Halloween Decorations with Witches and Scarecrows

September is a month of transitioning to fall decor. Halloween decorating is close on fall’s heals. Beside Jack-o-lanterns, our favorite Halloween decorations is with witches and scarecrows.

We started collections of witches and scarecrows years ago. They always take center stage in our Halloween decor.

Need inspiration for your own collections? I’m sharing how to create Halloween decorations with witches and scarecrows.

What’s nice about decorating for Halloween is that you don’t have to take the fall decorations away. You just add to them.

Pumpkins turn into jack~o~lanterns with toothy grins. Witches come out of the closet. Scarecrows get displayed indoors and outside.


I like to review last year’s decorations before tackling this year’s. Plus it’s fun to remember how you decorated the previous year. You can decide what you want to keep and what you want to change.

TIP: Always take pictures of your seasonal decorations to save for reminiscing and evaluation.

As I mentioned, for several years, we have added a witch or scarecrow or two each year, sometimes purchasing them on vacation as souvenirs.

Which means that every year we have more witches and scarecrows to add to our collection. Some are cute and sweet, some are scary. But we love them all and they are the core of our Halloween decorations.

Witches and Scarecrows for Halloween Decorations


Let’s start this Halloween tour at our front door.

We don’t have a front porch, but we do have a little space next to the front door to set out our two of our scarecrows with some pumpkins and chrysanthemums.

These scarecrows have seen many Halloweens. It seems the older they get, the better they look.

Just FYI, I painted this pot last summer, so now it is blue.

Step over our Boo! mat into the house.

One nice thing about decorating for Halloween is that you don’t have to put up the fall decorations, just add to them.  When we unpack all our Halloween decorations, they take up the entire kitchen island.  And then they spread out into the living room and kitchen.

Witches In the Entry

I love to decorate our entry for Halloween. I recently shared how to decorate an entry for Halloween.

You can see in this photo that some of our witches play a large role in setting the spooky scene for Halloween.

These three are some of my favorites.

Halloween Witches in the Dining Room

Creating a Halloween tablescape or just a centerpiece adds a fun focal point during this season. I’ve used witches and scarecrows in many table settings. This Halloween tablescape is one of my favorites.

Halloween in the Living Room

The mantel in the living room is always a place to gather the witches. Here I’ve reused some of the witches from the entry and added more from our witch collection.

It’s the faces on many of the witches that are so appealing.

Here’s a trio of little witches. We bought the one on the left and the right in Scottsdale on vacation. When you find a great collection of witches for Halloween decorations, you have to take advantage and bring a few home. The green skin of the witch on the right reminds me of the witch in The Wizard of Oz. Love those skinny legs.

Pumpkins can have funny faces, too. I’ve left the candle looking melted rather than replace it with a new one. I like the look; again it reminds me of the witch in The Wizard of Oz: “I’m melting, I’m melting.”

Last year, a pumpkin-head man and a couple of scarecrows sat on a bookshelf.

In the Breakfast Room

On the breakfast room table, I used my Remington Sure Shot box as a container for sunflowers and mums with raffia as filler surrounded by mini-pumpkins.

The greenery is bay leaves a friend gave me.  I love the rustic look of the arrangement.

I used my little chalkboard for some Halloween signage. This year, I am really working on my hand lettering skills so my signs will look better.

This broom handle is one of our favorite Halloween decorations. It wiggles around and sings a song when you make a loud noise. It can scare you a bit.

On the breakfast room chandelier, I hung some party fans that I bought at a Pinner’s Conference several years ago.

Thanks for dropping in to see my Halloween decorations and meeting some of our witches and scarecrows. I hope you will save this post to your favorite Pinterest Boards.
