Lawn Ghost Re-Post

Hello My Sparkly Friends!I have had so many requests for this tutorial I am re-posting
it for now and will post my new improved ones for 2012 soon!
Lawn Ghosts are a fun outdoor decoration to make

which will 

have your neighbors

talking for weeks!

They are super easy peasy to make...

Just get yourself some:

Cheap Plastic Drop Cloths

White paper, newspaper

or even leaves to stuff the heads

6 or 8 Lengths of rebar- 3 to 4 feet high

Clear packing tape

a bunch of older outdoor white

Christmas Lights with a long extension cord

HOW TO ASSEMBLE

 1.  Hammer your rebar into the ground 

in a circle formation or a wavy "tango line"

2. Cut lengths of drop cloth double the height you want your ghosts

3.  Form the head by balling up paper.  When you have a large enough ball place in center of stretched out drop cloth section.

4.  Gather the  drop cloth and cover the paper forming a head, almost as if you were covering a lollypop

5.  Place "head" of rebar and wrap packing tape around plastic to form neck.

6.  Randomly cut up from the bottom of the plastic to form ribbons

7.  Gather at the waist area and tape again

Your ghosts should now look like armless

lollypop dolls at this point.

8.  Cut several long strips of dropcloth to form arms.

These are crisscrossed and tied arround chest area, then each "hand end" is knotted to the next ghost's "hand end" to look like they are holding hands.

9.  Place your heap of lights on the center and plug in!

You can keep these up thru Christmas-

Just add wings and string the lights around them

and they

become

Angels!!!

Just don't forget the aluminum foil halos:) 

And just to keep in with the Pink Saturday theme, wouldn't you just adore these pink wellies to flitter around your garden in?!

I am linking this post to Miss Beverly's PINK SATURDAY- the theme this week is Pumpkins so hop on over and see if there are any ideas that catch your fancy!!
