Handmade Halloween Garland Ideas! Easy to Make with Materials You Have at Home (11–20)
Simple Halloween garland
How about jazzing up a simple, stylish triangular flag garland with Halloween must-haves like pumpkins, ghosts, and bats to boost the spooky mood? All you need are origami paper, clear tape, scissors, glue, a black pen, and so on.
Since it’s basically easy folding and cutting, even small children will enjoy making it together.
You can stick the ghosts, pumpkins, and other pieces anywhere you like, and it’s fine to draw faces on them, too! Let the kids take the lead so they can enjoy the fun of creating.
Ghost Garland
How about a uniquely arranged garland featuring ghosts—the stars of Halloween? All you do is wrap a ping-pong ball in a thin, gauze-like fabric like a teru-teru bozu, so it’s easy for anyone to make! Stick on some googly eyes and you’ll have a bunch of playful little ghosts.
Make lots and clip them onto a string, and your room will instantly feel like Halloween! If you’re looking for a cute yet slightly unconventional garland, be sure to check this out.
tassel garland
How about a tassel garland for your Halloween decorations? It’s easy to make—just cut and tie—so it’s great even if you’re not very crafty! Use fabrics in Halloween theme colors like orange, yellow, black, gray, and white.
Cut the fabric into strips about 20 cm long and 2 cm wide, fold each strip in half, and tie it onto a string.
Upcycling old clothes is fun, too.
Get together with family and friends, decorate with lots of excitement, and make it a special Halloween party!
mini lantern
How about using mini lanterns featuring Halloween motifs like jack-o’-lanterns and ghosts as a garland idea? These cute, palm-sized lanterns will instantly give your room a Halloween vibe if you make a bunch of them by hand! It’s a craft where you attach colored construction paper—slit with a craft knife—to a toilet paper roll core, so it should be fun to make together with kids.
You can customize them by drawing any faces you like or changing the paper colors to create ghost lanterns, too!
autumn leaves
Why not try making felt wreaths, swags, and garlands that look like they came from a stylish home décor shop? Felt has a soft, airy texture, but you can easily create all kinds of decorations just by attaching pieces with a hot glue gun—no sewing required.
The autumnal colors are beautiful and will stand out in your room during the festive Halloween season.
You’ll need items like wire and floral tape, so be sure to check your materials before you get started!
pumpkin ghost
A garland that boosts the party mood and delights the kids.
The expressive, adorable little ghosts have a charming, handmade feel to each and every one of them.
You’ll make them carefully one by one using glue, colored construction paper, lace thread, and beads, with simple tools like cotton swabs and chopsticks.
It’s nice to take your time with a division of tasks—children can cut the colored paper into loops and link them together, while adults handle the hole-punching.
If you store the finished, cute pumpkin ghosts with care, you’ll be able to enjoy them next year and the year after, for a long time to come.

Halloween garland made with yarn and toilet paper rolls
This is a garland that uses toilet paper rolls to take your Halloween vibe up a notch.
First, cut the toilet paper roll in half and apply double-sided tape so the yarn will stick easily.
Then wrap yarn in Halloween colors—orange, purple, and black—around it.
Next, glue on triangle eyes and cat ears made from black origami paper, plus eyeballs made from round stickers, and you’re done.
Thread them onto a string and enjoy decorating your room with a cute garland full of Halloween spirit!
