I saw the cutest ceramic ghost garland on McGee & Co., but was taken back by the price of $80. So, last week I decided to use the leftover clay I had from my DIY ceramic napkin rings and make my own. This is such a quick and simple Halloween decor project that would be perfect to do with kids. Each of my ghost shapes were a little different which I think makes this feel a little more special than the inspiration ghost garland. You will definitely want to give this DIY ceramic ghost garland a try!

What You’ll Need

• Oven
• Oven-bake clay – I used Sculpey
• Piercing tool – anything that will create a small hole
• Black Paint
• Paint brushes
• Glaze- I used Sculpey Gloss Glaze
• Black waxed twine

Step One

Roll out even balls of oven-bake clay and shape into your ghost. They can be rolled smooth, but I decided I liked the way they looked with the fingerprint indentions. Pierce a hole towards the top so they can be strung later on.

Step Two

Bake them in the oven according to your oven-bake clay instructions. When done, let them cool completely before moving to the next step.

Step Three

Paint eyes and mouth on with black paint. Once dry, add one or two coats of clear glaze and let dry.

Step Four

String your ghosts on twine and enjoy!

To get the Desert Mist diffuser to fit inside the pumpkin lantern I pulled the decorative cover off. It has a run time up to 10 hours and has a flickering candle light option that is perfect during the holidays.

Think of all the places you will be able to hang this. Over mirrors, art, mantles, along the front of a console, etc. And since it’s custom you can make it the exact length you need! You’ll have to let me know if you make the DIY ghost garland!
