Easy DIY Halloween Ghost Door Hanger
Start by cutting your 20"x30" foam board into two oval shaped circles. Each one should be 12" wide and 18" tall.
Next you'll want to take your 21" white deco mesh and cut 3 pieces of 60" long mesh. Take each one of these pieces and layer them on top of each other.
Take one of your foam shaped oval pieces and lay it in the center of the 21" deco mesh strips that we cut.
Fold the mesh over the top of the foam board and tightly grip right below the foam board oval... You want to pull the mesh tight around the front of the ghost like you can see in the picture.
Take one of your zip ties and zip tie the bundled up deco mesh below the oval. (Think of a lollipop and how the wrapper is attached.. This is how you want to wrap your oval shape with the deco mesh!!
Next we need to create the ghost a face! Take your black fun foam sheet and cut out eyes and a mouth. Use your gorilla glue and paint some of the glue gel on the back of each of the foam pieces and press them firmly against the deco mesh (holding firmly for 10-15 seconds).
All thats left is a bow!!! If you have probow, you can check out probowthehand.com and get instructions on making a Terri Bow!! (This is the bow I used) - here's a quick youtube tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsk7si5hd1Q&feature=youtu.be .
If you don't have a probow, I recommend you make the Funky Bow!! Here's a quick tutorial... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-1MsNB016M
Once you have your bow made, you securely attach it around your zip tie!
Now all we need to do is poke a small hole in the top of the ghost, run a zip tie through it and slightly close the zip tie... This gives you something to hang your ghost with!
