DIY Halloween front doors
It’s October! Which mean Halloween is just around the corner.
According to the National Retail Federation, Americans are expected to spend $6.9 billion on Halloween costumes, candy, and decorations. That’s nearly $75 per person!
Less than half, 45%, plan to decorate their home or yard, with the average person spending $20.34. (Source: chicagotribune.)
With a little creativity, you don’t have to spend any money at all. Here are simple ideas to decorate your front door with items you probably already have at home.

If you have leftover kraft paper or old brown grocery bags, this one is a fun door to recreate. Reuse your spider web decorations from last year for a 3-D effect.
