DIY Boo-Tiful Ghost Ornaments To Give Your Home The Spookiest Appeal

It's spooky season! No matter how you like to celebrate, decorating your home with cheap and easy Halloween decorations you can DIY is an easy way to get in the holiday spirit. And these DIY boo-tiful ghost ornaments are sure to be a fang-tastic addition to your Halloween decor. All you need to get started is some cheesecloth, Modge Podge Stiffy fabric stiffener, and black paint.

Plaidcrafts on YouTube shows how easy it is to make this DIY. All you have to do is coat the cheesecloth with some Modge Podge Stiffy fabric stiffener and hang it to dry. This DIYer uses a peg board with some wire arms wrapped around each peg to dry the fabric to look like ghosts. You can replicate this ghost armature or use items around your house to create your own look! A rock or marble taped to a stick would work well for the head, and then you can use a wire for the arms. You could also form the figure out of aluminum foil. This allows you to create many differently shaped ghosts. After the armature's design is set, make sure to wrap the structure in some plastic so it is easy to remove the fabric when dry. Once your fabric is completely dry, use black paint or a fabric marker to add eyes and a mouth to your ghost. Get creative with different ghoulish expressions!

This ghost DIY is great for anywhere around the house. Turn your Christmas tree into a Halloween tree by adding these ornaments to the branches. You can even make your house plants look more festive by adding this DIY to their pot. Just remove the ghost before watering. Or, attach a piece of string to the top of the ghosts' heads and hang them from the ceiling or a light fixture (just make sure your light doesn't get hot). These could also be a great addition to your mantel, or even given as a gift to your neighbors in a boo box.

In addition to changing the shape of the ghosts with the armature, you can also change the size of the ghosts. Create a larger stand using styrofoam and use more fabric and Modge Podge Stiffy to make a larger ghost. Use fewer materials and a smaller armature to make tiny ghosts.
