5. Haunted Harvest Cornstalk Frame

Front porch doorway framed with tall dried cornstalks tied in bundles, with pumpkins at the base

Tall cornstalks framing your doorway add height, texture, and instant farmhouse energy. Tie the bundles with dark ribbon, cluster pumpkins at the base, and hang a few bats for the spooky twist on this harvest classic.

What You’ll Need

  • 2-4 bundles of dried cornstalks
  • Twine or wide dark ribbon
  • Assorted pumpkins for the base

How to Make

  1. Stand two bundles of cornstalks on each side of your doorway.
  2. Tie each bundle with twine, then again near the top.
  3. Lean the bundles slightly inward to frame the door.
  4. Cluster pumpkins at each base and hang faux bats at varied heights.
