This adorable Farmhouse Ghost Topiary is a great addition to your Halloween decor!
I saw these cute ghosts at a local craft store and decided to make my own. They were so ridiculously easy to put together. Let me walk you through it.

Materials needed to make the Farmhouse Ghost Topiary
- 1×4 wood scraps
- Dawel rod
- Wood glue
- Foam ball
- White broadcloth
- Cheesecloth
- Black felt
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Zip ties
- Halloween ribbon
My husband began by creating stands out of the 1×4 wood scraps and a dowel rod. The base is 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches with a 5/16th inch dowel rod cut to 12 inches (for the short one) and 16 inches (for the taller one). He drilled a hole in the center of the wood base and then attached the dowel rod with wood glue. Allow wood glue to dry completely.
Next, I adhered the foam ball to the top of the stand. Then I measured out the fabric. Of course, these measurements are going to vary depending on how much you are wanting. I ended up cutting a large square of broadcloth and then measured out the same amount of cheesecloth.
Place the white broadcloth over the foam ball. Cut ovals out of the black felt for the eyes. Hot glue the eyes in place. Lay the cheesecloth over the top of the white broadcloth with the felt eyes.
Secure around the base of the foam ball with a zip tie. Cut off extra zip tie.
Finally, add the Halloween ribbon around the zip tie!
I added them to my Halloween mantel and they look so cute! My husband doesn’t like the eyes but I really don’t care – LOL!
