Cute ghosts and creepy bats are paired with colorful wooden beads to create this DIY Halloween Garland. Hang the garland on your mantel or use it to decorate the food table at your Halloween party.
Use a tiny drop of hot glue to lightly secure Round Unfinished Wood Beads to a Bamboo Skewer. Paint the beads with a flat-bristled paintbrush and acrylic paint. Once the beads are dry, remove the beads from the skewer.
Use a flat-bristled paintbrush and acrylic paint to paint the DIY Unfinished Wood Bat Shapes.
Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge® with a Sponge Paintbrush. While the Mod Podge® is still wet, sprinkle on glitter that matches your acrylic paint. We used the black glitter from the American Crafts Moxy Chasing Rainbow Extra Fine Glitter pack. Allow time for the bat to dry.
Paint the ghost shape from the DIY Unfinished Wood Halloween Shapes with acrylic paint and allow time for the paint to dry. Use a fine point marker to draw on the fine details on the ghost.
String painted beads, unpainted beads, orange and Light Pink Yarn Pom Poms onto a length of Black Baker’s Twine, tying the end of the twine in a loop to secure in place. Use hot glue to adhere the painted ghosts and glittered bats onto the baker’s twine.
Hang your finished garland on your mantel to add a bit of whimsy to your Halloween décor. Pair it with the DIY Cute Ghost Garland for the perfect kawaii combo.
