You\u2019ve probably already put up the Halloween decorations, but do you have a station set up to pass out the chocolate bars, gum, hard candies, or fun-sized potato chips.<\/p>\n<p>Be a Halloween legend this year by spicing up your entry door before the trick-or-treaters arrive. Here are our favorite ideas.<\/p>\n<h4>Idea 1: Monster door<\/h4>\n<p>Line your <a href=\"https:\/\/dwwindows.com\/entry-doors\/\">entry door<\/a> with painted cardboard or cardboard covered in painted papier mache (old newspapers will do and are hardier). You don\u2019t need giant slabs \u2013 get creative with cutting out scales and jagged feathers. Use two white paper plates or cut out two cardboard circles and paint them white. Then, add some eyes \u2013 they can be plain black dots or colorful spirals. Add some teeth to the top of your entry door \u2013 make sure they won\u2019t get damaged by your door continuously opening and closing!<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if you don\u2019t want to line your door, wrap it in white tulle, throw your eyes on there, and voila! Mummy door. Conversely, you can slap some eyes on a black canvass, or eyes and a scary mouth on your door and make a festive entry door that trick-or-treaters won\u2019t forget!<\/p>\n<h4>Idea 2: Spider web<\/h4>\n<p>For this idea, you can use cardboard, yarn, or twine. If you use tape, make sure it doesn\u2019t damage your door\u2019s paint job! Paint your materials white, grey or silver if they\u2019re not that color already. Then, go to town with the assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Assembly can be easy or difficult depending on the material you choose. If you\u2019re going with yarn or twine, we recommend starting with a solid base or find a tutorial like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=heqnV7tcMF8\">this one<\/a> to help you out.<\/p>\n<h4>Idea 3: Haunted porch<\/h4>\n<p>Do you have a whole porch? The possibilities are endless! From chicken-wire \u201cghosts\u201d to scarecrows sitting on rocking chairs, you can literally turn your porch into a haunted hot spot and fill it with ghosts and goblins to greet your visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Bales of hay make festive adornments, as do dried corn stalks for your porch\u2019s beams. You can even mingle with the decorations on your porch and surprise guests.<\/p>\n<h4>While you\u2019re decorating:<\/h4>\n<p>Getting your entry door ready to welcome trick-or-treaters is a great opportunity to inspect your door for little problems before they become scary. Is your door sticking as you open and close it? Does the lock or bolt need some effort to click in place? If so, you may need to inspect your door and see if it\u2019s time to replace it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fortunately, we can help with that.
