This simple Halloween garland is so satisfying to make and looks adorable. It comes together really quickly requiring just a few supplies and complement other Halloween decorations such as our paper bag ghost and Halloween tiered tray.

We love these types of paper crafts because they can also be done entirely by kids or with your help for the younger kiddos.
