you are ready to hang your monster! Use some masking tape or even painter's tape to secure the pieces onto the door frame.
Add the ears on the outside of the door frame to make this monster to appear even bigger.
You are ready to scare up some fun this Halloween!
That is so totally adorable! It looks like something straight out of a Disney film!
So cute an easy! I love this idea. I think it would be neat to throw on some smaller sets of eyes as well as if it's a whole clan! Love it!
Thanks for sharing!
What a simple and fun way to decorate for the holiday! I'm going to have to check out that app. The filter looks so fun too!
I am all for a simple fun way to decorate!
What a fun idea for Halloween. I usually hang up a wreath but this is a cool idea too.
Oh how fun!!! Now you totally have me wanting to decorate my door for Halloween! My boys would love this!
This is so cute. I need to get into gear and start decorating for Halloween. I will check out the Mini Monsters app.
That's such a cute way to decorate your door. I might have to do something like this for this year!
Oh my gosh this is so perfect! I love those spooky eyes and teeth. I have to pick up some of those Mini Monsters cans too.
What a fun and easy decor idea! You could even get the entire family in on the action and bring the festivities inside by having everyone design their own door face.
Too easy and super cute! Now there's even something for the non-crafty folks like me! I love it!!! 🙂 My kids will adore this!
You door decoration is awesome! It reminds me the monster house movie! Love this theme! Amazing!
Aww, what a cute door decoration. I will definitely be doing this too all of my doors for Halloween!

My mini monsters would adore your Halloween door. I can't believe it's almost October already!
I'm digging that door decor! Very cool! I bet the trick or treaters will love it
I love your door decoration! We saw these cans at Walmart and bought a few. The kids and I had so much fun playing with the Mini Monsters!
Ah! I love this. I need to do this to my place, my kids would get such a kick out of it! So cute, I love DIY decorations. So much fun!
The orange was a great color for the eyes. This turned out great!
That's a good door decoration. I haven't seen anything like that before. It is really original, and that makes it even better.
What a creative idea. My kids would LOVE to come home to this after school. I think I will make it this week
Super cute idea! We usually go for the fall-ish look rather than the scary look.
This is so creative and adorable! I bet my husband would enjoy doing this too!
This just shows that we don't have to spend a lot of money for Halloween decorations. Your door looks nice! I have bought enough (I think) mini monsters for our family get together this Halloween. The kids would love it for sure.
I love this! DIY decorations are always my favorite. We are going to make a wreath for my mom's door.
