Dryer Ball Ghost Bowl Fillers
Today's repurposed Halloween project is an easy one! I'm creating ghost bowl fillers from white dryer balls and buttons.
You may even have all the supplies at home to make this cute and quick project for Halloween. If not, I can tell you where to get them.
If you love to fill your wooden bowls with fun things for the seasons then this easy project is for you!

If you've been around a while you know that I've used white dryer balls for a number of repurposed seasonal projects.

These dryer balls are just so versatile! Besides helping to dry clothes, these whited felt balls have become pumpkins, snowballs, and even a cute pin cushion on Homeroad!
Today, they are going to be ghosts. I'm going to fill a wooden bowl with ghost dryer balls and embellish it with skeletons!

This was an easy one, all I had to do was to gather my collection of old buttons.

I am using several different size buttons on a couple of different size white dryer balls. This is one of the packages of dryer balls I used.
At first I started sewing the buttons onto the balls. It was a good idea but they actually weren't flush enough with the balls.

I decided to switch to hot glue. Good old hot glue works for everything!

I glued eyes and a mouth on each dryer ball. Sam wanted that ball in the worst way!

I even used a small grommet and a small washer for the mouth on some.

Mix in small skeleton bones from the dollar store.
You can even mix in some small pumpkins!
I think they came out adorable and they will be a big hit with my grandchildren.
