Make Your Own Hanging Ghosts
For some spooktacular fun this Halloween, hang some ghosts from the trees in your yard for an awesome outdoor haunting Halloween decoration. Sure to be a hit and set the spooky scene for trick-or-treaters! Enhance the spooky atmosphere and play a Halloween sounds CD from the window to really frighten passer bys during Halloween season! Children will need help with this project. |

Steps: |
 |
Secure the button to one end of the fishing line, as you would if you were sewing the button to clothing. Loop the fishing line through the button and tie a knot in the fishing line to keep the button on the fishing line. |
|
Using the knitting needle, poke a hole in the Styrofoam ball from one side, through the center and out the other side.*. |
|
Push the fishing line through the hole in the Styrofoam ball, so that the button holds the fishing line in place, without it slipping through the ball. |
|
Using a pair of scissors, or a needle, make a very small hole in the bottom (closed end) center of the pillowcase. |
|
Pull the fishing line through the hole in the top of the pillowcase, so that the Styrofoam ball forms a head for your ghost. |
|
Cut out small triangles, zig-zags or curves along the bottom edge of the pillow case for a traditional ghost bottom look. (Optional) |
|
Using a black permanent marker, give your ghost a face. (Optional) |
|
Tie the top end of the fishing line around a tree branch so that your ghost hangs at the desired height |
