This outdoor Halloween decor was featured on Martha's website a few years ago. Marilyn tried it first, then Jill and so I had to do it too. The plans are here.

Here's how it looks in the daytime to give you a better idea.




The sunlight captures the wood-grain but they look really cool at night. My neighbor said when he goes for a walk at night, his dog thinks the cats are real. ☺

The plans are really easy to follow. The only change I would make is to use black spray paint instead of brush painting. It's much faster and way less messy.
I got my lantern at Big Lots for $6 and the broom at Walmart for $2.50 (it was brown, I painted it black).
