Our Paper Chain Garland features all the classic icons of Halloween — bats, pumpkins, ghosts, skulls, and cats — so it feels festive without being scary. If you want to keep things old school, download our PDF to accordion-fold your paper and trim along the template. Or, if you have a cutting machine, download our SVG and let it do all the heavy lifting. Just remember: with the SVG, you’ll need to glue the ends together since the designs are longer than a standard cutting mat. Either way, you’ll enjoy a satisfying Halloween DIY that’s simple to make and fun to display.

We used a mix of natural and frosted papers to give our Halloween Paper Chain Garland some dimension. The contrast adds both texture and shimmer — perfect for catching the glow of an autumn sunset or twinkle lights on a crisp evening.

Since this craft comes together so quickly, you can easily make several in one sitting. Additionally, because it's so beginner-friendly it's a great project to do with your little monsters. When you're all done, stretch your garlands across windows, mantels, or down your dining table as a seasonal centerpiece. Pair it with our Halloween Party Décor for a hair-raising shindig no ghoul could forget.

So, don’t forget to invite us! We can't wait to see your Halloween Paper Chain Garlands in action. Tag #MadeWithLia or post it in our crafters’ community so we can see your spooky creation. Happy Haunting!
