This viral thrift store ghost painting challenge is an easy way to revamp an old painting into frugal Halloween<\/a> decor. <\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s a must-try spooky Halloween<\/a> DIY decor idea!<\/h2>\n

Consider grabbing a painting at your local thrift store to makeover into a haunted masterpiece. Adding a few ghostly details using acrylic paint to an existing painting will transform it into something special to display for Halloween!<\/p>\n

The viral ghost painting trend on TikTok<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> was a huge hit last year and for good reason. Let’s just say I can confirm that it’s as fantastic as it sounds. This topic is the perfect theme to explore here at Hip2Save.com<\/a> and am so excited to show you my results!<\/p>\n

Head to your local thrift store to scope out possible paintings!<\/h2>\n

Honestly, deciding on the perfect painting or print is the hardest part of this process. If there is a print you’d like to embellish, just remove it from the glass before painting. Most examples I spotted online were smaller-scale pictures, but I thought this large-scale painting on canvas would be fun to makeover. Plus mine was just $8 at Goodwill!<\/p>\n

If you’re hesitant to participate due to a lack of painting skills, don’t be!  I have never really painted on canvas like this before, but managed to add in some simple ghosts, pumpkins, a cat, and bats. I also added some leaves in fall colors.<\/p>\n

Don’t feel like going thrifting?<\/h2>\n

Skip the thrift store and do this!<\/h2>\n

Our very own Chelsey turned the ghost painting idea into a fun girls’ night and could not find thrift store paintings after a few trips to Goodwill. She and her friend decided to buy these inexpensive Walmart photo frames<\/a> and paint the stock art that is inside!<\/p>\n

What a fun and convenient way to experience this painting trend. Maybe you already have something at home you could makeover too. Chelsey did such a great job adding her little spooky details!<\/p>\n
