A small ghost decoration holding an orange pumpkin is on a wooden tray. DIY Gus the Ghost dupe. Pottery barn dupe. Dollar tree craft.

I think Gus the Ghost won Halloween last year. He was literally everywhere and such a popular item. I just couldn't justify spending $90 on him from Pottery Barn so I made my own! I don't use mine as a pillow but love it as decor. Follow along for the easiest craft using items you likely have at home already. Happy Fall!



SUPPLIES


- Toilet paper roll

- White fabric (I used a microfiber car cleaner from Dollar Tree but you can use anything white, even a towel!)

- 2 pumpkins (I used one medium, one small)

- Black paper or fabric

- Hot glue gun


STEPS


  1. Place a pumpkin on top of your toilet paper roll. You can glue this down if preferred.

  2. Drape white fabric over the top.

  3. Using a hot glue gun, glue the smaller pumpkin to each side of the fabric.

  4. Cut two circles out of black paper or fabric and hot glue as eyes.

  5. Fluff and display!
