Can there be too many Halloween decorations? Absolutely. From the giant Home Depot skeleton to the 5-foot Party City skeleton to the Michaels Crafts Happy Hallow shopping table, there are plenty of fun and scary trends coming this year. Add some cemetery decor and you'll be in style!
While anyone can buy spooky holiday decorations, making them yourself can be more fun and rewarding. In particular, there's a DIY Halloween decor project that's going viral, and you can make it today! Blogger Emily Price of The Price Adventure created these amazing ghost garlands that are simple, inexpensive, custom and can be made in less than an hour . Also, once you get the hang of this technique, you can create different color combinations that go way beyond Halloween, like birthdays and other holidays.
Below you will find everything you need to make beautiful Price ghost garlands (hang anywhere!). If you're into needlework, check out some great Halloween decorating ideas you can make at home.
Ghost Garland Accessories:
- Thread of two colors
- scissors
- Book or piece of cardboard
Volunteer :
- Eyes narrowed
- Black construction paper, drill and hot glue gun
- pom poms
- small pom poms
- beads
First step:
Wrap the thread 35-50 times the width of the book. If you don't have a book, the cardboard box is the length and width of a book. Cut the thread, but leave it wrapped around the book.
Second step:
Gather the top of the thread. Cut a small piece of thread 10 cm long. Pass a small piece of thread through the top of the bundle and tie it into a knot. This is the loop you will use to hang your dream on the wall or anywhere! Now carefully take your dream out of the book.
Third step:
Cut another small piece of wire about 10 inches. Attach this piece to the wire harness about ¼ of the way from the top. This creates the head of the ghost. Use the same body color or a contrasting color depending on the look you want. White or orange ghosts with black necks are a classic choice for Halloween, but any color combination or monochrome looks great.
Optional: You can put a pom-pom on the ghost's head to make it more expressive, but it doesn't have to be a pretty ghost. If you're planning on giving ghosts for Halloween, place a pom-pom over your head before tying your neck.

Fourth step:
Insert scissors into bottom wire loop and cut. This creates a border on the ghost's body.
Step five:
Create the eyes of your dreams using your favorite technique. If you don't have extra material, cut two small pieces of yarn and tie them to the yarn pieces on the ghost's head.
Optional: If you want to take your project to the next level, use a hot glue gun to attach little pom poms for eyes. Or use a hole puncher to cut out small circles to glue them on. You can even add a nose!
Sixth step:
Tie your dreams to a long piece of yarn to make a wreath (optional: add beads to your dreams for a boho twist). It's all! Hang it anywhere in your home to create a stylish and elegant DIY Halloween decoration.
