DIY ghost garland tutorial A look for less DIY of the McGee Ghost Garland for a fraction of the cost: $12 vs. $89! 6 oz. White Sculpty Oven Bake Clay Ghost Cookie Cutter (or go freehand) Black Braiding Cord Black Acrylic Paint Roll out Sculpty clay with a rolling pin, use your cookie cutter or template, or go freehand and cut out ghost(s). I am using six oz of clay, which made eight ghosts. With a toothpick, poke holes at the top for stringing the cord. Bake on a cookie sheet at 275 degrees for 20 minutes. Once cooled, add the ghost face (eyes, mouth) with acrylic paint and let dry. Cut your braiding cord to size, leaving extra for hanging. I spaced my ghosts out 6" apart and attached them by pinching the cord in half, threading through the hole, pulling the cord up around the object you are tying the knot over. Try to make sure the cords don't become twisted. Pull the other two strands through the loop. This is a lark head knot. Halloween DIY, Halloween Craft, Halloween Garland, Halloween Home Decor
