Howdy, friends!  Today, I'm thrilled to share the secrets of conjuring your very own DIY Halloween ghost.  Brace yourselves, because this little DIY ghost will knock your socks off!  Can you believe that I whipped up this spine-tingling Halloween ghost decoration for less than a dollar?  I know, it sounds insane, but with a handful of materials I had on hand, this ghostly creation came to life.  And guess what?  You can easily do it too.

The Ingredients of Enchantment: 

1. Cardboard
2. Black Sharpie Marker
3. Scissors
4. White Paint
5. 10 Dollar Tree Tumbling Tower Blocks
6. Mod Podge
7. Dap DryDex Spackle
8. Putty knife  
9. Masking Tape
10. Hot Glue
11. Glue Gun

Instructions on Summoning Your Ghostly Guide:

• Ghostly Blueprint: Begin by sketching your ghost's form on a piece of cardboard.  Embrace imperfections - my free-handed ghost is a testament to unique charm
• Ghostly Army: Use your first cardboard as a template to trace three more.  Cut them out to create a spirited squad.  

• Stacking Specters: Position the first cardboard ghost to and attach 5 tumbling tower blocks using hot glue. Reference photos for guidance. 

• Building the Ethereal Tower: Apply hot glue to the tower blocks, then layer another ghost form on top.  Add 5 more tower blocks, repeat the glue process, and top it with the final cardboard ghost. 

• Ghosts Armor: Wrap your ghostly creation with masking tape, ensuring no gaps remain.  Envelope it entirely for a sturdy base. 

• Spackle Sorcery: Work your magic with Dap DryDex using a putty knife.  Cover the top, sides, and front.  Allow it to dry completely - when the DryDex turns white, you're good to go.  

  

• Backside Beauty: Apply spackle to the back, let it dry, and give it a 24-hour rest. 

• Polishing the Phantom: Gently sand the spackled areas for a smooth surface, wiping off any excess dust with a damp cloth.  

• Shroud of Whiteness: Paint the ghost entirely white, creating an ethereal presence. 

Not perfect, but I am going with it

• Ghastly Gleam: Apply two coats of Mod Podge.  
• Ghostly Persona: With a Black Sharpie Marker, grant your ghost its unique expression.  The face brings life to the specter's charm.

• Unveiling the Ghostly Marvel: ta-da!  Behold your very own Halloween DIY ghost.  Its spooky essence is the perfect blend of eerie and delightful.
