Autumn is setting in which means Spooky Season is too! If you like to indulge in this time of year and add some Halloween-inspired touches to your home, try our Clay Ghost Halloween craft. The perfect half-term activity for little ones, or a more elevated option for autumnal decor, these ghosts are a spooktacular centerpiece for your seasonal tablescapes.
You’ll need:
Air dry clay
A small jar or glass
Foil, rolled into a small ball
A pencil or thick skewer
Mod podge
Pretty napkins
Battery tealights
How to:
Start by rolling out your clay into a rough circle, about ½ cm thick.
Roll some foil into a ball (roughly the size of a ping-pong ball) and place it on the top of a glass. Then drape your rolled out clay over the glass, bringing the edges down to form a ghost-like shape. Make sure you don’t press down too tightly so you can still remove the foil once dried.
Using the end of a pencil or thick skewer, poke holes for eyes and ghoul expression! Leave to dry until hardened, or overnight.
Once dry, carefully remove the clay ghost from the mold. Cut around the designs from your chosen napkins – we went for wildflower prints – and adhere to the clay using mod podge.
Leave them to dry once more and add your lights, only using battery operated tealights or fairy lights and voila!
