Halloween DIY Decor

  1. Cheesecloth Ghost

This craft was super easy to pull off! All you need is a frame of your choice, cheesecloth, black felt, and Mod-Podge.

In a bowl with water, pour some Mod Podge into it and mix around. Cut the cheesecloth and soak it in the mixture. Then shape the wet cheesecloth on your frame into a ghost.

Create a little arm to tie around flowers of your choice. Hot glue the edges of the cheesecloth along with felt ghost eyes and mouth!

Let dry and enjoy!

2. Painted Doormat

Snag this $7 doormat to decorate! Decorating a plain doormat for the holidays has quickly become one of my favorite crafts to create! Be sure to seal it with Flex Seal.

3. Shiplap Wood Decor

This wood plank piece is on sale right now at Hobby Lobby for only $2!

4. DryDex Ghosts

This one is a real trust the process! Start somewhere relatively in the middle in order to layer your ghosts. Don’t scoop too much on as it will be more difficult to spread. You can use a putty knife, or cut out a rounded piece of cardboard to use.

You can use your finger to help shape your ghosts as you go.

Once your finished laying all the ghosts down, let it dry for an hour or so. Then come back to it with a little bit of water on your finger, and shape the edges or center again.

5. AirDry Clay Tic-Tac-Toe Board

Another simple craft that is super fun in the end! Just use AirDry Clay to make a tic-tac-toe board any ghost shape you want. Using a little water on your finger to smooth it out helps a lot!

When your ghost is dry, paint it, and seal it with Mod-Podge!
