I came across a few tutorials on making yarn ghosts and thought I would give it a try. Of course, I had to add my style to it as well. This is an easy DIY project and is so cute to use all of Autumn, or if you’re like me maybe keep it up all year!
What you’ll need:
👻Yarn: I used two different ones that I had on hand. Use any that you like. *Thinner yarns are easier to work with. 👻Felt or other fabric to cut for the eyes and mouth. 👻Scissors 👻 Measuring tape 👻Hot glue 👻Twine
Step 1: Cut your yarn ✂️. I measured it to 15″. Depending on how thick your yarn is you will want to adjust it to the length and thickness you want. The rainbow yarn I cut 12 pieces for each and the thicker black fabric I only cut 7. You will also want to cut 12″ of yarn for each “neck” to tie around. Step 2: Grab each bundle (12 pieces for the thinner yarn) and fold them in half.
Step 3: Add your 12″ yarn and tie it around where you want the neck to be. I tied a bow around mine. Step 4: You can use hot glue to make the top of the head more round, but it’s not always necessary. This part would need adult help if young children are helping. Step 5: Cut the eyes and mouth out of felt or other fabric. You can get fabric with shapes like the star one I have, and then got glue them to the face. Step 6: Add the twine by pushing it through the head. Step 7: Hang it up!
