DIY Halloween Door Hanging and Our Crow-tastically Spooky Front Porch
Caw-caw-caw…today I can’t wait to share with you a super simple “spooky” Crow and Frame Door Hanging that I whipped up as the finishing touch to our Crow-tastically Spooky Halloween-ified Front Porch.
This door hanging took only a few minutes and was created with dollar store finds and a little burlap ribbon.
To make this door hanging, or something similar, you need:
- three frames (or your chosen number)
- three faux crows (mine are from the dollar store)
- burlap ribbon
- twine
- hot glue and glue gun
- scissors
You could use any kind of frames, but I fell immediately in love with these amazing little frames that are covered with mini wood rounds the moment I saw them at my local Dollarama.
Aren’t they the coolest?!?! I admit that I had to restrain myself from buying out the whole stock. Which was hundreds. I’m. Not. Joking.
Start by figuring out your spacing and cutting and hot gluing your burlap on the back to attach the three frames together.
Then use a longer strip of your burlap ribbon around the top frame and hot glue the ends together. I used a large needle to loop a piece of twine through my burlap. I tied it off at the back to form a little loop that my door hanging could ‘hang’ on.
Now use a little bit of hot glue to attach the crows to each of the frames and you are done! Ready to hang…
I love how it looks a little creepy and spooky because of the crows but is not tooooo scary.
I love the natural wood texture of the frames with all the other natural elements on the porch… like the branches with crows that were added for Halloween…
There are a few other simple changes on the porch since you last saw it… I kept the same flowers and polka dot painted pumpkins but added some branches and crows to spookify things a little.
I also changed up the chalkboard for Halloween…
And added a quick and easy DIY Pumpkin Banner made out of little wooden pumpkins painted white and embellished with some polka dotted washi tape.
And you might have noticed that I flipped over my little two-sided sharpie pillow to the Halloween side…
Cute but a little spooky I think? Crows are always a little caw-caw-caw scary aren’t they? I have a secret fear of them dive bombing me and pecking away my flesh…

I love your front entrance! I’m also loving the color if your front door!
Thank you Kathy! The color is called Aegean Teal by Benjamin Moore. We used it in a few spots in our house (the coffee table in the living room) and also used other colors on the same chip (Colorado Gray is one down and that is the color in our entry hall). I LOVE the whole spectrum of colors on the paint chip… such a pretty blue-green-with a hint of gray. Thanks for your visit and comments!
Great looking fall door decor. Love the crows on the frames and the branches… Candy
Thank you Candy! Collecting the branches from the woods around our house was the best part. My boys loved it:) Thanks so much for your visit and comments!
Love the Polka Dot Pumpkins!
Thank you! They are a pretty easy-lazy way of doing a pumpkin, that’s for sure!!
Everything looks amazing on your front porch!!
Thank you Megan!!
Happy Halloween! Love your super simple door hang, never seen nothing like the wooden frames. Like that it is simple & versatile can be done with any frame & guards or anything fall… Love the chalk board too…
What i love the most is tor front door, youve done a great job on it… I’ve been dying to redo my front door…
I like your idea to sub out the crows for a fallish thing like gourds. I just might do that once Halloween is over!! Thanks!
No prob any time…
What a welcoming Halloween porch! I love your original door decor and that two sided pillow! Great ideas:)
Thank you! I love my two-sided pillow because now I don’t have to make a new one all the way until the Christmas decor comes out!!
Wow! Those frames are from the dollar store!?!? I’ve seen (much larger) frames just like that for tonnes and tonnes of dollars!
This is a fantastic door-hanging – you are so creative, Krista! Consider this pinned!
Hi Tara! Can you believe they are dollar store?!?! I know- I will admit that I did have to buy several more and plan to use them running down my looooong hallway above the board and batten. I am totally smitten with them. Thanks for the pin girly!
Love what you did on your front porch, especially the door hanging, so nice to see something a little different from the typical wreath. Great Job Krista!
Thank you Brenda! I like the change from the traditional wreath too… and those frames are my fave. So thrilled you visited!
so cute those frames Krista, I love how simple it was to make but love the impact it does on your front door too 🙂
I also like the pumkin banner with the Eek pillow too pretty 🙂
Thank you Ingrid!! I love how I get to switch my EEK pillow back for ‘fall’ after Halloween so I don’t have to make two!! I already have enough pillow covers to keep track of:)
Love those polka-dot pumpkins. Very very cute. I think that may be the craft I do with the kids this weekend! Thanks for the neato idea!
It is such a fun-easy (lazy??) way to do pumpkins! I bet the kids could be super creative with them Bronwyn. I don’t know if I trust my three year old with acrylic paint yet though:) Hope you are doing well!!
Adorable! Those frames are awesome!
Thanks Kelly! I bought more of them so you will be seeing another incarnation for them one of these days, indoors:)
Super cute! I love those frames. Very earthy. You always amaze me and what you can find at your dollar store, we never have anything cool like that!
Thanks Mandy! Some times I’m lucky…other times not so much. But the trick is that if you see something you like you have to grab it quickly because once stuff is gone it doesn’t always return.
This is the perfect finishing touch for your crow-tastic Halloween display! It looks like it cost a lot more…awesome project! Have a great day:) XO
Thanks Christy! I always love making things on a next-to-nil budget (as do you I know!). Such a fun challenge.
Very cute, Krista! I love how you spook-ified for Halloween! What a fun door hanging! Hope you’re having a wonderful week!
~Abby =)
Thank you so much Abby! The crows are spooky enough for me!! The skulls etc that I did inside are spookier then I have ever gone before. I wasn’t sure about them but my almost-six year old sure loves it all:)
That is sooooo cute and doable. I think I can handle that one!
Very easy!! Thanks so much for your visit and comments Sandra!
Super cute love all those polkadots!
Thank you so much Jennifer! I love polka dots:)
Hi Krista! I love your crow door hanging and the whole front porch Halloween makeover looks just great! Plus, your new photo up there looks just gorgeous! 🙂 Thanks for sharing and pinning! Have a happy Thursday!
Thank you Cindy! It was time to finally get a better picture then that terrible snapshot I had my husband take of me when I first began the blog. Ahhhh, so much better now!
