quick halloween ghost project!

October 9, 2013 by mama lola

 i found some old white sheets in the basement and decided to get crafty just in time for halloween. this is a super simple, super quick project, but super spooky too!


SUPPLIES:

  • old sheets or fabric of your choosing
  • thread, needle
  • scissors
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
  • to give the fabric a rougher, spookier look i tore the sheet into squares
 
 
  • i gathered whatever was left over and made little bundles, that i tied into head shaped balls
 
 
  • i sewed on the faces free hand with a needle and red thread, super quickly. the less precise they look, the better i think
  • i held the fabric tightly to make the fabric taught and flat, making it easier to sew
 
 
my kids love these ghosts! i’ve made four and they are hanging around spinning around on their own. it’s kinda spooky, actually! everyone who has seen them has adored them! 

quick and easy and perfect for halloween!


i made a small round-up of spooky halloween decorations that can be found HERE. some of those projects were the inspiration to this ghost!

    These are so awesome!! And yes I agree, the sloppier the stitching the better (finally a project I will easily excel at haha).

    These are so cute! Awesome and easy to do. I’m a fan of sloppy stitching *wink*.

    Wishing you a lovely day.

    This is such a great project, especially since my hubby is out of work (thank you congress) and I have zero money to buy costumes.

    I really appreciate this post, Mama!
