I finally decided that I needed to make some sort of Halloween decorations with my kiddos. As I was looking around my house and stumbled onto some Walmart bags, which gave me the perfect idea! So we made Scary Ghosts to put in a tree in our front yard!
Here is how they turned out...
They were super easy to do, and my children loved making them! All you need is...
White Trash Bags
Grocery Bags
Sharpy (to color the faces)
Scissors
Twine (I think I use this in practically everything I do!)
Now all you do is stuff the garbage bag with the grocery bags to make the head. Then tie it off with the twine.
Just hang them from the tree and you are done!
They are such cute little Ghosts!

I found you over on One Tough Mother's Tuesday party. These look like so much fun! If only I had a tree in my yard to hang these in. I'll have to figure something out, these would be great. Well and cleverly done!
Its so funny. I have been trying to think of creative ideas that are easy and that I could do with the kids I babysit. I have also been trying to find something cheap to decorate with for halloween and then I saw this. Its a awesome idea and im totally stealing it. lol. J/k. Borrowing. :)
