Easy Halloween Ghost Tassel Garland Craft

So, your Halloween setup is looking pretty decent - you’ve got the pumpkins, maybe some spider webs, a skeleton or two. But... it’s missing that final touch. Something that screams, “I’m crafty and spooky.”

These yarn ghosties are a fun way to turn a plain old room into a haunted masterpiece. Plus, they’re the perfect excuse to finally use up that leftover yarn you’ve been hoarding (don’t worry, we’ve all got a stash). You can drape them over shelves, hang them across doorways, or even line them up along your bannisters for that homemade Halloween charm that looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did.

So, grab your yarn, your scissors, and maybe a cup of coffee, because once you start making these ghost tassel garlands, you won’t want to stop. Get ready to spook up your house with some homemade Halloween magic!
 

 

 

How To Make Ghost Tassel Garlands

Difficulty: Easy

 

You will need:

•  - White yarn
•  - Googly eyes
•  - Scissors
•  - Cardboard

 

Step 1:  Using a 15cm square piece of card, wrap some yarn around it 30 times.

 

 

Step 2: Slide an additional 15cm piece of yarn under the wrapped yarn and tie it in a knot.

 

 

Step 3: Slide the scissors under the yarn on the opposite end to the knot and cut.

 

 

Step 4: Tie some yarn about 2cm down from the top of the tassel to create a head shape.
​

 

Step 5: Glue on some googly eyes. 

 

 

Repeat steps 1-5 for however many ghosts you would like on the garland.

 

Step 6: Cut a 60cm piece of yarn and tie each tassel onto it, spacing as required. Trim the tassels to finish.
