It’s always fun to do crafty fall decorations, especially at Halloween. Whether it’s spooky goblins and ghouls or creepy black cats and jack-o-lanterns, there’s never enough Halloween décor to fill up my house during the trick-or-treating season. There is always a plethora of awesome kid’s crafts to choose from but what if you have teens in your house or even a full-grown adult with a child-like spirit roaming the halls? These DIY Tie Dye Halloween Ghosts are the perfect little craft for older kids, teens, and even parents!
Recently, this DIY project made for a great bonding activity for me and my 3 daughters who range in ages 21-37… especially once the wine was flowin! If you’re looking for something fun to do this Halloween or Fall season with your older kids, check out these adorable DIY Tie Dye Halloween Ghosts!
Materials:
22” x 22” white cotton bandannas (or cut up white-colored natural fabric—do not use synthetic fibers as they won’t absorb color)
Plastic material (such as empty grocery shopping bags)
String, raffia, or ribbon
Googly eyes (optional)
Instructions:
Follow the instructions on the tie-dye kit to make enough cloth pieces for the number of DIY Tie Dye Halloween ghosts you are going to make.
Ball up a plastic or shopping bag and place it in the center of tie-dyed material.
Pull material around plastic and secure bread tie around the plastic ball to form a head.
Tie the raffia around the base of the ghost’s head and then tack the raffia to the back of the ghost’s head with the hot glue gun. The raffia will be used to hang up the ghost so cut it to the length you prefer.
Use googly eyes or leave the ghost’s face plain if desired.
These ghosts are so easy and simple to make that you can make just a few or enough to fill up an entire wall! Use traditional fall and Halloween color combinations or use bright pastels. No matter what, though, these DIY Tie Dye Halloween Ghosts are adorable and fun to make by yourself, or with your kids.
