Fall Garland Ideas



Cut out leaf shapes from felt in various fall colors, and then cut little slits in them to string onto a piece of yarn.



Cut out shapes of different types of leaves from fabrics with quirky prints in fall colors.

String some pine cones onto ribbon with a hole puncher and metal hooks. You can find cinnamon-scented ones at the store.

Burlap has a great Fall feel to it. Combine leaf cut outs with burlap triangles.
Cut out triangles from burlap, run an iron over them, and paint stenciled letters onto the pieces. Then paint with glue to keep ends from fraying.
Use fabric glue or a hot glue gun to attach burlap triangles onto brown-ball-thingy, and simply cut off the brown balls that are in front of the burlap.

Skeleton T-shirt

 Make a rib cage pattern onto a large piece of paper. Tape pattern under shirt and trace pattern with a pencil. Then remove pattern paper from inside shirt, and cut out along traced pattern on shirt.

Tiny Pumpkin Bats

 Spray paint matte black. Glue on eyes cut out of white paper, wings and ears from black foam or paper.

Cute Halloween Treats

Easy to make witch hats. Fudge striped cookies, orange icing and a kiss... Halloween fun treat!

Not-so-easy to make chocolate covered strawberries... Mmm!
Make glow-in-the-dark icing by adding tonic water.

Rhinestone Pumpkins




 Use a hot glue gun to glue rhinestones onto a pumpkin. Spray paint glossy or matte black before attaching rhinestones for an added touch.

Front Door Cut-out


Draw an outline of a witch and cut out for front door. Use something vinyl or plastic so it is weather-resistant. Add a store-bought broom and a ribbon curling through it (I have to experiment with how to attach the broom to the door without causing any damage. Off the top of my head, I'd say try hot gluing a strong magnet to the broom handle or using some colored duct tape). Add a small child's Halloween costume cape with more curled ribbons, then add a hat buckle (cut up an old belt, just be careful it's not too heavy). Throw in some glittery stars and moon for your witch to fly through.

Sugar pumpkins, stacked as skeletons!

 Spray-paint the pumpkins matte white, brush them with silver glitter paint, and let dry; use black permanent marker to draw on their faces. Buy tombstones from the store to go behind skeletons, embellished with silver acrylic paint. Add a solid-colored tablecloth cut to the right size. Finish it off with a red and gold leafy garland, extra pumpkins lightly sprayed with gold paint, and some candles.
