October 28, 2014


Today I wanted to share with you a really quick and easy halloween d.i.y decoration. It is really simple to create and only requires a few materials.

Let's get on with it...

YOU WILL NEED



  • Nylon Cord/string/ribbon
  • A pen (I used a black fine liner)
  • Scissors
  • Sellotape
  • Paper



Let's get started...


  1. Firstly, you need to decide on your halloween design. I decided to go for ghosts as they're easy to doodle and don't require and colouring if you use plain white paper. 
  2. After deciding on the design, you can begin doodling it onto your piece of paper. Make sure you leave space between each doodle as you'll need room to be able to cut around them.



3. Keep doodling until you've done as many as you need (I went for 10!)


3. Now it's time to cut those ghosts out! I decided to leave the outline visible, but if you'd prefer a cleaner look you could always cut inside the line!


4. Once you've cut them all out you then want to line them up as you'd like them to be situated on the string!


5. Next you need to cut the string to the appropriate length (but leave some excess on the ends so that you'll be able to attach it to wherever you decide to hang the decoration)



 6. The FINAL step is to cut a piece of sellotape (I cut small pieces and then cut vertically through the middle to have thin pieces of tape). Stick part of the tape on the top of the ghost and then bend the remainder over the string (ensuring that the tape is attached to the string and finish by sticking the end of the tape to the back of the ghost.
Repeat this step until every ghost is attached to the string.


And there we have it! Super easy & really cool!



 See you next time!

Take care,
Eve xx
