Let’s make it!
I’m using a lot of scrappy supplies to make this viral swinging ghost, y’all!
I painted my surface with two coats of Dark and Decrepit paint from Debi’s Design Diary and Milton’s Daughter and dried it with my heat tool. I placed the twigs and sticks into a branch shape and hot glued them onto the surface.
The swing is part of a Dollar Tree small pallet, cut in half. I used thick twine to make the ropes, and just threaded it between the wood slats, tied a knot, hot glued over the knots then trimmed off the excess twine.
I spritzed water into the lid of my Waverly Antique Wax to stain the swing, then wiped off the excess with a paper towel.
I added a Tumbling Tower Game block from Dollar Tree. It’s like a little Jenga block.
I hot glued the swing to the surface, then hot glued the twine to the branch.
For the “ghost”, I arranged my doily and hot glued at the head, the middle and then where it sits on the swing. I wanted to keep folds in the doily, so I just adjusted it as needed.
I added some fall leaves onto the branch, then I painted black on paper for the eyes, and cut them out. I didn’t have black fabric or paper, so paint worked!
I added a pumpkin and she’s done! How cute is this!
I made this one yesterday as a quick project, and it’s so stinkin’ cute! It’s just a Dollar Tree platter, a doily and some flowers, y’all! Click HERE to see the video!
