Not every creative idea comes with a friendly welcome mat. Sometimes you have to wander through a few dark halls before you find the thing that makes your heart jump. Today’s treasure? A Ghost Garland — equal parts spooky and charming, perfect for stringing across bookshelves or windows.
You’ll Need
- White tissue paper or fabric scraps
- Cotton balls or polyfill
- String or twine
- Black felt-tip marker
- Scissors & tape or hot glue
Instructions
- Make Your Ghosts: Place a cotton ball in the center of the fabric/tissue and gather it up to form a head.
- Tie it Off: Use a small piece of string or twist tie to secure the “neck.”
- Give it a Face: Use a black marker to add tiny, haunted eyes.
- String the Spirits: Attach each ghost to your main length of twine with tape or glue, spacing them evenly.
