Fancy Little Ghosties

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.
