Because garlands and hanging decorations fill the space at height, they create a rich Halloween atmosphere with little effort, one that guests feel the moment they walk in. Here you will find spooky decorations to hang, stretch and stick, from cute for a children's birthday and magical for wizard fans to a full-blown horror show for grown-ups. Whether a subtle touch of fright or an abundant display: the little details make all the difference.
Spider webs, bats, skeletons and wizards: the range
Spider webs are the classic of every Halloween decoration. You can get them in white, black, purple, orange and gold, along with black spider web decorations and a gold spider web decoration. The webs are inhabited by plastic spiders and hanging spiders. Bat fans will find bat garlands in black and gold, hanging bats, paper bat decorations, a honeycomb bat decoration, the Happy Halloween bat decoration and a bat fringe curtain.
Goosebumps are guaranteed by the hanging skeleton decoration, skull decorations in black and gold, a garland of 12 bloody tools and bloody Halloween stickers. The Halloween garlands in orange and in black and gold plus a hanging Halloween decoration add lettering. Magic comes with the wizard garland, wooden wizard decorations and the Harry Potter Hogwarts Houses Happy Birthday garland, ideal when a birthday falls around Halloween. There is also a black bunting garland, a gold fringe garland and a gold party curtain.
Inspiration: how to make your Halloween decorations work
- Stage the entrance: a skeleton or spiders on the front door, cobwebs on the door frame and bats welcome guests and show trick or treat children that they may ring the bell here. A balloon arch covered in cobwebs at the garden gate adds to the eerie mood.
- Think vertically: hang bat garlands at different heights above the buffet and add a few single bats. This creates a swarm that seems to flutter above everyone's heads, and floating ghost foil balloons filled with helium complete the spectral touch.
- Zombies and the undead: a skull on the shelf, the bloody tools garland and bloody stickers on a mirror, a window or as a trail on the floor: every corner hides a gruesome surprise.
- Spooky or elegant: black, anthracite, purple and blood red look sinister, while black with gold suits a stylish party for adults. Dimmed lighting and dark curtains enhance both looks.
- Photo wall: fringe curtains in front of doors or the gold party curtain on a wall become the backdrop for souvenir photos.
How to: putting up spider web decorations properly
- Stretch the webs: before hanging, slowly pull the spider web wide apart in all directions and tease it thin. The finer and more see-through it is, the more real it looks, and within minutes walls, ceilings and corners are mysteriously wrapped in webs.
- Choose anchor points: corners, lamps, shelves, banisters and plants are ideal. Rough surfaces hold the web on their own, while a little masking tape helps on smooth ones.
- Place the spiders: put the plastic spiders at the edge of the web or let a few dangle from a thread.
- Use light: white webs in front of fairy lights glow beautifully. Always keep webs and paper decorations away from candles and hot bulbs, though.
Combination ideas and buying tips
Hanging decorations show their full effect when they work together with the room. Repeat the colours of the garlands on the table, for example with paper plates and napkins from Halloween table decorations & tableware. Measure walls and door frames in advance so that garlands are neither too short nor sagging, and mix large eye-catchers such as the skeleton or fringe curtain with lots of small details. Garlands, bunting and paper bats can usually be reused several times if taken down carefully: roll them up loosely after the party, put spider webs in a box and store everything dry, and your basic kit will be ready for next year. For a Harry Potter birthday party in October, combine the Hogwarts Houses garland with bats and black cobwebs.
Frequently asked questions about Halloween garlands and hanging decorations
How do I attach spider web decorations?
Drape the stretched web over corners, furniture edges or branches, where friction usually holds it in place. On smooth walls or windows, masking tape, removable adhesive dots or small hooks help.
How do I hang garlands without damaging the walls?
Use removable adhesive dots, masking tape or small hooks. On door frames and curtain rods you can also simply tie garlands in place.
Can I hang the decorations outdoors?
Under a porch roof, yes. Rain and wind damage paper and fine webs, so bring paper decorations back inside after the party.
Are the hanging decorations suitable for a children's party?
Yes, choose friendly designs such as bats, orange garlands, colourful spider webs or the wizard garland and leave out the bloody tools and stickers.
When should I start decorating?
Many people decorate their homes from mid-October. For a party, hang garlands and spider webs one or two days beforehand so there is time for the buffet on the day.
