Halloween garland: bats, pumpkins and ghosts in three styles

Three Halloween paper garlands to cut and string: bats along a line, paper pumpkins, a chain of ghosts. Every sheet marks its cut lines, drawn classic orange-and-black, gothic elegant, or bright kids' style. Print on card stock, cut out the shapes, and thread them on twine or ribbon. Type a different creature and the set redraws.

• a Halloween party wall or mantel decoration
• a classroom bulletin board garland
• a front-window or doorway hang
• a DIY Halloween decoration on a budget

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to assemble the garland?

Cut out the shapes along the drawn lines, punch a small hole where marked, and thread twine, ribbon, or string through in sequence.

What paper should I print on?

Card stock holds its shape best for hanging; standard printer paper works but is more likely to sag or tear.

Can I change the creature or the color?

Yes — type a direction like 'add a spider' or 'in purple and black' and the garland redraws in the same three styles.

How long is the finished garland?

Each sheet yields enough shapes for a short garland; print multiple sheets and string them together for a longer run.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
