2. Arrange spiders in the giant outdoor spider web.

- Another idea is to arrange creepy-crawly spiders on the door.
- Here are a few spider Halloween decoration ideas for your spider web:
3. Put a skeleton in a chair, on a bail of straw, or hang in a giant spider web.
- Place a skeleton in a black rocking chair, folding chair, or on a bail of straw near or behind the giant Halloween spider web.
- Another idea is to wrap the life-sized skeleton up in a stretchy spider web and hang it in the giant spider web or from the ceiling.
- Or hang a Halloween corpse decoration next to it.
- Make it look like the spider has already had a delicious meal and the onlooker may be next!

near or behind the 4. Place the howling dog or wolf skeleton next to the skeleton in the chair or Below Spider Web (optional).
- A howling wolf or dog skeleton looks frightfully fun sitting next to the skeleton in the chair behind the spider web on our front porch.
- Our daughter has been obsessed with skeletons since her first Halloween. A couple that we met camping gave her the howling dog skeleton in the photographs after seeing how much she enjoyed it. They called it bones, and because the name fit so perfectly, we decided to keep it.
- My daughter loves to hide on the front porch and make bones howl when an unsuspecting onlooker walks by–lol!

5. Add a stretchy spider web (optional).
- Once all of your Halloween skeleton decorations are on the front porch or hung, arrange stretchy spider webs all over and around the scene.
- It can also be fun to wrap the skeletons and other props up with the stretchy spider web (optional.) The idea is to wrap the skeletons up to make it look like the spider wrapped them up in its web.
Boo, Who Stole Our Skelly?
The skeleton in the photograph above was the third Halloween skeleton that we purchased. Unfortunately, we had two stolen from our front porch, and we didn’t have enough stretchy spider webs to wrap the new skeleton up before Halloween night.
Because we waited until we had our Jack O’Lanterns finished on Halloween to take pictures of it, we missed the opportunity to show you how well we wrapped the first two up–you can blame the Halloween skeleton thieves for that!
We had to tie the third skeleton that we bought to the chair and tie it to the column on the front porch to protect it from getting stolen! Look at how many zip ties
my husband wrapped around the dog’s leg! He even tied a cowbell on the back of the Halloween skeleton’s head to alert our dog (and us) if anyone ever tries to take it again–lol!
