Supplies you’ll need for your easy DIY Halloween Garland, and where to find them:

Step one: How long will your garland be?

You might have a specific place in mind where you want your garland to hang. Cut your string to however long you want your garland to be. I like to make a few strands of garland that are four to five feet so I can easily adjust them or move them about. Set your string aside.

Step two: Choosing your colors

We love Halloween colors! You can use so many variations! Orange and black, red and black, or like I’ve shown here, green, purple, black, and orange! Choose colors that get you in the holiday spirit. I do recommend cardstock, as it is sturdy. Here is a Halloween cardstock set with the perfect colors: https://amzn.to/3hr2JB4

Step three: Cutting out the circles for your easy DIY Halloween garland

I want to show you guys this amazing paper puncher. I use it for a ton of stuff all the time. It’s coming in handy here with the garland. For each circle on the garland, you’ll want to cut out two pieces of paper. So I went ahead and cut out a bunch of circles of each color. This paper puncher has a handy compartment at the bottom too so your pieces don’t go everywhere. Find it here, you’ll love it!> https://amzn.to/3z7WQ1F

Step four: Getting sticky

After you’ve got all your circles cut out with your puncher, get your string and your glue ready. Start with one circle and give it plenty of glue all the way to the edges. Lay your string across the top of it so it is sitting in the glue as well. Take another circle of the same color and lay it on top of the first circle, sandwiching the string in between. Press them together firmly and move on to the next circle, repeating the steps. You can go inn any color order you like!

Step five: The hard part

The hardest part of any DIY project is letting the glue dry! It is an essential step though. If you use the clear tacky glue recommended above, it dries fairly quickly.

Hang your amazing Easy DIY Halloween Garland up for all the spooky trick-or-treaters to see! Let your creativity bring all the spooky vibes this Halloween season!
