  • Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Book Page Ghost Garland

Do you know what’s better than a store-bought Halloween decoration? The book page ghost garland is one of my absolute favorite Halloween crafts.

It’s not just about decorating – it’s about getting creative with things you already have, like those old book pages collecting dust.

So, let’s dive into how you can craft your own whimsical ghost garland that’ll bring the perfect Halloween vibes to your home in just 5 steps!

 

Materials Needed

You need to prepare:

  • Old book pages
  • Scissors
  • Black marker
  • String or twine
  • Clothespins
  • A pencil

 

Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Book Page Ghost Garland

Step 1: Selecting the Perfect Book Pages

I often dig out some old book pages from a thrifted book I’ve had lying around.

The more aged, the better – yellowed or slightly worn pages add character and make the ghosts look like they’ve floated out of a haunted library!

 

Step 2: Drawing the Ghost Shapes

Next, I grabbed a pencil and started sketching ghost outlines on the book pages. I kept it simple – a little head, arms flowing outward, and a soft, wavy base.

If you’re nervous about free-handing it, feel free to use a template, but I found it fun to see each ghost have a slightly different shape.

 

Step 3: Cutting and Adding the Spooky Faces for Ghosts

Once you’re happy with the shapes, grab your scissors and start cutting out the ghosts.

Then you can cut small holes for eyes and mouths, or even use a simple black marker to draw the faces – some spooky, some surprised, and even a few goofy ones.

 

Step 4: Attaching the Ghosts to the String

You can use clothespins to attach each ghost to a long piece of twine.

I find that leaving a little space between each ghost gave the garland a flowing, airy look, like they were really floating in the breeze.

 

Step 5: Hanging Your Garland

Finally, you only need to hang your garland in any favorite place like fireplace, window, doorway, or even along a fence outdoors.

Plus, the paper ghosts swaying gently create a soft, eerie movement – perfect for Halloween night!
