Ready to get in the spooky mood? This quick and easy fall craft uses minimal supplies and doesn’t take much time to make! It looks sleek and modern and brings a cozy, warm glow during spooky season.
How to Execute This DIY
Grab some air dry clay from any craft store, I used Crayola’s air dry clay.
Roll a large chunk of clay flat (on top of a large piece of Glad Cling Wrap) as if rolling out sugar cookie dough.
Next, tape a small ball to the top of an upside down red Solo Cup. Cover this drying stand with some Glad Cling Wrap to avoid your ghost from sticking while it dries.
Cut the perimeter of your flattened clay into an (imperfect) circular shape.
Then lift the clay circle by the Glad Cling Wrap underneath and gently lay it over your solo cup drying stand. Gently press clay down around cup, creating drape like curves.
Puncture three holes for eyes and a mouth using a straw (use your creative freedom to give the ghost your desired personality).
Wait 2-3 days for air dry clay to fully dry. Gently lift ghost off the stand. Leave your ghost with an organic clay finish or customize it with paint.
Find a cute place to display your ghost & slide a battery operated tea light candle like these ones that come in a 6 pack from Target underneath (opt for a battery operated candle to avoid overheating the clay with a real flame).
