Free Printable Halloween Ghost Gift Tags: Black & White

Grab these Free Printable Halloween Ghost Gift Tags! Nine black and white ghosts with different faces make treat bags cute and quick. No stress, just print!

Halloween is almost here, friend! 👻 If your to-do list looks anything like mine, you need easy wins right now. That’s exactly why I made these Free Printable Halloween Ghost Gift Tags. They’re simple and sweet. Plus, they take about five minutes from printer to treat bag.

What Are These Ghost Gift Tags?

This printable is one sheet of black and white Halloween gift tags. Each page has nine little ghosts on it. Every ghost has a different face, too! Some look silly, some look happy, and one looks a little surprised. (Honestly, that one is me when I see the price of Halloween candy.) 🍬

Since the tags are black and white, they print on any home printer. You don’t need fancy color ink. As a result, you can print a whole stack without breaking the bank. Just download, print, cut, and tie them onto your treats.

Why You’ll Love This Idea

First of all, these tags are fast. Between school parties, costume hunts, and pumpkin carving, October gets wild. You don’t have time for complicated crafts, you know? These cute ghost printables let you add a special touch without adding stress. That’s a win in my book!

On top of that, the kids can help. My two love picking which ghost face goes on each bag. Coloring the tags keeps little hands busy while I finish dinner. In other words, it’s a craft and a helper activity rolled into one. Moreover, it makes even a simple bag of candy feel like a real gift. 💛

How to Use Free Printable Halloween Ghost Gift Tags

Getting started is super easy. Here’s what I do:

1. Download and print. To download, head to the end of the post and enter your name and email address in the dark green download box. You’ll receive an email with the printable PDF file. Use white cardstock for sturdy tags. Regular printer paper works too, in a pinch.
2. Cut them out. Scissors work fine. However, a paper cutter speeds things up if you’re making a big batch.
3. Punch a hole. Place it at the top of each ghost’s head (there is a circle to show you where to punch).
4. Add ribbon or twine. Orange ribbon looks so festive! Black-and-white baker’s twine is cute too.
5. Write a message. Add names on the back or a fun note like “Have a BOO-tiful Halloween!”

That’s it! You’ll have a whole batch of Halloween gift tags ready before you know it.

Fun Ways to Use Your Ghost Tags

These little ghosts work for so many things. Here are some of my favorite ideas:

• Halloween treat bags. Tie them onto candy bags for trick-or-treaters or your kids’ friends.
• Classroom Halloween treats. Teachers, these are perfect for student goodie bags! Parents can also send them in for the class party.
• Halloween party favors. Attach one to each favor bag so guests know which bag is theirs.
• “You’ve been booed” gifts. Leave a surprise treat on a neighbor’s porch with a ghost tag attached. 👻
• Lunchbox notes. Tape one to a snack for a sweet little surprise at school.
• Teacher or coworker gifts. Pair a tag with a mini pumpkin bread or a coffee gift card.
• Boo Baskets. If you’ve been on social media recently, you know boo baskets are huge. I made small ones for my kids using the few items below. You can go as simple or elaborate as you like.

Variations to Try

Let the Kids Color Them

Since the tags are black and white, they double as a coloring activity. Hand your kids some markers and let them go wild. Next thing you know, you’ll have purple ghosts with polka dots. Frankly, those are the best kind! 🎨

Print on Colored Cardstock

Want a quick pop of color? Print the tags on orange, purple, or lime green cardstock instead. The black lines stand out nicely. Plus, you still skip the color ink.

Make a Ghost Garland

Punch two holes in each tag instead of one. Then, string them together with twine. Hang your ghost garland over a doorway or across the mantel. It’s a fun DIY Halloween decoration that costs almost nothing.

Add Some Glitter

Glow-in-the-dark paint or a little glitter makes these ghosts extra spooky. Just let them dry fully before tying them on. Otherwise, you’ll find glitter in your hair until Thanksgiving. 🦃

Common Questions

What paper is best for printable Halloween tags?

White cardstock is my top pick. It holds up well and feels sturdy on gift bags. Regular paper works too, but it may bend or tear more easily.

Can I use these tags for school parties?

Absolutely! Teachers and room parents love these for classroom treats. Since there are nine tags per page, you can prep a whole class quickly. Just print a few sheets and you’re set.

How do I attach gift tags to treat bags?

Punch a hole and tie the tag on with ribbon or twine. Alternatively, you can use a stapler or a piece of washi tape. Clothespins also work and look really cute!

Are these tags only for Halloween?

They’re made with Halloween in mind. However, cute ghosts work for any fall celebration. Use them for fall birthday parties, harvest festivals, or a “just because” treat.
