Wow! Can you believe it’s already time to decorate for Halloween? (At least at my house, it is.) I am pretty excited this year. Not only is Halloween one of my favorite holidays, I also think The Boy might actually enjoy trick-or-treating this time around. He is turning 2 this month :)
I decided to make another Halloween garland. I think I have a thing for garlands…
This one says “Bats & Boos & Goblins & Ghouls.”
It was quite easy to make, too. I just used a 2″ hole punch, cut a few letters out of scrapbook paper, a pile of various colored paint chips and a scrap of yarn.
To make my letters, I traced around some chip board letters and cut them out, but this would be perfect if you have a Silhouette.
To make this garland, I punched out a bunch of circles using paint chips and glued the letters on the top piece with white school glue. (If you are very careful, you can get 3 circles out of one paint chip). Once the glue dried, I put a bit of hot glue on the opposite circle and sandwiched the yarn in between two circles, glueing the yarn in place and the two circles together at once.
Pretty simple :)
Also, starting this month, I have joined with some incredible bloggers to bring you a round-up of themed posts. At the beginning of each month, you will get a healthy dose of fun craft projects and yummy recipes, yay! Of course, this month is all about Halloween and Autumn.

This is so cute! I haven’t made a garland for Halloween, but this is such a great idea I might try it! Thanks for sharing:)
Very cute!
Thank you, Alexis!
Very cute! Loving the colors and the saying!
So cute! I love the colors that you used!
That’s adorable! I always seem to forget about the garlands, but they’re such a simple way to add a little festive decoration for any holiday.
Bethany, this is DARLING! I love the words you used! You are sooo creative to come up with that on your own! SOO CUTE! xoxo-Brook
So cute! We didn’t start celebrating Halloween for a while when my girls were first born. I love how sensitive they are and that they don’t like scary things. But it’s always great to introduce the fun side of Halloween to them. And that banner is definitely fun!
Thanks so much, Cat! My decorations are pretty mild, I don’t do anything scary, it’s mostly just cutesy stuff, haha!
