You can make Halloween garlands with your own hands from colored paper, cardboard, or fabric. Cut out small identical pumpkins, figures of bats and black cats according to the templates and attach them to a long ribbon using tape or glue. You can make blanks for the garland in the form of orange flags with “scaring” inscriptions.
A handmade ghost garland looks especially impressive.
1. After folding a sheet of paper several times, draw a pattern of the image so that the ghosts' handles reach the edges.
2. Cut out the ghosts, following the line of pens along the edge of the paper. Unfold paper accordion and draw eyes and mouths. Glue the individual parts of the garland. Happy Halloween!
GARLAND OF THEIR BATS
It was decided to use the materials that were lying around the house: black cardboard, wire... I think it turned out very nice.
You will need:
- cardboard;
- printer and pen;
- scissors;
- hole puncher;
- wire and wire cutters.
Step 1. Print out the mouse template and transfer the silhouette onto cardboard.
Step 2. Cut out enough pieces to make a garland. I needed 24 mice. The result was a garland in three rows. Punch holes at the tips of the wings. (This one took me about an hour. If you want to do it faster, involve the children).
Step 3. Make springs from the wire by wrapping it around a pen or pencil about seven times and then cutting it off. It will take about 8-10 inches of wire. Make as many springs as needed for the garland.
Step 4: Thread the spring through the holes. Connect the parts of the garland in this way. You can stretch the springs or compress them. Adjust the tension as you like.
Step 5: Once you've secured all the pieces together, hang the garland on the wall!
Note: if you do not have wire, connect the parts with black satin ribbon, tying it in a bow.
GHOST GARLAND
Fold the white napkin, already folded into four, in half. You can fold a regular accordion office paper, but ghost napkins turn out to be light, translucent - almost like real ones
Attach the ghost template to the folded napkin so that its sleeves extend slightly beyond the edge. Cut out. Unfold the napkin.
You should get 2 garlands of 4 ghosts each. Glue them into one. Draw faces for ghosts. Ours are good
A garland of such ghosts can be hung on a wall, you can decorate a postcard with them, and they also look good on a dark surface, for example, on a TV screen. We rarely watch ours, so they don’t bother us
To do this, attach a very small piece of tape to the sleeves of the two outermost ghosts. Then this garland is very easy to peel off and leaves no traces.
BAKING PAPER GARLAND
All you need is some baking paper of sufficient length.
Fold the paper like an accordion, draw a cast pattern on the topmost one and cut it out. Please note that the sides of the paper should not be cut, otherwise you will not end up with a garland, but many individual ghosts. You don't want this, do you?!
The child will really like to draw scary faces for ghosts)))
Here's a DIY Halloween decoration.
G IRELAND WITH BULBS
This wonderful Halloween garland can be made in one evening. After all, you don’t need any clever materials, tools or special skills.
To make a Halloween themed garland, take:
- Christmas garland(preferably with red lights)
- decorative skeletons - a few pieces are enough if your garland is not too long
- thread for tying skeletons
- scraps, ribbons or scraps of black and red fabrics.
Skeletons can be replaced with other themed figures. A garland, for example, with witches, will look much more fun.
Manufacturing process:
Distribute the skeletons evenly across the garland and tie.
Tear the flaps into short ribbons and tie them to the garland, alternating them with each other, as shown in the photo.
That's it - the garland is almost ready! All that remains is to find a place for it, hang it up and plug it into the network.
