Ring holders are often simple and functional. But I found most of them lacking a whimsical side, so I created a cute clay ring holder. It serves as a ring holder and a Halloween decorative because it is a ghost. Meet Ghost King Bob, an adorable clay ring holder.
Making this ghost ring holder is easy, creative, and so much fun. You can involve your kids in shaping the clay or painting once it is dried. You only need two things to make this incredibly adorable DIY clay ghost ring holder and it comes together for under $10. Let’s learn how to make it.
Materials Required:
- Air dry clay
- Black and white acrylic paint
- Clay shaping tools (optional)

How to Make Ghost Ring Holder for Halloween
You need a ball of air-dry clay. Shape it into a cylinder of about 4 inches, while making sure that one side is flat and the other is round.
Next, start adding arms by pulling some of the clay out about 1 inch beneath the head of the ghost. Ensure to add fabric folds underneath the open arms. This is a fairly simple step and you don’t need any clay shaping tools, you can use your bare fingers to achieve perfect results.
Once the head and arms are shaped nicely, make more fabric folds at the front and the back. Smoothen any rough pieces of clay using water or a sponge (I used plain water and my fingers).
Now set it aside to dry for 48 hours.
Once it has dried, mix some black and white acrylic paint and add it to provide more depth to the clay fabric folds. Paint two eyes at the head and it is ready.
Now you can display this DIY ghost ring holder around the house and use it to hold your rings, and keys, or let kids play with this cute little Halloween decorative.
I even used Ghost King Bob in my Halloween Ghost Town Display this year.
