Here at The Shabby Tree, we love decorating for Halloween! One thing I’m noticing as super popular this year is ghosts, which we’ve made a few of over the last couple of years. I thought it would be a good idea to put together a collection of them to make it easier for you to find!

The first one up is honestly one of my favorites! I just love the look of this one, and it is so simple to make. We added a little bit of sparkle to make it pop!

How To Make A Light Up Ghost Using Dollar Tree Items
Keep your eyes out for little wooden ghosts. I always ask myself if we can make something better or more unique, and that’s exactly what I did with this little ghost from the Dollar Tree. I’m not sure if they’ll have them again this year, but during the fall, it’s not hard to find a wooden ghost. You might even find one at your local thrift store!

DIY Pumpkin Ghost Girl
I had to go way back to find this DIY! I just love the layers of fabric and lace; they really give it a vintage feel!

DIY Ghost Rocks
I think painted rocks make incredible bowl fillers! You can make them unique for each season, and that’s exactly what we did with these little ghosts. They have a bit of sparkle, which is optional, but I think they’re so cute!

My favorite is your front door ghost that’s not listed. But if have to choose from ones listed would be dollar tree mop head ghost or concrete ghosts. They are all so good it’s hard to choose!

I have a mop head ghost I bought from a co-worker who made them, many years ago. I still hang it up every Halloween. I love it!

I remember most of them. There are several that are kid friendly. My grand children love to craft. Thanks for posting all these with instructions.

I would love to do the ghost in a glow in the dark paint. I’m not sure if there’s a spray paint out there that glows.
