Skeletons decorations are must haves for your porch this Halloween. See how Aniko Levai of Place of My Taste<\/a>\u00a0got a little creative with skeleton decorations for the perfect mix of scary and chic for her front porch.<\/p>\n

This is Aniko\u2019s contribution to our\u00a0Halloween Style Challenge<\/a>\u00a0series here on The Home Depot Blog. Every year we invite some of\u00a0the best design and DIY bloggers<\/a>\u00a0on the internet to create Halloween- and fall-ready decor or projects using items from The Home Depot.<\/p>\n

Take a look at how easy it is to create Aniko\u2019s Beware <\/em>sign, a trick-or-treat candy box, mounted skulls, and other festive touches for the home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

My boys are typical boys and love scary stuff. They are six and eight years old and have been begging me for years to make the house spooky for Halloween. Here we are, their wish had come true. When I received two large posable\u00a0skeleton decorations\u00a0from The Home Depot to create something fun and scary for their Halloween Style Challenge, my kids were excited as they can be. The kiddos love Halloween, and this year our house will be the “cool” looking spooky house in the hood.<\/p>\n

I started brainstorming ideas immediately when I opened my large boxes. I knew that I wanted to decorate my front porch. As our regular tradition, we like to go trick or treating with the boys on our street, and I typically leave a large bowl of Halloween treats on the steps for other trick or treaters.<\/p>\n

For this year’s decor, I envisioned a spooky front porch with a large beware sign that one of the scary skeleton decoration holds onto. I would have his friend, the other skeleton, holding a giant box of candy sitting on the steps for trick or treaters.<\/p>\n
