BoOoOoOo!

7 years ago I was a subscriber to Martha Stewart Living magazine, why I was I have no clue.  I had 10 month old twins and a 3 year old but apparently I felt I had such free time to make things like this!  Yes! We did make the witch and cats that you see on the cover and we put it up in our yard every year.  Other than our house being behind it, ours looks exactly like the cover, lantern, broom and all 3 cats!  Since its been 7 years I went trolling on the internet to find some new Halloween decoration to add to our repertoire and here is what I found. 

TheseCagey Ghosts were exactly what I was looking for.  Something cute and easy to do with the girls while they are on fall break from school.  Today we set off to the store and got the items that we did not have on hand and the total project cost for us:  $19.00!  The most expensive part of it was the white sheets!  Here is what you will need.

• Tomato cage
• Duct tape
• String lights
• Twist ties
• Socks
• Sticks
• Marker or craft foam for facial features - we used black felt
• White twin sheet

To make one, set up the cage as shown. To form the head, use duct tape to secure the rounded prongs of the cage. Thread the lights through the cage, and secure them with twist ties

For each arm, ball up two socks and duct-tape them to a stick, placed in the ground.  Add marker or pinned-on craft foam facial features to a white twin sheet, then drape it over the structure.  Here is our finished ones and Mini Meringue Payton!

I can't wait to see them light up tonight!

Wow...what a difference a day makes!
