Fabric Ghosts Offer Lasting Boos!
Shannon Staker's ghost how-to offers a lasting Halloween decoration idea that can be used and re-used year after year. Ghosts made of fabric, rather than tissue, are durable and just as frightening.
Materials:
- Extra thick thread
- Two googly eyes
- Two square pieces of fabric (suggested: 15 inches by 15 inches)
- Needle
Instructions:
- Place a square piece of fabric on the ground.
- Grab the second piece of fabric and bunch it all up into a ball.
- Place the rolled up fabric in the center of the square piece.
- Grab the bunched up fabric from underneath the square piece and let the loose fabric hang down straight.
- Grab the fabric tight in your fingers.
- Tie a string aroung the entire neck. Pull as tight as you can, without breaking your thread.
- Take your threaded needle and slide in through the top of the ghosts head.
- Tie it into a knot and cut the thread about 16 inches or so depending on how low you want them to hang from what you are hanging them from.
- Use hot glue and glue on some beady eyes.
- There you have it, a friendly cloth ghost!
- Now grab your helper and head outside.
- Add one to your wreath for a fresh Halloween look.
- Hang a bunch and there you have it a ghost tree.
