18. Mystical Celestial Moon Phase Garland
For a celestial, witchy take on Halloween decor, craft a metallic moon phase garland. This elegant wall hanging celebrates the cycles of the moon, adding a dreamy, astronomical vibe to your headboard or window. By using textured clay and metallic paints, you can create a piece of art that feels heavy, ancient, and beautifully crafted.
Roll out white air-dry clay to a quarter-inch thickness. Use round cookie cutters and templates to cut out the different phases of the moon—from the slender crescents to the full, circular moon. Use a straw to punch small holes at the top and bottom of each shape for hanging. Once the clay is completely dry, paint each piece with a textured black primer, then dry-brush metallic gold or silver paint over the surface to mimic the cratered texture of the moon. String the phases together vertically or horizontally using metallic thread or a delicate brass chain.
