This beaded Halloween garland is so easy to make and fully customizable. I used wood beads, skulls, and pumpkins to create a 30-inch garland decor.

Items Needed for Skull Halloween Garland:
Step One: Cut your twine
My garland is 30 inches long but you can make it as long as you would like.
If you are going to add a tassel or tag to the end, be sure to leave room for it
Step two: Bread your garland Patten
The next step is to tread your knitting needle through your twine. Tie a large knot on the end of the string.
Tip: If you don’t have a knitting needle, simply thread your regular needle into some string and tie it to your twine.
The Bead pattern is as follows:
- 1 large bead
- 3 small beads
- 1 large bead
- 1 skull
- 1 large bead
- 3 small beads
- 1 large bead
- 1 pumpkin
Step Three: Thread your breads
Begin adding your beads, Skulls, and Pumpkins.
Try to insert the needle into the center of your skulls and pumpkins. You may need some players to push in and pull out the needle.
The completed Halloween garland has 3 Skulls, 3 Pumpkins, and 35 beads.
Step Four: Cover your skulls
My foam skulls from the dollar tree had glitter on them and I didn’t want them to get spray paint on them.
Use a piece of paper and some tape to cover them before painting.
Step Five: Cover your skulls
Take your garland outside and spray paint it.
I used a comb to hold the end of the string allowing me to rotate it and spray all the sides without touching the beads.
I Love this skull garland with a touch of glitter. Halloween Garland is super trendy this year and are perfect for placing over a candle or some books on your coffee table! Be sure to tag me on Instagram if you were inspired by this project and create one of your own.
