Why empty walls need a ghost
A macrame ghost brings autumnal Halloween vibes into your home in no time. It fills empty walls, creates a playful spooky atmosphere, and stays charming instead of creepy. At the same time, crafting is a creative activity for quiet autumn evenings, and in the end, you get a unique Halloween decoration that can be hung up every year.
BooTip
The macrame should first be cut into pieces of equal length. The first row should be glued on as straight and evenly as possible. After that, the rest almost does itself. With paper details, bows, eyes, and flowers, you can determine the creepiness factor individually. In this case, it's probably more of a cuteness factor.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Draw a dividing line on the round cardboard and glue the macramé along one half of the edge.

Step 3
Cut out eyes, a bow, or other decorations from paper.
Step 4
Glue the cut-out pieces onto the cardboard.

Hang the finished decoration on the wall.
