If you are looking for a quick and easy Halloween decoration to add to your place this year. This little floating ghost garland might just be the thing. It’s so adorable and easy to make and will add some extra whimsy to your Halloween decorations. It looks great in a window or on a fireplace, on a long piece of driftwood or even on your dining room chandelier.

All you really need for this DIY project is some thin white fabric, I used some leftover thrifted lace fabric that might have been a curtain at some point, some cotton balls, pretty twine, scissors and a black marker. This little ghost garland comes together pretty quickly and it’s a great project to make with kids.

You can add some string lights, different coloured ribbons or beads to the mix or leave it plain and white and let the shimmery lace be the star like I did this time. I used some white and gold twine and drew little eyes and mouths with marker on the ghosts as faces. If you don’t have any fabric at hand, you can also make them with tissues.

TIPS TO MAKE THE PERFECT
HALLOWEEN LACE GHOST GARLAND

Gather all your materials before you start your project.

Customize your garland to fit your decor and add different coloured strings or ribbon, beads, tassels, lights etc. to make it extra fun and playful.

Depending on your fabric you might want to double it up and lay it offset on top of each other.

Try to space out your ghosts evenly on your twine.

Enjoy the creative process just as much as the end result. Let go of any fixed ideas and be open to incorporate new materials or some you might already have at home.

INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP

Gather all your materials you will need for this project.

Cut your lace or other thin fabric into 7-inch squares, one for each ghost.

Place a cotton ball in the middle and fold one corner over to form a triangle.

Pinch the fabric underneath the cotton ball together to form a ghost.

Add a little face with black marker if you’d like.

Cut a long piece of twine or string and form a loop by making a simple knot.

Place the ghost head inside the loop and tighten it.

Repeat until all your cute little ghosts are all hanging evenly spaced out.
