One of the most common decorations for Halloween is a garland of all kinds of figures made from paper with your own hands. The Halloween garland will consist of six figures - a spider, a pumpkin, a skull, a bat, a ghost and a witch.

• Double-sided half-cardboard in red, yellow and black
• Black waxed cord
• Scissors
• Pencil

Step-by-step photo lesson:

To create the figures, we take three colors of paper. One color will be for two figures. So, on red paper we draw the silhouettes of a pumpkin and a skull, on yellow paper - a ghost and a spider, on black paper - a bat and a witch in the form of a cap.

We cut out the required number of each figure along the contour.

Some figures have small and very important elements in the middle. So we take a utility knife or small scissors. Carefully cut out eyes and a nose in the skull, eyes and a mouth in the pumpkin, and small eyes in the bat.

Now let's measure the length of the black cord. Let's calculate both the size of each figure and the size of the gap between them.

First of all, we will glue a witch in the form of a black cap to the garland. Apply glue to the back of the figure and attach the cord.

Then we glue on the red skull.

Next will be a yellow spider, which has eight thin legs. Because of this, it must be carefully glued so as not to damage one of them.

Then, after the yellow spider, we add to our paper garland a black bat, a red pumpkin figurine and a yellow ghost.

All the figures are already glued, so we can firmly say that the Halloween garland of six figures is ready.

What could be simpler and faster than a paper garland if you need to decorate for the holiday? Halloween is just around the corner, so today we will make a simple Halloween garland out of paper.

Garlands make the decoration truly festive. Their production does not require special preparation, and you can cut out blanks on long evenings right in front of the TV. Many identical elements create a harmonious decor, fill the space and make it truly festive.

Halloween garland - materials and tools

The beauty of this project is that it does not require any special materials. Everything is extremely simple and understandable even for an untrained handmaker.

• Black and orange paper
• Strong thread or rope
• Scissors
• Simple pencil
• Printer (if possible)
• Hot glue (if possible)
• Paper tape or masking tape.

Garland for Halloween - progress of work

Most of the time will be spent on tracing and cutting out the blanks for the Halloween garland from paper. Look at it as meditation in action. It is at such moments that the brain is distracted, thoughts calm down and...

1. First, print out or hand-draw templates for the Halloween garland. Templates can be downloaded.

2. Cut out the templates, trace them on colored paper with a simple pencil and cut out blanks for the garland. I added more triangular flags that fit nicely into the leftover orange paper.

3. Heat up the hot glue, cut the rope to the required length and glue the flags onto it.

4. Figures cut out according to templates can be glued to the rope using paper tape. This way it will be easy to tear them off to use again, and you won’t have to make holes in the blanks.

5. I collected several horizontal garlands and one vertical one.

If you need to really quickly prepare for the holiday, make a paper garland. You can involve your children, friends or loved ones in cutting out blanks and have a great time.

A garland of cute ghosts can be made for Halloween or a themed party. Little ghosts look very cute. And they're not scary at all.

To make them we will need:

• white napkins;
• threads;
• cotton wool;
• pictures (optional).

Progress

The napkin must be laid out and a piece of cotton wool placed in the center. It is more convenient to use, of course, ready-made cotton balls. But if they are not there, then you can get by with ordinary cotton wool.

Then you need to wrap the cotton ball in a napkin and wrap it with thread. This will be the head of the ghost.

Several such casts need to be made. Their number will depend on the desired length of the garland. All you have to do is draw eyes (or a face) on the ghost with a felt-tip pen and string them on a thread.
I alternated ghosts with thematic pictures.

Such ghosts can be strung on large bamboo skewers. Then you can either decorate flower pots or use them to decorate a holiday table.

By the way, the stand for ghosts can also be made in the form of a ghost. To do this, I used a cardboard tube from paper towels (read the articles and for what else can be made from cardboard tubes). I painted it white and drew a face. The result was “just a charming ghost.” 🙂

There is never too much decoration. Especially when it comes to Halloween. Therefore, we suggest adding a new decoration to your decor - a DIY Halloween garland. The main thing is that everything is simple and clear, even a first-grader can handle it.

How to make a DIY Halloween garland from paper

To work you will need:

• cardboard or pastel paper in orange and black;
• scissors;
• scotch;
• black ribbon or thread from knitting yarn;
• a simple pencil;
• template for printing;
• Printer.

Garland for Halloween: step-by-step work plan

Get ready for the fact that you will have to trace a lot and cut out exactly the same number of blanks from paper. Therefore, perceive this long process as meditation, a certain ritual that helps you take a break from social networks. At such moments, the brain will be distracted, and see what new ideas it will come up with for Halloween decoration. So let's get down to business.

1. We print the blanks according to the template.

1. We cut out the printed templates and trace them on colored paper. Then we cut out all this beauty. By the way, you can also add checkboxes.
2. If you don’t have a glue gun at home, all the blanks can be glued with double-sided tape.

This is what the reverse side of the workpiece looks like

3. Combine the arrangement of the figures according to your taste. This is how you can simulate curtains from paper garlands for Halloween.

How to Make Halloween Decorations

✔ Bats

You need to prepare: black paper, scissors, double-sided tape, thread, printer or pencil.

How would this holiday be complete without flying vampires!? We print bats on black paper (using the templates below) or draw them by hand. We cut it out and attach it to walls, doors and windows using double-sided tape. Mice can be hung by their wings on threads from a chandelier or door handles.

✔ Ghost shadow or dark silhouette

You need to prepare: black paper, pencil, scissors, double-sided tape.

If there are steps in the house, you can create the effect of a frozen ghost. To do this, we take sheets of black paper, and on each of them we draw a part of an ominous shadow, then we cut out the elements of the future ghost and attach them to the end parts of the steps (see photo). I think you won’t have any problems with the body when drawing (just draw a shapeless robe), but the profile of the head may not work out, so below is the silhouette of a female and male head.

✔ Mummies from the crypt

You need to prepare: full-length mannequins, bandages, strong tea.

We soak the bandages in strong tea, then dry them, and wrap the mannequins, not forgetting to leave the ends of the bandages hanging carelessly (as if they had been frayed by time). Mummy mannequins can be laid down or placed near a wall.

✔ Halloween decorations - garden wheelbarrow with bones

You need to prepare: garden wheelbarrow, soil or sand, plastic bones.

If you plan to celebrate Halloween in a country house, then in addition to the house, you can also decorate the garden plot. We go to a prank store, buy a bag of plastic dice, fill a garden wheelbarrow with soil or sand, into which we casually bury the plastic dice.

✔ Zombies buried in the ground

You need to prepare: old trousers, jeans or trousers, socks, thread, sand.

Another interesting element for courtyard decor. We sew up each trouser leg from the bottom with threads, fill them with sand, sew them up at the top, put socks on the resulting legs, and place them upside down on the lawn.

✔ Zombie pumpkins for the plot

Need to find: pumpkins, knife, spoon, street candles.

Using a knife, we cut off the lid on top of the pumpkin, scoop out the pulp with a spoon, use a knife to cut out creepy faces on the side of the pumpkin, place street candles inside, close the lid, and find a suitable place for them near the house!

✔ Ominous pumpkins for the home

Need to buy: pumpkins, black spray paint or marker, face templates and tape.

Using tape, we attach a template-face to the side of the pumpkin, and paint the template part with black spray paint. The resulting pumpkins can be placed around the house - on the floor, tables, window sills, mantelpieces.

✔ Glamorous pumpkins

Transparent glue moment or glue gun, rhinestones of different sizes, a small plastic spider.

Using glue, we attach rhinestones in the form of a web to the pumpkin, and somewhere on top we attach a plastic or rubber spider.

✔ Mummy pumpkin

You need to prepare in advance: pumpkin, bandages, toy eyes, glue moment.

We wrap the pumpkin in bandages, not forgetting to secure the toy eyes on the penultimate layer using instant glue. You can partially cover the bandages with red gouache, then the pumpkin will turn out a little more scary! Halloween photo decoration

✔ Faces on toilet paper

Need to purchase: toilet paper rolls, black paper, scissors, glue.

We cut out interesting faces from black paper (see photo below), and attach the resulting elements to toilet paper rolls with glue.

✔ Witch hat for cocktails

You need to prepare: black paper, a compass or two round glasses of different diameters, scissors, paper glue, a toothpick.

On black paper we draw with a compass two circles of different diameters, leave the larger one as the base of the hat, cut the smaller one in half and roll it into a cone (coat the side line of the cone with glue), after which we turn the lower part of the cone inward and also coat it with glue, then glue the cap to the base of the hat. Finally, we pierce the base of the cap with a toothpick and decorate cocktails, snacks or just plates with the resulting product.

✔ Skull masks

You must first prepare: white paper, pencil, scissors, tape, long wooden skewer.

Using a pencil, draw the outline of the skull (see photo below), cut it out with scissors, and glue a skewer to the base of the mask with tape. It turns out a mask with a handle. By the way, anyone can paint such masks with colored markers to their liking. You can even hold a competition for the most spectacular mask!

✔ Decorative broom

You need to stock up: scissors, coarse rope, thin branch.

We take a coarse rope, fold it in half, cut it with scissors, apply the resulting bristles to a thin stick, and tie it with the same coarse rope. Such miniature decorations can be placed around the house or to decorate plates for the table.

✔ Footprints around the house

You should prepare: black paper, printer, scissors, double-sided tape.

We print out the footprints on a printer (template below), cut them out and distribute them throughout the house - the floor, walls, furniture.

✔ Witch table or putting shoes on the table legs

You should prepare: shoes with pointed toes, striped knee socks.

We pull striped knee socks onto the table legs, and put old boots on them. That's it, the witch's table is ready!

✔ Templates for home decor

We print or redraw the templates, cut them out and glue them wherever we can stick something with double-sided tape (windows, doors, walls, refrigerator, beds, chairs, tables). Examples of patterns are presented below (black cats, witches hats, spiders and ghosts).

✔ Ghosts

How can we do without ghosts? After all, they add a special flavor. I bring to your attention some simple ideas for making ghosts.

A ghost from a book. We cut out the silhouette of a ghost on a book page (we don’t cut it all the way, we leave the sheet intact at the base), and bend it up.

Napkin ghost. We take a napkin, put something round inside - a large bead or a small nut, wrap a thread around the improvised head, draw eyes and a mouth with a marker, and hang the ghost from the chandelier.

Ghost from whatman paper. We take whatman paper, draw the outline of a ghost, cut it out with scissors, draw eyes, nose and mouth with a marker, attach the product to the wall with tape.

✔ Witch's supplies

Need to prepare: glass jars of different sizes, paper, pen or pencil, scissors, lighter, toy fingers or dried grass, dyes, water, glue.

Here, in general, everything is very simple, colored water is poured into the jars, and a label with the name of the potion is glued to the end of the glass container. It could be a potion of oblivion, a love potion, a potion of good luck. You can also pour crushed dried herbs into jars and label the labels according to its name.

✔ Black spiders

Should be prepared: cones, black spray paint, white beads, moment crystal glue, pom-poms, black chenille wire.

First you need to paint the pine cone black, glue a pom-pom head to it, glue beaded eyes to it, and legs made of chenille wire to the body.

✔ Egyptian mummies

You need to prepare: ready-made doll toys or wire, rag tape or bandage.

In the case of a doll, you just need to wrap the toy with a bandage. You can also make a mummy from wire - creating a frame with legs, arms and a head, and then wrapping it all in several layers of bandage or white textile tape.

✔ Spider webs (web)

You need to prepare: disposable plate, hole punch, woolen threads, scissors.

We cut out the central part of the plate with scissors, use a hole punch to create many holes along the edges, into which we then thread a woolen thread, intertwining the threads with each other.

✔ Wreaths on the door with snakes

You should prepare: willow vine, toy snakes, hot glue gun, black spray paint.

We form a ring from the branches, then glue many small snakes to its end part, and finally paint the product with black paint.

✔ Ominous predictions (exclusively for decoration)

You need to prepare: cups for tea or coffee, brewing tea or ground coffee, PVA glue, skewer, brush.

You can make a prediction from Harry Potter with makeup; to do this, draw an outline of the makeup in a cup of tea with a brush, and immediately sprinkle it with tea leaves and leave it to dry. You can do the same with ground coffee.
