DIY Ghost Ornament

  I bought some round Christmas ornaments in hopes of making a Jellyfish ornament, instead I got a ghost. Happy little fail. 


Let me show you how it happened. 

Supplies 
1-ball ornament -small and med will both work .
     (This is a great way to #upcycle some old , funky ornaments too.)
1- 7" or 8" sq of scrap fabric You can use white , off  white or even print fabric. (If you use print fabric just give it a dry brush of white.)
1- 7" or 8" sq cardboard or card stock
Black permanent marker
Scissor 
Mod Podge

1. Cut a 7" circle from a piece of cardboard. I used the bottom of a bowl from my pantry closet.

2. Trace the circle onto fabric.

3. Cut the circle from the fabric. 

4. Fold the circle in half.

5. Fold the circle again so you have what looks like a slice of pizza.

6. Snip the tip of the  pizza slice 


7. Slip the fabric circle over the top of the ornament, like shown in the photo.


8. Brush on Mod Podge covering 3/4 of the ball. Do not coat the bottom of the ball.

9.Gather the fabric , by hand , at the bottom and smooth around the ball to help the fabric adhere to the ball.  
























10. Let dry. 



11. Use the black permanent marker to add eyes. You could glue googley eyes too. 

You are done. You could use these in a Halloween banner or a wreath or an indoor tree. 




With love and gratitude,

Michele
