Whether you prefer paper witch hats and skulls, or felt pumpkins, Design Space offers all sorts of options to make your own unique decorations.
Halloween Garlands and Banners
Paper garlands are a simple and fun way to liven up your mantel. Check out these festive garlands to elevate your fireplace:

These Halloween garlands use card stock to make 3D witch hats and 3D skulls which you cut, assemble, and affix onto a paper garland. The paper designs add depth and dimension, mix and match by making strands of each and drape it above your mantle or along the living room walls.

This is a twist on the classic garland, with eery letters melting above the fireplace. Have your Cricut machine do all the cutting, slide some string threw the designated holes and hang this banner above the mantel.

This banner features a “Happy Halloween” message on a pennant banner with a jack-o-lantern spacer pennant. This project cuts felt and iron-on for a cozy yet spooky vibe. Materials needed include: Iron-On, Glitter Iron-On, and felt in black, white and orange.


Couple your Halloween Garland with spooky decals for pumpkins or candy jars, and don’t forget about your doorways and windows! There are plenty of eerie elements to add an uninviting touch to your home this Halloween.

Use shades of grey cardstock or construction paper to create a layered graveyard scene that sits on your mantle. This dark and mysterious project will give your living room a chillingly cool vibe and can be created in about 30 minutes.

The perfect Halloween decor! This project cuts window bats of assorted sizes that can be made with removable vinyl or window cling. Cut out a swarm of bats and hang them up in your windows for a spooky display.



Create decals for your pumpkins, candy jars, or just about anything else you want to decorate this Halloween. Use vinyl to create a decal for a plastic pumpkin or you can use a real pumpkin too. Sugar Skull Pumpkin is another fun Halloween decal for a decorative pumpkin (or any other smooth surface) using vinyl. And you can spook up your candy jar with these Halloween Candy Container decals.
