DIY Air-dry Clay Ghost with Tea Lights Craft

We recently made these cute little ghosts using air-dry clay. Great DIY craft for your kids, grandkids, or for yourself, and set them right in there with all your Halloween decorations. 

Here’s what you need:

• White air-dry clay 
• Rolling pin
• Straw or lollipop stick
• Knife or a bowl 4.5” across
• Aluminum foil 
• Tea Lights 

Instructions:

1. Roll out a 2-3” ball of clay.
2. When it’s about 1/4-inch thick, cut out a 4 1/2-inch circle.
3. Continue to roll the circle until it’s about 6-inches in diameter.
4.  With the straw or lollipop stick, make two eyes a bit off-center. 
5. Use the aluminum foil to build a mold to drape the clay circle over the ball. 
6. Let the ghost dry for up to 48 hours. You may need to turn it over to dry underneath after the first 24 hours.
7. Rest the ghost over a tea light.

And the final project looks like this...

Below is our 10/19/22 LIVE video with the craft that starts at 20:00.

We hope you enjoyed this little tutorial. Do you decorate for Halloween? Do you make crafts for the holidays? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Happy Halloween and NO Bones About It!! DIY Craft

This craft is simply cute and only takes a few items to make. My grandson loved it when I gave it to him, he said "It's HALLOWEEN?"  I gave it to him the day we made it, he's only 4 years old and has no concept of time. But that made me happy that he loved it. Thanks Cathy for suggesting this craft.

Here's what you will need:

• Marshmallows
• Mini Marshmallows
• White Chocolate Covered Pretzels
• Black Candy Melts
• Long Lollipop Sticks
• Toothpicks
• Clear Treat Bags
• String
• Hole Punch
• "No Bones About it" printable FREE to you our friends :)

Instructions:

Step 1: Gather all your supplies to make these as quick as possible.

Step 2: Push the marshmallow onto the end of one of your lollipop sticks. Make the skeleton face with a toothpick and the black candy wafers on the marshmallow. Allow it to dry fully before continuing. The candy typically dries pretty quickly.
Step 3: Take 5 pretzels that you will layer on the stick to create the bones. Then push a mini marshmallow on the stick under the bones to keep them from falling.
Step 4: Place the skeleton in the treat bag
Step 5: Punch a hole in the printable and use twine or string to attach the printable to the bag. VOILA! You are done.

Your friends and family or even trick-or-treaters will love this.

DIY Jack-O-Lantern Floral Centerpiece

I was looking for something different to make for the Halloween season and found this DIY on Pinterest. It  an easy craft and you can find all the items easily at your local Walmart, Dollar Tree and craft store. Let's get started!

Supplies:

• 3 pumpkin pails - Walmart
• Off white spray paint, preferably for plastic - Walmart
• Metallic acrylic paint - Walmart
• small paint brush - Dollar Tree
• hot glue gun  - Walmart
• hot glue sticks - Dollar Tree
• Jute cord - Dollar Tree
• some sort of weight: sand, rocks, etc.
• assorted fall flowers - Dollar Tree

Instructions:

The first thing I did was spray paint the pails. If I had thought more about it, I would have glued them all together first then spray painted. But I painted them all individually. You may want to seal them afterwards as I found out the paint didn't adhere as well as I thought. I might go back later and seal. 

It took a few coats to cover. It didn't take long between coats to dry. I left the handles on because it was easier to handle them and transport them back to my craft room and finish the project.

After a few hours of dry time, I painted the faces with a metallic paint. It took a couple of coats of paint to make it look super gold.

After all the paint was good and dry, I put a large rock in the bottom pail for stability.

I glued the pails together with hot glue and when along the outside after they were all together and added more glue.

Jute cord finished this project off and hid the messy glue. I tacked the cord at the ends with hot glue.

I had a bunch of fall silk flowers in my stash and used them to fill the top.

I'm super happy with this craft. As you can see I didn't line the faces up on purpose because I thought it would add a little character to the craft.
