A Craft Everyone Can Enjoy

Not only is this sheet ghost project super easy it is also great for all ages. Whether you're crafting solo, with kids, or hosting a Halloween get-together, this centerpiece is a great way to get creative together.

How to Make It:

Assemble the ghosts: This DIY kit makes assembling the ghosts so easy. It comes with the stands, the foam heads, the sheet and face stickers.

Light it up: I used a thumb tack to attach the lights to the under side of the head and then let them loosely hang down. This gives the ghosts a magical night time glow.

Make felt witch hats: for the witch hats I cut out a big circle and then twisted the felt to make the top of the hat. I used hot glue to secure it all together.

Create the base: Use a long basket or if you don't have one, just lay the black gauze fabric down the center of your table like a table runner. Fluff and bunch it for a layered, textured look.

Add your ghost set: Arrange the DIY ghosts across the gauze. Vary the height by placing some on small upside-down bowls or candle holders underneath the fabric.

Set the spooky mood: Place a few black candles in holders along the display. Light them during parties or Halloween night for the ultimate vibe.

Finish with the twig tree: Anchor the arrangement with a black twig tree. Hang mini ghosts, paper bats, or clip-on spiders for extra charm.
