This DIY Halloween party decor project guides you through creating bat and ghost cutouts, a "HEY BOO" cake bunting, and a textured yarn wall hanging on a birch log. Tassel ghosts and matching favor tags with googly eyes tie the whole look together for a festive, handmade celebration.

You'll need

Colored cardstock – I chose a color palette of pink, gold, orange with a hint of black

Wood Skewers

White Twine

Various colors of yarn

Yarn and tassel Maker

Birch Log

Directions

Using a Cricut machine, cut bat and ghost shapes from cardstock in your chosen palette of pink, gold, orange, and black.

Assemble a "HEY BOO" cake bunting, bat-shaped cake picks, and a few ghost garlands by attaching the cut paper shapes to wood skewers and white twine.

Place the paper decorations on a cake, add some candy corn for extra flair, and set the cake on a cute cake stand.

For each color of yarn, cut 12 pieces measuring 48 inches long.

Fold each yarn piece in half, loop the folded end around a birch log, and pull the loose ends through the loop to tighten. Repeat this process until the log is nearly covered.

Create "tassel ghosts" from white yarn using a yarn and tassel maker tool.

Secure the tassel ghosts by tying them near the top of the yarn wall hanging.

Finish by adding matching printable favor tags adorned with googly eyes and mini paper bats to name cards, tying all the decor elements together.
