Instructions for DIY Dollar Tree Light-up Mop Ghost
- For the first step, put a lot of hot glue all over the plastic piece under the mop
- Take the Dollar Tree vase and attach the part of the mop covered in glue to the glass vase. Press it firmly to the surface until it’s properly glued
- Now, add some more glue around the top of the mop while letting its strands fall back down the vase
- Take a witch hat and put the hat on the top of the mop. Just make sure it’s in place by pressing it firmly
- It’s time to add eyes. You can cut two eyes from a piece of black felt and glue them onto the mop
- For the final step, stick lights inside the vase and secure the battery with a tape
Note: Instead of a vase or tall glass, consider using a cloche, which will make it easier to insert lights inside and give a perfectly rounded shape to the head.
