I am so excited about the holidays this year. Not only is baby Lexi here, but Alison is about to turn four and is really understanding the holidays, which means more fun for me! I wanted to decorate for Halloween this year, and not wait until the day of. I also wanted to do it for very cheap and have Alison be involved. So I did some brainstorming and decided on these ghosts.
First I took a white sheet and ripped it into rectangles (could also do squares or cut circles if you really wanted to be fancy). Then you take two plastic bags that you get from the grocery and wad them into a ball. Place the plastic bags into the center of your fabric.
Now when you pick up your fabric by the bags you will see your ghost start to form.
I used a heavy quilting thread. You could use yarn or whatever you wanted to as long as it was strong enough nto to just break. You simply tie around under the bags in order to make the head and to keep the bags from falling out and the fabric from falling off.
To hang them, use the same thread and just do one stitch through the top.
Knot the end and you are ready to hang.
You can hang them just about anywhere, we put a few in our tree.
And the rest on the front of the house. It was a fun project that Alison and I could do together and that did not cost a lot and we had everything on hand.
