These fancy little ghosties are the perfect mini addition to your Halloween decorations!
I’ve been adding a lot of black and white to my Halloween decor this year.
I’m loving the classic look, and it feels a little more vintage, don’t you think?
My new trio of Fancy Little Ghosties are my latest addition to my growing black and white collection.
FloraCraft® Make It: Fun came out with their Halloween E-Book and challenged their team members to recreate something in it.
It was so hard to choose!
But I ended up selecting the ghost from the Fab-BOO-Lous Felt Friends.
It’s so cute!
But I decided to take my own spin on it and glammed it up a bit.
Making Fancy Little Ghosties
You need three 6″ foam cones.
Cut the tops off 2 1/2″ from the end.
I cut my felt a little differently from the directions in the E-Book.
Instead of a long triangle, I used a circle than I then cut in half. I was able to use felt squares instead of a big piece of felt.
This circle is 9″ and I used a round tray as my template.
Roll the half circle into the shape of a cone and glue the ends in place.
You will also need 2 small foam balls.
Cut them in half.
Paint the rounded side of 3 of the halves black with acrylic paint.
Place a toothpick in the top, and paint it black as well.
Place the 2 1/2″ top of the cone on top of the toothpick and slip a felt cone over the top.
The felt should overlap the foam so it doesn’t show.
I glued black lace along the bottom inside of the felt.
Two round, black rhinestones made the eyes while a square rhinestone glued on askew was the mouth.
Finally, I tied black twine into a bow and glued it to the felt.
I think this trio of fancy little ghosties are a fun little set!
I do love how fancy they are with their rhinestones and lace and cute little bows.

These fancy little ghosties are absolutely adorable! I'm a big fan of the black and white Halloween decor theme, and your ghosties fit right in. Your personal spin on the Fab-BOO-Lous Felt Friends ghost is brilliant, especially using a circle and adding lace, rhinestones, and bows for that extra touch of glam.
The step-by-step instructions you've shared make it seem doable for even the least crafty person (like me!). I can't wait to try making my own trio of fancy little ghosties this year. Thanks for the creative inspiration!
By the way, your commitment to your black and white collection is impressive. Halloween is sure to be a stylish affair at your place.
