Beware Halloween Garland
‘Happy Halloween, BOO, Spooky’ are some of the more common banner garlands used during Halloween. However, if you plan on being a little different from your neighbors, try ‘Beware’ Halloween garland this festive season. Chipboard letters, paper doilies, black glitter, black acrylic paint, and glue are some common items you’d be required to make in this DIY. In my personal opinion this would suit your fireplace and can even be placed on any door you please.
