Got Boos? #DIY Ghosts for the Yard

 This project is so easy and kids can help out with the faces!

You will need;

🎃Three round white vinyl table cloths. I got mine at Dollar General. Of course more if you want to make more.

🎃 Saved grocery bags to make a ball for the head. The bags are waterproof. Or stuff a bag with paper or whatever. Just make sure your outside bag is white and writing on the back of head.

🎃 Twine or sturdy string, scissors, glue, stapler and zip ties optional.

🎃 Long stick from yard if putting in ground. White lights optional.

🎃 Craft pieces for faces. I use Aleene's craft glue because it works great. I don't suggest drawing faces as it will not look that great on table cloth material. 

Making the Ghost

Stuff a white grocery bag with bags or newspaper or leftover paper of sort. Double up on bag if needed. Form a ball and tie off the bottom where the handles are at with twine. See below example.

 Next unpack a white, round table cloth. Drape over ball and get it placed the way you want it. 

🎃Take glue and carefully lift cloth and add glue on balled garbage bag and gently press cloth and smooth out glue. Gently reshape head if needed. Be careful! If glue gets on cloth body then it will bind up and you won't have a flowing ghost. 📌Now let dry. 

IF PUTTING ON A STICK YOU MAY WANT TO TIE HEAD TO STICK WITH TWINE BEFORE YOU GLUE CLOTH. I used an extra long piece of twine when I tied bag so I had enough to then tie on stick. If you are hanging then let dry.

🎃 Once  your cloth is dry on the head then you may add the face pieces. Let dry.

I used craft scraps as I will likely toss this cheap decor. I used heavy reflective paper, pom poms with added google eyes and buttons.

🎃 Once the face is dry you may place if already on a stick or staple a twine loop on the top to hang. Grab a small inconspicuous bit of bag and cloth towards the back of the head. You will make a half moon shape on the head. 📌It is important you grab bag and cloth or they will separate.  Cut a piece of twine to desired length. Staple first end horizontal. If you staple vertical the twine will fall out. Do the same for the other end. You now have a small or long loop to hang on a tree.

Take your time and have fun. This is such a simple craft. It costs practically nothing to make.

Spooktacular with white lights!
