DIY Ghost Garland
The simplest way to decorate around your home this Halloween season is making your own DIY Ghost Garland!
Looking for a budget-friendly and adorable Halloween decoration? This DIY ghost garland is the perfect mix of spooky and cute—and the best part is you only need four simple supplies: yarn, hot glue, jute rope, and beads. In just under an hour, you’ll have a handmade Halloween garland that’s perfect for your mantel, doorway, or party backdrop.
Supplies You’ll Need:
- White, Pink, Purple yarn (for the ghosts, or any colors of your choosing)
- Hot glue gun + glue sticks
- Jute rope (for the garland base)
- Black or brown beads (for extra decor on the garland)
- Scissors
Step 1: Make the Yarn Ghosts
Cut a bundle of yarn about 10–12 inches long. Wrap the yarn around your hand or a small piece of cardboard until you have a thick bunch. Carefully slide it off and tie a small piece of yarn near the top to form the ghost’s “head.”
Step 2: Shape the Ghost
Snip the loops at the bottom so the yarn hangs freely like fringe. Add a dab of hot glue to secure any loose pieces, giving your ghost a nice rounded head and flowing “sheet.”
Step 3: Add the Eyes
Use hot glue to attach two small black pieces of yarn for eyes. This instantly transforms your yarn tassel into a friendly (or spooky) ghost!
Step 4: Assemble the Garland
Cut your jute rope to the desired garland length. Space out your ghosts evenly and hot glue them along the rope. Leave extra rope at each end so you can easily hang your garland on a mantel, wall, or porch.
Step 5: Hang and Enjoy
Your DIY yarn ghost garland is ready! Hang it across your fireplace, drape it along a staircase, or add it to your Halloween party décor for a handmade touch.
