Halloween 2025: How to suspend decorations mid-air?

Want to turn your home into a spooky castle atmosphere during Halloween? Then suspending candles, creepy creatures, ghosts and more, mid-air is a must. Now, if you have often visited places and seen the same display, here’s the secret behind it that you can apply in your own house.

How to suspend Halloween decorations mid-air?

For all the other-worldly and floating effects to suspend a colony of bat, witches on broomsticks, ghosts and more, here’s what you can do.

Use a fishing line

Fishing lines are inherently strong, almost invisible and easy to manage. If you are a beginner then this is the go-to step for you. All you need to do is tie the fishing line around the object of display, take the other end and attach it to the ceiling or curtain rods and adjust the length to make the object floating in mid-air. It’s almost invisible nature, makes it difficult to see its presence in a low light décor. 

Hooks and clips

If the object you have chosen to hang is very light-weight, say paper cut outs then stick command hooks on your ceiling or wall. You can use a fishing line or a black thread to hand the decoration on to the hook. While choosing the hooks and clips, opt for removable ones which don’t damage the stick-on surface or leave any gum residue.  

Pole hanging

If you already have poles, rods or curtain rods fixed in your house, make absolute use of them. Drape a fabric over the rods so that they also merge with the overall decoration and then stick the large props, hang them from a hook, tie a thread and hang it from the pole. You have ample ways to do it.

Fishing line with a magnet

This combination hanging system works well if you have to drop objects from the ceilings. More often than not this arrangement suits office spaces where you already have the infrastructure to carry out this decoration. Tie one end of the fishing line to the object of display and the other end to a very strong magnet. Place this heavy magnet onto the ceiling and the object will seem hanging from it.

Balloons

These light-weight decors can be of great help if you want to create an illusion of floating ghosts. Use white balloons and drape them with a fabric. With marker draw eyes and a mouth or you can use stick on eyes as well. You can hang them near ceilings or doorways, creating the illusion that ghosts are floating all around.

Netting

If you have a lot of small objects to hang or have a hanging ceiling illusion to make, then first and foremost, install a net slightly below your actual ceiling. Through the square of this net, you can now suspend smaller objects or a completely new false ceiling. This would also allow you to hang decorations without damaging the actual ceiling.
