Since my porch is so wide, I have a lot of real estate when it comes to decor in that space. I like to incorporate at least one bulky item (or two… or five, haha!) to fill the space. For all my fun Halloween finds, I first check JOANN Stores as they have a wide variety of seasonal decor,) and you know I love their app to get the latest coupons on merchandise!) This JOANN run did not disappoint! I was able to nab a HUGE black witch broom that my daughter immediately claimed then informed me she was changing her Halloween costume to a witch to match “her” new broom. (Um, MY new broom, haha.)

My JOANN run also included the most darling farmhouse style white chippy buckets, (minus the splinters!) and I knew I wanted to fill them up with fall goodness. Also snagged was a playful Halloween doormat that states Creep It Real, 2 black lanterns, more pumpkins (of course!) and a pretty white ceramic owl. Hoot hoot.

I simply layered the largest piece (the broom) of my JOANN haul against the wall then just kind of worked around it with real and fake pumpkins, a chic black lantern, and a fun outdoor chair that always houses a pillow and/or throw for the time of year is it. 😉

Tips to Make a DIY Pumpkin Topiary

Tip 1: Involve the kids! If you have responsible older children like I do, let them help! I supervised my 9-year old as she gently tapped the dowel into the pumpkin with a lightweight hammer and created this pretty topiary almost solo.

NO CUT bats! Get the flying-away look WITHOUT using scissors OR cutting pieces of tape. Get the EASY DIY here!

Tip 2: Accent around your topiary to make it POP! We snagged a 250-piece bat cutout kit from JOANN that was so fun to punch out and tape to my front door to create the easiest ever bats-flying-away display. So fun and they polish off the look of this simple, but cute, Halloween porch!

"CREEP IT REAL!" Best Halloween doormat ever! Pair with a pile of fake pumpkins + lantern to bring Halloween to life on your front porch. After all, it's the first space to welcome guests!
