Easy and Awesome Halloween Ghost Craft with Video
Do you want to make a Halloween ghost craft? I love the Halloween season and I am always looking for an easy DIY Halloween decoration idea that will add some Halloween fun to the season. DIY Halloween decorations really give me Halloween vibes. You can make these easy DIY ghosts by turning a regular vase into a glittery and glowing ghost. It is such a fun idea!

Directions for your Ghost Craft
I found this vase at the dollar tree and I knew it would be perfect for this project because it has a ghost shape. I washed it and removed the tag.
I poured Pledge Floor Care Cleaner into the vase. You can also use liquid hairspray for the same effect. For a more permanent solution, you can use Mod Podge.
I spun the vase around until the Pledge had coated the entire inside of the vase and dumped out the excess.
I poured in some white glitter.
I spun the vase around until the entire vase was coated with glitter and I dumped out the excess.
Using a black permanent marker I drew 2 eyes for my ghost. You can have great fun creating different faces for your ghost using buttons, paint, or adhesive black felt that you can cut in any shape using a pair of scissors.
I placed a battery-operated LED light in him for added glow. I love how he turned out.

How do you make ghost crafts?

You could also create a ghost by using some of the following supplies:
- a white sheet over a tomato cage with a foam ball and place it in your front yard for some outdoor Halloween ghosts
- a plastic bag to make a hanging ghost
In addition to making these fun ghosts, you can add some other items to make your front porch or front yard spooky fun for trick-or-treaters.
- lantern lights
- ghost garlands
- paper lanterns
- hanging witch hats
- fake cobwebs
- plastic spiders
I hope this inspires you to create some ghost crafts of your own.

I think your ghost is cute! I was thinking, could this work on something that was two-tiered? I w as thinking about a snowman. A round ornament or small bowl for a head, and a jar or bottle for a body. I’m not sure how you’d light it, though, and that’s the best part of the effect…? What do you think?
Thank you Nicole and I have done a snowman with this technique. You can find it here – https://chascrazycreations.com/upcycled-vases-to-glittery-snowman/
