How to make easy ghost Halloween decorations

by

Have you started to think about how you are going to decorate for Halloween? I have and I want to go big this year. I have spotted a few projects like these ghosts that start out with a simple balloon. You know what’s cool about balloon decor? After the holiday is over the decoration doesn’t take up a lot of storage space. The balloon can safely be deflated and used for other projects. Pop on over to the blog A Girl and A Glue Gun for the tutorial on how to make these ghosts with and without balloons, but all with unique faces.

Upcycled Glass Solar Garden Mushrooms – A Whimsical DIY Delight

Looking to add a touch of magic to your garden? The Upcycled Glass Solar Garden Mushrooms tutorial on Instructables by CrazyClever is a fantastic project that combines creativity, sustainability, and a bit of whimsy.

This DIY guide takes you through the process of transforming old chandelier glass parts into enchanting mushroom-shaped garden lights. The bell-shaped glass diffusers are perfect for this project—they naturally resemble mushroom caps, have ample openings to let sunlight charge the solar panels, and emit a soft, ambient glow rather than the harsh brightness of standard LEDs.

The stems are crafted from cement, shaped around the solar light stakes using cling wrap. This method not only gives each mushroom a unique, organic look but also ensures they are sturdy and weather-resistant. The project is designed to be loose and organic, encouraging creativity without the need for precise measurements.

  • Upcycling Techniques: Transforming old glass items into functional and decorative pieces.

  • Mushroom Crafting: Creating unique mushroom shapes using simple materials.

  • Outdoor Lighting: Incorporating solar lights into your garden décor.

If you’re looking for a fun, eco-friendly project that adds charm to your outdoor space, these upcycled glass solar garden mushrooms are a delightful choice. The tutorial is easy to follow, and the results are both practical and enchanting.
