Here are a few ideas you can explore.
1. Flame Keepers

Creative decor is only as good as the story behind it. Flamekeeping is one of the most common myths in witch stories, so why not bring it to life? In this design, two witches guard the flame “pot.”
The pot’s spooky design adds character, while the light bulbs illuminating the witches’ heads make the figures appear more realistic. To make it even more realistic, you can add a couple of string lights to the pot to really bring out the element of the flame.
2. Stay on Watch

Most of the time, people tend to forget about the garden or are skeptical about decorating such spaces, thinking that they’ll require too many materials and time. However, with enough creativity, decorating your garden can be a breeze.
This design adds a miniature witch figure to the garden, complete with a broom as if keeping watch on the space.
3. A Statement Gate

With trick-or-treaters expected, why not start the spookiness from the gate? This will not only be a statement decor piece but can also invite people to explore what other decorations lie inside.
In this design, the gate with a “trapped” skeleton tied to it serves instant spookiness. The curved pumpkin witch figure hanging from the balcony adds extra pizazz, while the smaller details on the compound, such as the tombstone and the “help me” sign, make the designs authentic.
4. Go Creative with the Welcome Sign

It’s a festive season, and you want to make people feel welcome in your home. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t get spooky with the welcome sign. Here, this beautifully terrifying witch design serves as a welcome sign.
The combination of dark and colorful elements creates an element of terror while also attracting the interest of curious trick-or-treaters. There are a variety of ways to explore this design. The trick is adding functionality to the design; this can work on anything from welcome signs to mailboxes.
5. A Coven Meeting
![diy witch decorations for outdoor spookiness 5](https://www.decorhomeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/diy-witch-decorations-for-outdoor-spookiness-5-1.jpg)
As we all know, one of the requirements of being a witch is attending coven meetings. Well, if you didn’t, now you have some knowledge of the magical world! In this design, several witch figurines are arranged in a semi-circle in what seems to be a coven meeting, with pumpkins taking center stage.
The good thing about such a design is that you only need a few materials to bring it to life. All you need are some dark-colored clothes, a couple of witch hats, and pumpkins, and you’re ready to add spookiness to your space.
6. Wisdom of the Trinity
![diy witch decorations for outdoor spookiness 6](https://www.decorhomeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/diy-witch-decorations-for-outdoor-spookiness-6-1.jpg)
In witch mythology, the trinity is always a symbol of wisdom and power. It can represent anything from the three phases of life to the three forms of magical energy or even the three aspects of life.
This design employs the same concept with three similar witch figurines holding hands, clearly bringing the element of the three sisters of fate. It’s said that they have control over fate and destiny, so they could influence the fate of your Halloween celebrations!
7. Floating Hats

What is a witch without a spell? The two concepts are intertwined; one cannot exist without the other. So why not creatively combine the two for your next Halloween decorations?
In this design, several seemingly floating hats decorate the entryway, with a witch figure just below the hats, making it seem like a witch casting a levitating spell. The pumpkins next to the figurine bring in the fall color and Halloween spirit to the design.
If you want spooky witch décor that won’t be nerve-jarring, this is the design for you!
8. The Broom Shop
![diy witch decorations for outdoor spookiness 8](https://www.decorhomeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/diy-witch-decorations-for-outdoor-spookiness-8-1.jpg)
A broom is a witch’s favorite ride, or so they say. If you want a witch-themed Halloween and think that witch figures are too far or too spooky for your liking, decorating with brooms may do the trick.
In this Halloween witch décor design, several brooms have been added all around, adding a subtle, spooky feeling. The house’s color and the brooms contrast nicely, bringing out the beauty in each other. The pumpkins on the stairways leading to the house improve the space’s visual appeal.
9. Use Pumpkins
![diy witch decorations for outdoor spookiness 9](https://www.decorhomeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/diy-witch-decorations-for-outdoor-spookiness-9-1.jpg)
There’s no fruit more associated with Halloween than pumpkins. Their bright orange color matches well with fall vegetation, and there are tons of ways to decorate with them, starting with carving.
Here, two witch figurines made from carved pumpkins and haystack straws are used as the primary pieces. The addition of haystack bales and more pumpkins matches the centerpieces and adds a rustic feeling to the design. This décor style is ideal for farmhouses, where the required materials are easy to obtain.
10. A Spooky Entryway

One simple way to decorate for Halloween is to make a statement on your entryway. Besides, this is the place where many of the trick-or-treaters will frequent, so in line with the Halloween spirit, you should make it as spooky as possible.
Here, the entryway is adorned with several decorations, such as skeletons, skeleton heads, and cobwebs that bring out the element of spookiness. The highlight of the design is the witch on the rocking chair. You can add an automatic rocking chair to make the design even more chilling.
11. Turn an extra Barn Into a Witch Cottage
![diy witch decorations for outdoor spookiness 11](https://www.decorhomeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/diy-witch-decorations-for-outdoor-spookiness-11-1.jpg)
Even witches need a place to lay their heads, so why not use extra rooms or structures around your home to make a temporary witch cottage? All you need to do is repaint the room, add a few decor pieces that match the spooky season, and you’re set.
In this design, a small stand-alone room has been redecorated as a witch cottage, complete with a mailbox. This design is ideal because it’s easy to decorate; most of the items you purchase are to scale with the cottage, so you won’t have to spend as much.
12. Potion Brewers

Looking to create attractive décor on a budget this Halloween? This design is the perfect choice. Most people think decorating is costly, but this is far from the truth—all you need is creativity.
Here, a DIY witch figure has been made from old clothes overlooking what seems to be a “potion brewing station.” The witch is also made from DIY materials such as sticks, leaves, and other repurposed materials. If you have enough materials to repurpose, the net cost of this design can be zero.
14. A Witch Fair
![diy witch decorations for outdoor spookiness 14.. ..](https://www.decorhomeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/diy-witch-decorations-for-outdoor-spookiness-14.-.jpg)
Halloween décor should also be kid-friendly, considering this is one of the main holidays that the young ones really look forward to. Create a witch fun fair to add an element of playfulness to the design.
Here, several witch statues highlight the design with accent elements such as cobwebs and cooking pots. The fun component of the design has been brought about by the cornhole game with a witch overlooking the proceedings!
15. Watch Your Flight
![diy witch decorations for outdoor spookiness 15.. .](https://www.decorhomeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/diy-witch-decorations-for-outdoor-spookiness-15.-.jpg)
Remember what we said about a witch’s favorite ride? Well, when you’re flying at high speeds, one thing you should watch out for is posts or trees. This Halloween decor design depicts a scenario where a post has cut short a witch’s flight.
This design is not only easy to install but also cost-effective. All you need is some attire and filling material for the body, and you’re good to go. If you’re using public posts, make sure to check with authorities before installing the décor. You can also install it on a tall tree.
16. Incorporate the Décor in your Greenery
![diy witch decorations for outdoor spookiness 16.. ...](https://www.decorhomeideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/diy-witch-decorations-for-outdoor-spookiness-16.-.jpg)
If you already have permanent features or items outdoors, the last thing you want to do is remove them for temporary Halloween décor. The good news is that you can incorporate the décor into these permanent features, creating a win-win situation.
The witch statue has been creatively added to the plant, blending seamlessly and creating a spooky, well-rounded design. Since the plant is already tall, all that was added was the figurehead and the attire, making this another budget-friendly option.
