Halloween Decoration: Ghost

So, this is our first year in our house, and we don't have very much in the way of Halloween decorations. I figure I'll wait till everything's on clearance after this Halloween and we'll stock up for next year. In the meantime I decided to make some free, easy decorations.

This is one that kids would have fun doing.



First, get a white plastic garbage bag. Doesn't matter what size, just remember the smaller it is the smaller the ghost.

If it has a draw string top, cut that off.


Then cut down one of the long sides so it's open like the 'top' of the bag.


Now draw your ghost face up in the top corner where the two closed sides of the bag meet.

Now cut off the top corner above the eyes with a hole just about big enough for the spout of a milk jug.


Here comes the milk jug.... tie a string around the handle and tight under the lip of the spout....


Then back around the other side and tie a square knot.

Put your milk jug with the smooth part under the face of your ghost and the handle in back. Pull your string out and hang it up!
