Hey everyone! It’s Ashley from 3 Little Greenwoods sharing an easy door decor project with you that is guaranteed to make your trick-or-treaters smile!
Say hello to our sweet Ghostie Girl Door Decor!
This project was unbelievably simple and inexpensive to make.
Ghostie Girl Supplies
- large sheet of foam core
- black craft paint
- washi tape
- wide, wired ribbon
- white glue
Get started by drawing a ghost shape on the foam core. Our Ghostie Girl measures 12″ x 24″. Once I was happy with the shape, I used a serrated kitchen knife to carefully cut out the ghost.
Yes, I like living dangerously. One day I’ll have the correct tool for slicing through foam core but for now the kitchen knife did the trick. đ
Next Ghostie Girl got a happy smile and eyes with lashes.
While the face was drying I began to wrap the edges with black, chevron washi tape. Since the shape doesn’t have straight edges you will need to notch the tape so it will lay flat around the curves.
If the washi tape doesn’t want to stick use a dab of white glue to hold it down.
Adding a fun bow definitely gives this Ghostie Girl a personality of her own. Tootsie, our four year old, has declared it to be her!
With a little help from blue painter’s tape Ghostie Girl is happily hanging out on the front door.
