👻 It’s ghost season! Let’s get rid of some scraps with this no-sew project for Halloween
DIY Hanging Ghosts are a fun and easy way to add to your Halloween decor. In this step-by-step I’ll show you how to create them using fabric scraps and fabric starch. If you have anyone with latex allergies you are in luck – I do too so I figured out how to do it without balloons making it a latex free craft for Halloween.
Once dry, these whimsical ghosties can stand on their own or hang and fly with fishing line. Whether you’re hosting a haunted house party or just want to add some ghostly charm to your space, this DIY project is a must-try.
MATERIALS:
- Fabric scraps
- Fabric starch
- A glass w/balloon or other rounded top to use as a form
- Felt or fabric for eyes / mouth
- Fabric scissors
- Fishing line if you want to hang
- Patience (it takes 12-20 hrs to dry)
