[DIY] The Easiest & Affordable Halloween Decor: How to Summon Casper The Friendly Ghost

In today's economy, pinching pennies wherever and whenever possible is a must especially when it comes to the holidays.  Without a budget, it's very easy to lose track and spend all of our money on holiday decor.

This year, I focused on creating a DIY project that uses every day items that you can find at home.  Today, you'll learn how to summon Casper The Friendly Ghost!

To get started on this super simple and affordable DIY project, here are the supplies you'll need:

1. White paper
2. Sharpie 
3. Pencil to trace
4. An old picture frame

Let's get started on our Halloween project!

Step 1: Draw an outline of a face using your pencil.  Depending on your style or vibe, you can do any facial expression.  I normally go with a friendlier/ PG version of Halloween versus one that is gruesome or scary, but today, I'll do an easy ghost facial expression.

 Step 2:  Once you got the outline, trace it with your sharpie. This pack of sharpie was one that I bought at Walmart. It came with different sizes which is perfect for outlining and shading.

Step 3: Fill in the outline and add the finished product to your frame.  The frame I chose was a gold color with designs to give it a more traditional, old school feel to it.  

                                                 

Congratulations! You have officially summoned Casper The Friendly Ghost!
