These floral tulle ghosts that I crafted for Halloween are anything but basic. Don’t they have such a fun vintage vibe?

They turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself. I used a pink, orange, and beige color combination, which lends itself nicely to Halloween, fall, and Thanksgiving.

Just hot glue wool roving (about 2 ounces are needed) and fairy lights to a fake pumpkin and add in a...
