Halloween craft for you guys and it’s beginner level, and very affordable. The high end store charges $100 plus for this size I had puck lights and twinkle lights (haven’t decided which to use) queen size sheet, purchased 2 cages $2 each at Walmart the styrofoam ball was $14 I had one I got for a floral arrangement had a lot of holes but you can’t see. Then I got the felt with adhesive back I cut out construction paper first for sizing and placemats the pool noodle I had but they are $1 at five below right now. End of summer sales. I hope to have the noodle look like arms to glue the trick or treat bag or pimokin. in place:
I just bent the 3 end of the metal cage and I used the foam ball to pierce through and hold in place; the sheet fit perfectly and then add eyes. Again the noodles we will see will post by end of week. I’m also recreating the Ms Gus pillow as well, got a mushroom Sherpa pillow with a Sherpa plush blanket; felt eyes and not sure my do the girl one with lashes and bow or my own version.

Supplies purchased for this ghost at Walmart, the tomato cages on clearance $2 they had a few sizes and a plastic one also. Styrofoam ball was $14 but you can use a bowl they have $1.25 at dollar tree I had a floral arrangement ball lighter foam and absorbs water but it worked holes and all. Then queen white or off white sheet, flat sheet works best, black felt for eyes and bow, or accents, I have a bag and pumpkin for 2 to hold will name soon; I also have lights I had string lights from a passed collab and puck lights leftover so going to light up for sure.
I think they will go on the front porch when October gets here and maybe inside by the mudroom or entry for content; the noodle is hopefully going to look like arms
It turned out so good I was happy I planned to make two now I want more, maybe make a team
The bat from my bats I hang on the walls was perfect had one on the drawer I forgot to take down and didn’t went to find the bin lol. I’m excited for Halloween have some very cute decor and ideas.
Stay tuned I’m making the Ms Gus pillow I think or maybe holding something else or pumpkin? Can’t decide but for a mudroom shaped white Sherpa pillow for $4 on sale and then a white Sherpa or plush throw $5 on sale use the felt for eyes and it’s good to go. It’s ghosts, skeletons and witches excited. Have fun ideas usually have the ideas but with menopause was struggling with my anxiety since getting good drs I’m feeling more myself and at peace truly, meditation works womders and self care me time. Sorry for the of subject but excited to be planning and getting all my Halloween/ Christmas together all while finishing my projects and starting Paityn’s room.
I love her,
Can’t wait to share the other one and how he came out. May make one a little shorter right now both same size. I love how they came out and easy to make beginner level for sure: you can also buy the styrofoam’s and hang them from a tree or the house I just like to stand. You can use a planter or something taller with a round top for head. I would love to see some if you saw my blog post and make please tag me @cr8tivewanderlist on IG, Pinterest, fb and TikTok
Peace and light always
