Making your own Halloween banners need not be difficult. All you’ll need is black paper, a ball of string, scissors and orange paper. Once you have these, think of a spooky phrase that you want to craft.

This should go with the overall theme that you want for your Halloween, if possible. Great inspirations are movies or even books. Then make as many Halloween banners as you need to decorate the rooms of your home.

The branches also have to be bare for maximum effects. You can then decorate these with spooky stain glass. They’ll look really fun and go with the Halloween theme when placed around your home.
