My favorite part of decorating for ANY holiday is making a garland and hanging it across my fireplace. You’d be amazed at how far a garland goes when it comes to decorating on a budget! I had a friend who literally didn’t decorate anything but her mantle for the holidays, and I still thought her house was so festive!
On that note, keep reading for my favorite DIY Halloween garlands. Many of these can be made with household craft supplies, or even just printed out!
Keep things classic with a “Happy Halloween” banner from blogger Brit + Co. Or, I’m sure you could make one yourself with a little extra burlap, and some paint! You can do it!
I’m not too terribly sure what the green balls are supposed to represent, but I am in love with this idea from The 36th Avenue. She uses foam pumpkins and cute Halloween ribbon to string together this project. Hang it from anything!
Have some cardstock, foam balls, and fishing line hanging around, just dying to be? Well, you can totally make this DIY Halloween banner from The Sweetest Occassion. Plus, if you visit her site, you’ll receive access to her bat-wing printable!

Honest to Nod shows their readers how orange yarn can be transformed into a pumpkin garland! I’m not a fan of super gory Halloween decor, so I think this garland is perfect for my home decor throughout Halloween AND Thanksgiving!
Trick or treat, candy isn’t only for visitors to eat! Use foam balls to create a fake “candy” garland. Of course, you could always use REAL candy. Who wouldn’t love a decoration that turned into a party favor? See how she did it at Jenny Batt.
If doing it yourself isn’t quite your style, World Market has you covered! Purchase this Halloween garland for virtually nothing, and stun your guests!
