Halloween Garland..

Here's a little look at my first 

Halloween project so far..

a little jack o'lantern garland.

It's a pretty easy project and can also be used to

make an ornament garland for Christmas!

First,

I just cut strips of paper 

they all should be the same size

and the size will vary depending on how big 

you want your pumpkins to be.

After that, 

punch a hole in either side of the strips

I have a small hole punch which works

with the size of brads that I used.

And I forgot to take pictures of the next few steps.. 

but..

You just put about 8 strips together 

and put a brad through the holes in the top

and the holes in the bottom.

When you start to fan out the strips

they will form a circle.

And then you can draw faces on them!

I strung them together on baker's twine.. 

I just wrapped the string around the brads.

Aren't they cute!

To fill in the blank space I punched out some 

scalloped paper and folded it over 

then glued it together.

And ta-da. 

a Halloween Garland.. 

fit for any fireplace or shelf.
