DIY Air-dry Clay Ghost with Tea Lights Craft

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

You can use a better quality meatball. Add spices to the center, too. I really liked th
