17 Awesome DIY Halloween Garlands

awesome diy halloween garlands

So, if you’re still scrambling for some last-minute Halloween décor ideas, I’ve got just the thing! Trust me, garlands are a total lifesaver. They’re versatile, super easy to make, and can instantly transform a room, whether you hang them across your mantle or out on the porch. Plus, they’re the kind of project that’s almost impossible to mess up—believe me, I’ve tried.

One trick I’ve learned? Layering different textures. You can mix paper shapes with yarn or even fabric scraps. Last year, I made a garland using black and orange pom-poms alongside paper ghosts, and honestly, it looked so good I ended up leaving it up way past Halloween. The combo of soft, fluffy pom-poms and crisp paper shapes added a little extra something.

So go ahead, give it a try. Whether you’re into spooky or cute, these garlands will totally get your space Halloween-ready in no time!
