DIY Halloween Door Hanger

Start by grabbing your wooden letters and giving them a good coat of black acrylic paint.

I painted all sides and edges to keep everything nice and sleek.

Let them dry completely before moving on to the next step.

While your letters are drying, it’s time to bring the spooky ghosts to life! I hand-drew a cute little ghost shape on paper first (feel free to get creative with their shapes!), then used that as a stencil.

Cut the little ghost with your scissors.

Trace your ghost onto white felt and cut them out.

Also, cut out black felt eyes and mouths for each ghost.

Glue those little faces onto your ghosts.

I drew the wavy lines of the flying sheets of the ghosts but this is totally optional.

And look at that, they’ve got personality!

Once your letters are dry, arrange them in a vertical stack. I went for an asymmetric look by slightly overlapping the center “O” over the “B” and the last “O.” This gives it a fun, 3D feel!

Use your hot glue gun to glue the letters together in this vertical formation.

Make sure everything is secure before moving on.

I glued mine onto the letters in a way that made them look like they were floating around.

You can play around with their positions to make it your own, but I loved how they looked scattered across the letters.

To finish it off, grab your orange polka dot ribbon. I looped mine through the top of the letter “B” and tied a knot, creating the hanger.

The bright ribbon pops against the black letters and really gives the door hanger a festive feel!

And that’s it! Your DIY Halloween Door Hanger is ready to spook up your front door.

Hang it up, step back, and enjoy your spooky-cute door hanger.
