The Great Pumpkin Halloween Porch!

Hi friends! It was so fun creating this “The Great Pumpkin” porch last weekend. I love Halloween and I always decorate a special porch for the holiday. I usually decorate a “themed” Halloween porch. In the past I have shared a “welcome my pretties” porch, “colorful Halloween”, “Witching Hour” Porch, “skeleton” porch and a “bat” porch! This year I went with a “great pumpkin” porch! Every year as a child I remember watching Charlie Brown’s The Great Pumpkin and that’s when I knew it was Halloween!

Easy Ways to Create a Great Pumpkin Halloween Porch

I am sharing the easy ways I created this fun “pumpkin” themed Halloween porch!

Create a Pumpkin Porch: Spray Paint Inexpensive Light-Up Pumpkins

Did you know that spray paint is magical?? I really think it is. When I saw all of the very inexpensive pumpkins that are at Walmart this year I thought they would be so fun to share but in a prettier way. I initially spray painted them white but they seemed very flat. I had a can of Rustoleum’s Hammered Copper Spray Paint.

Today I’m joining some of my talented blogging friends for the Fall Seasonal Simplicity Series: Halloween Projects hop. Be sure to check out all of the fun ideas by visiting these posts. All the links are just below the images.

This is my favorite metallic spray paint. There are a few different finishes in this line — gold, silver and copper. The thing I love about this spray paint is that there are tiny bits of glittered in the paint. As you are spray painting, you can see the flakes sparkle and the finish is so rich and beautiful! I wanted to use this spray paint color because I knew it would match our porch lights!

Create a Pumpkin Porch: Paint $1 Pumpkin Pails

I loved the idea of having pumpkins magically hanging in the air. $1 pumpkin pails were perfect. I spray painted the pails with the same copper spray paint.

Create a Pumpkin Porch: Hanging Pumpkins

I used cup hooks and screwed them into the porch ceiling. The pumpkins are hanging at different heights in two rows in front of the door.

Create a Pumpkin Porch: Make a Pumpkin Topiary

One of my most viral Halloween posts is my Stacked Pumpkin Topiary. I made it about 6 years ago and this is the third home that it has lived at. It was time for a makeover. I took the black pumpkins and spray painted them to match the copper pumpkins so all of the pumpkins match!

Create a Pumpkin Porch: Add a Pumpkin Garland to the Door

I took the pumpkin theme and continued it to the garland that I strung over the door. It’s actually two garlands with the cutest velvet pumpkins in the same copper colors. I entwined the two garlands together and put it at the top of the doorway.

Create a Pumpkin Porch: Add Copper Fairy Lights

Copper Fairy Lights

These gorgeous copper tiny twinkle lights are one of my favorite things. I strung them around the pumpkins on one side of the porch and then up over the front door and down around the other side of the door and pumpkins on that side too.

Create a Pumpkin Porch: Make a Pumpkin Wreath

I created a 10-minute pumpkin wreath with pumpkins that have little LED votives inside. They light up! I will have the tutorials and supplies for the pumpkin wreath on the site tomorrow. I’ll update this post with that link tomorrow.

Create a Pumpkin Porch: Fill in Extra Space

Take mums and extra pumpkins and fill in any open spaces. I also added flowers and pumpkins all the way down our porch stairs.
