Vintage Retro Halloween Hanging Banner Garland

Under ten dollars, and it does more work than anything else here. The panels carry 1920s-style trick-or-treat illustrations - crescent moons, owls, a jack-o-lantern drawn rather than photographed - strung on jute rather than ribbon, so the whole thing reads as paper folk art instead of party-store plastic. Across a mantel, a bookshelf edge or a kitchen window it gives you the one thing a shelf of ceramic pumpkins cannot: something at eye level. It folds flat into an envelope for next year. Over five hundred reviews at 4.7 stars.

Good to know: Card stock, so it will not survive a porch in the rain, and the string runs long enough that you will want to gather it with a knot rather than hang it at full width on most mantels.
