We’re keeping things simple today with this DIY Halloween paper garland craft idea using our free Halloween character printable template.
DIY Paper Garland for Halloween
Does this witches hat, ghostie and lil’ bat look familiar? Well it should because we used the same designs from our paper Halloween clothespin craft to make this super easy and fun paper garland.
We shared the tutorial for making this garland on a recent Facebook Live video which you can find here. It’s comes together really quickly requiring just a few supplies (see below). We love these types of paper crafts because they can also be done entirely by kids or with your help for the younger kiddos.

DIY Halloween Paper Garland
Download the halloween printable and send it to print. Print out in color, maintaining the size and scale.
Using a pair of paper scissors, cut around the images as close to the outline as possible. I left a bit of an uneven border as there’s no need to worry about perfection with this craft!
Layer the printouts for each image and glue the layers together, sandwiching the ribbon in between the layers.
Space the images about 5” apart until you’re happy with the length of the garland.
Add some small bows in coordinating colors in between each printout for extra color and fun.
