Make Your Own Halloween Crystal Ball

Our family just LOVES Halloween! Last Halloween my husband and I built a Halloween crystal ball to add to our Halloween front porch effects.

First, we started with this glass lamp from IKEA.

Step 1:

Thin some white craft paint with a lot of water, it needs to be really runny. Then pour the paint into the glass ball and swirl it around only one half of the bowl (front to back, not top to bottom.)

Step 2:

Super glue the glass ball onto the underside of a bowl.

Step 3:

We purchased this digital projection file from AtmosFX.com. They have the best Halloween projections and we have several of them.

Step 4:

To make it really look like a Halloween crystal ball, we set it up outside on a little table with a black tablecloth.

You can see the projector shining through more in this photo:

We stretched some spiderwebs around it to add to the spooky factor and it also helped to keep things in place. This setup was so great for our Halloween front porch!

The whole porch was just so spooky and fun!

Enjoyed the project?
