A few years ago, we wanted ghosts that we could hang on our front porch that will blow in the breeze. How fun and spooky, right? Eben and I had a super fun time making the 4 large ghosts, it is a really fun memory! They only cost us $5. We had everything to make these, except the white sheets which we paid $2.49 each for at the thrift store. Want to make ghosts with your little goblins? Read on to get started.
Here is what you will need to make 4 ghosts:
- 2 queen or king sized white sheets or bed skirts
- 4 hangers
- Wire or twine
- Any type of plastic bag
What to do:
- Cut the sheets into 4 large pieces, cut the edges so they are jagged
- Stuff fabric scraps into a plastic bag and tie it around the top of a hanger
- Hold the ghost by the neck. Eben thought “choking” the ghost was fun and made gagging noises while he did it. This is when I wrapped wire (or you can use twine) around the neck.
- Insert a piece of wire at the top of the head for hanging.
What do you think of my upcycled flying ghosts? What is your favorite Halloween memory?
Very cool and spooky, probably look great in the dark…
Hi Kara, Thank you. They do look great in the dark, especially since Jayson replaced our regular outdoor bulbs with black lights.
