Handmade Halloween Garland Ideas! Easy to Make with Items You Have at Home (1–10)
Artificial flower Halloween garland
This is an easy garland craft that creates a sense of the season and a festive look.
Using fine-leaf eucalyptus as the base gives a soft green feel, and adding red dried chili peppers provides a striking accent that brings out Halloween colors.
Incorporating Annabelle hydrangeas adds a fluffy volume for a luxurious appearance.
Including a stabilizer helps secure the materials and gives the entire garland a cohesive finish.
By adjusting the length and arrangement, it’s easy to display on walls or shelves, instantly transforming the atmosphere.
Because it uses artificial flowers, it’s simple to handle and store, and you can reuse it in the following years—making it practical as well.
It’s a dazzling idea that looks great and can be enjoyed for a long time.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
A stylish two-tone Halloween garland.
Starting from designing it yourself can feel intimidating, but with this video—where pre-designed letter flags are linked in the description so you can print and cut them out—you can give it a try with ease.
All you need is cardstock with the printed materials, a ruler and craft knife, a hole punch, and a ribbon—simple as that.
If you follow along step by step with the clear, close-up shots, you’ll have it finished in no time.
Handmade pumpkin garland
Combine strips of construction paper to create a simple yet cute pumpkin.
You can also make this pumpkin in different colors! If cutting the construction paper into strips feels tedious, using paper tape is recommended.
For the garland, adding other Halloween motifs in addition to pumpkins will make it even more festive.

Perler beads
Why not make Halloween ghosts and pumpkins with fuse beads and turn them into a garland? Fuse bead crafts involve placing beads on a pegboard according to a pattern and fusing them together with the heat of an iron.
For Halloween, motifs like jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts, and bats are recommended! Pause the video as needed to check the exact placement of each bead.
When making a garland, choose yarn or string that will pass through the bead holes.
You can also add letters or other elements along with the Halloween motifs to make the garland even more festive!
Felt Halloween garland
A garland with the unique warmth of felt that’s utterly adorable.
It features Halloween must-haves like ghosts, pumpkins, a witch’s hat, and a broom—sure to delight little kids.
If you have a hot glue gun, making the small pieces is a breeze.
No sewing needed: just cut out the parts and glue them together for an easy craft.
The tiny details—like the candy the ghost is holding, the twirly rose on the witch’s hat, and the broom—are irresistibly cute despite their size.
Origami Halloween garland
The charm of this garland is that it’s easy to make using just four sheets of origami paper.
Halloween colors—black, orange, purple, and gold—are ideal, but feel free to use any colors you like if you don’t have them.
You can make it with items you likely already have at home: a pencil, ruler, scissors, glue, and a hole punch, so it’s great for getting started right away.
First, cut each sheet of origami paper into thirds and connect the strips, then accordion-fold them and cut out the shapes.
When you unfold the stack all at once and cute pumpkins and little ghosts appear, you can just imagine the delighted faces of the children!
Construction paper ghost
A garland of ghosts whose slightly different expressions are delightful—each one is irresistibly cute.
While tasks like carefully measuring lengths and using skewers or an awl might be too intricate for children, activities such as cutting construction paper, applying glue, and drawing the ghosts’ faces should be fun for kids who can handle scissors.
Threading beads onto string and fine-tuning the shape of the ghosts’ hands let you craft each piece with care; it’s a process parents and children can enjoy together.
