If you’ve been reading The Happy Scraps for a while, then you know that I LOVE using these fun arrows to decorate my porch. They just work so perfectly! I’m so excited to share my Halloween Front Porch with you today, using these arrows. Last year I shared my Fall front porch along with my porch for Christmas. I’m excited to have some fun arrows for Halloween.
I made these the same as I made my Christmas arrows. It really is simple to do. Here is how I did it.
Paint the face of your arrows, the color that you want your letters to be. Using vinyl cut with the Cricut, you put it on where you want your letters to be. Then paint over the lettering, with the color that you want the arrow. On the Mummy Tomb one, after the white paint dries, use painters tape to make it look like a mummy, and paint the small lines gray. Once the paint is all dry, peel up the vinyl. They look great at this point, but I love me some distressing, so I went ahead and lightly sanded them.
You can’t go wrong with adding some fun ribbon to any project.
This is the first time that I’ve ever used this fun Cob Web cotton. I didn’t even realized when I purchased it, that it is glow in the dark. I can’t wait to see what that looks like.
Of course I had to throw in there my Enter if you Dare sign. It just goes so perfectly!
How do you decorate your porch for Halloween? If you have a link to a picture of it, share it in the comments, I’d love to see it, or you can always share your picture on The Happy Scraps FB page!
What were the Cricut fonts you used?
Blackletter is used for haunted house, Stamped (shorty) is used for Mummy Tomb, and Feeling Groovy is used for Frankensteins Lab. So sorry it took so long to respond.

These are adorable. Oh how I wish I had time to be crafty in my life right now LOL New babies make it not so, which is fine. I love new babies! One day I will get my craft on again!
I love them they are so cute and spooky! One of the girls doing our super Saturday is doing fall arrows tonight from wood connection. I can’t wait to make them it will be a fun project!
Do you have a template for the arrows?
No, I don’t. I purchased them from a local wood decor store.
This is so, so cute! I love the extra details you added to each sign. Thanks for linking up with Creative Spark; I’m featuring your Halloween arrows at tomorrow’s party; which goes live at 6am EST. Hope you’ll join us again!
