Hello My Sparkly Friends!I have had so many requests for this tutorial I am reposting
it for now and will repost my new improved ones soon!
Here is 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
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 dropcloth 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 here is some pink,
