Crafts are fun to do in your spare time, either by yourself or with a group of friends and family. Here are some cute little decorations that can easily be made to make your home look spooky!
Cagey Ghosts*
Materials-
Tomato cage, Duct tape, Twist ties, String lights, Socks, Sticks, Marker or craft foam and a white twin sheet.
Instructions-
1. To make one, set up the cage as shown. To form the head, use duct tape to secure the rounded prongs of the cage. Thread the lights through the cage, and secure them with twist ties.
2. For each arm, ball up two socks and duct-tape them to a stick, placed in the ground.
3. Add marker or pinned-on craft foam facial features to a white twin sheet, then drape it over the structure
Ghost Chair Covers*
Materials-
Felt, Fabric glue or needle and thread, pins and repositionable glue.
Instructions-
The Slipcovers.
1. This easy slipcover, made from a few yards of felt, serves as a backdrop for a year’s worth of decorations.
First, decide how far down the back of your chair you want the slipcover to hang. Measure from that point up and over the top of the chair, then down to the seat (or stop at the arms if your chair has them). This is the total length of felt you’ll need for each cover. Now measure the width of the chair back at its widest point; add to that measurement the thickness of the chair back and 1 inch for the seams (1/2 inch per side).
2. For each chair, cut a piece of white felt to fit your measurements. Ours ran 1 1/2 yards long and 2/3 yard wide.
3. Fold the felt over the chair and pin the sides in place. Remove the cover and sew up the sides or glue them together with fabric glue. If you sew them, turn the cover inside out.
The Decorations.
To haunt your house with this friendly spirit, simply download the
ghost template.
4. Trace the templates on to felt (or other lightweight materials such as ribbon) and then cut them out. (We glued white felt pupils onto the black eyes.) Dimensions will depend on the size of your chair covers.
5. Spray the back of each piece with a thin layer of repositionable glue, then press them onto the slipcovers or layer them on top of one another. (If little hands peel off any of them, just apply another layer of glue and press them back on.) Tip: If you get a clump of glue, spread it out with a paintbrush so it doesn’t leave a mark on the white felt.
6. Store the pieces in plastic bags, preferably with the sticky sides facing away from one another. Next time you use them, spritz on another layer of glue.
Spirit Jugs*
Materials-
Clean plastic gallon milk jug, black permanent marker, craft knife and a string of 50 low-wattage holiday lights.
Instructions-
1. Draw ghost eyes and mouths on the jugs. Tip: Leave the caps on while you do this, so the jugs don’t dent.
2. Use the craft knife to cut a half-dollar-size hole in the back of each jug (a parent’s job).
3. Arrange the ghosts near each other and string the lights between them, stuffing several bulbs into each of the jugs.
