Crafting your ghost holder
Materials you’ll need
– Air dry clay
– A small mug
– A round cookie cutter or a cup
– A small tool for creating holes (e.g., toothpick)
– Tea lights
Steps to create your ghost holder
1. Prepare the Clay: Start by rolling out your air dry clay to about 1/4 inch thickness. You can use a rolling pin to achieve an even surface.
2. Cut a Round Shape: Use a round cookie cutter or a cup to cut a circle from the clay. This will be the base of your ghost holder.
3. Shape the Ghost: Now, take a small mug and gently press it into the center of your clay circle. This will give your ghost holder a curved shape.
4. Add Facial Features: With a toothpick or a similar tool, create two holes for the eyes and a wavy mouth for your ghost. Be as creative as you like with the facial expressions!
5. Let It Dry: Allow your ghost holder to dry for a few hours or overnight. The drying time can vary depending on the brand of clay you’re using, so be patient.
Decorating your space
Once your ghost holder is completely dry, it’s time to put it to good use. Place a tea light inside, and watch as the warm glow illuminates the ghost’s features, casting an eerie and charming ambiance in your home.
