In this house, we decorate for Halloween. And we go all out. With all this time spent at home with family this season, we love to make our own. We made this simple homemade ghost garland that is beyond cute, and we have confidence you can make it too!
Ghosts are an essential part of Halloween, and garlands are an essential part of decorating so they go hand in hand for this easy DIY project. Hang your garland on your banister, front porch, fence, or doorway for an added dash of that Halloween flavor in your home.
The beauty of DIY home decor is that you can customize it 100%. We made our ghosts super cute, but you don’t have to. If you’re more into the horror aspect of Halloween, feel free to spookify your ghosts! Or give your ghosts little pirate hats or vampire fangs, there’s no going wrong!
