Super Spooky DIY Porch Ghosts
Here is a list of the products I used! Read everything below to see all the steps I took to create my DIY ghost family.
It all started with the tomato cages! I went with two different sizes because it seemed more aesthetically pleasing to have them at alternative heights. Check out my shopping list for the direct links to the tomato cages.
How cute are my two assistants? :) Next, I added the styrofoam heads by pushing them down onto the prongs of the tomato cages. Don’t be afraid to give these an extra push dow to make sure they are sturdy. If you’re nervous about breaking the styrofoam heads, order a couple extra as an insurance policy! It’s always good to have extra materials when DIY-ing, just incase you need to replace any parts of the project down the road. The styrofoam heads are linked on my list at the top.
Okay! Now we’re ready to add our tablecloths. Yes, I said tablecloths! When searching for the perfect “clothing” for my ghosts, I felt that it was extremely important to find a material that would be resilient in the outdoors & I wanted different sizes to accommodate the height of each ghost. I went with outdoor tablecloths that I found on amazon. Again, they are linked above on my list.
Now lets make our eyes!
I chose to use old pieces of black clothing that my children had outgrown to make the eyes. They were in toss basket in storage & I was so excited to find recycle them for this project!
Using a sharpie, I traced the eyes.
Then I cut them out & glued them onto the tablecloths using E600 glue! I have linked it above. I’ve also linked a small black tablecloth that can be used to make the eyes if you don’t have any small pieces of black fabric around the house.
Then my ghosts were ready to materialize on the porch! I love them so much. Please copy them if you’d like! Remember my list at the top of this post if you need to reference any of the materials I used. Thanks for following along.
