No bones about it, this cute little skeleton Halloween garland will be the star of your celebration! A skeleton craft kit makes this Halloween decoration incredibly easy to make, and the yarn pom-poms add a fun pop of color! We created this simple craft for a Trick-or-Treating Dinner Party, but it would also be adorable in a classroom or as a fun little seasonal piece to hang in your kiddo's bedroom.

Begin by assembling three of the skeletons from the Halloween Skeleton Magnet Craft Kit, omitting the magnet. Be sure to attach the little trick-or-treat pumpkin!

Next, thread Black Baker's Twine through the eye of a tapestry needle. Using alternating colors and sizes, thread yarn poms onto the twine. We used 24 yarn pom-poms in white, orange, black, green and purple. Cut the end of the twine with scissors, leaving plenty on the ends to use for hanging.

Evenly space the yarn pom-poms into groups of three. Find the center of the garland and hot glue a skeleton onto the twine.

Tie the spider string to the twine, three yarn pom-poms to the right of the skeleton. Repeat with another spider, three pom-poms to the left of the skeleton. Trim the excess string with scissors.

Continue adding the skeletons and spiders, three pom-poms apart until you've used all three skeletons. Hang the skeleton Halloween garland in your party space. See how we used it in our Trick-or-Treating Dinner Party here.
