Halloween is just around the corner, and it's the perfect time to get crafty with some ghoulishly delightful DIY projects. This year, TikTok has been buzzing with creative ideas, from eco-friendly hanging ghosts to illuminating mini pumpkin string lights. Here are a few of our favorites that you can try yourself.
There’s nothing quite like a ghoulish little ghost for Halloween decor. Ashley, or @woodlarkblog on TikTok, created the cutest viral hanging ghosts that are totally compostable—meaning you’re making a cute craft without all the waste.
First, cut cheesecloth into about 10-inch squares. Now, to make your glue, combine a one to two ratio of cornstarch and water over low heat just until it starts to thicken. If you don’t have the time to make the glue yourself, you can also use Mod Podge. Soak your cheesecloth in the glue and wring it out to ensure most of the access glue is out. Then layer two cheese cloths over the top of anything circular—Ashley used a ball of foil inside a glass.
Once they dry, add some eyes and a mouth and thread a string through it to hang.
Kara Whitten, or @kailochic on TikTok, shared a fun way to make plain white candles a bit more festive. Place a few paraffin wax taper candles in a warm water bath—not so warm that they fully melt, but warm enough to soften them up.
After the candles are completely soft, keep them in the water to very slowly bend them around until you get some scary shapes. Once they’re bent and dried, use acrylic paint to draw on faces.
This craft works for just about any holiday season, but to give it that Halloween vibe, grab any of your metal Halloween cookie cutters, Mama Faith or @mamafaith114 on Tiktok told 4.8 million viewers.
