DIY Clay Ghost for Halloween

Looking for a cute Halloween project to make with the kids? Look no further than this DIY clay ghost! I found this quick and easy Halloween decor idea on Sonya Art 22‘s YouTube channel. It’s so adorable, especially when the light is on. It looks like it’s floating because of the light passing through the bottom.

This clay ghost decor uses a type of clay that does not require firing. You can find air dry clay in most craft stores near you. Be as creative as you want when you make this small Halloween project. You can customize the hat, add accessories to your ghost, and paint it in whatever color you like.

How to Make a DIY Clay Ghost

Step 1:

Get a piece of clay and roll it between your hands into a perfect ball. Place it on your working surface and roll it flat with a pen. It should not be a perfect circle.

Step 2:

Take some aluminum foil and form it into a cone.

Step 3:

Place the flattened clay over the foil cone then fold the sides to form a ghost. Make sure the ghost can stand on its own, even without the foil. Using the stencil cutter, cut out the eyes of the ghost.

Step 4:

Take a small piece of clay and form it into a pointed hat that fits the head of the ghost. Place it on top of the ghost. Let them dry for hours according to package instructions.

Step 5:

Once they are fully dry, remove the foil inside the ghost. Using sandpaper, sand areas where it needs some polishing. Remove the dust and clean before painting.

Step 6:

Paint the hat black and let it dry completely.

Step 7:

The last thing you need to do is insert the tea light or fairy lights inside and you are done.
