Hello Everyone! It’s count down time for the big Birthday/Halloween Party for our twin grandsons. The party is scheduled for this coming Saturday. They have planned all kinds of fun Halloween kids games, hay rides, and a bon fire with lots of food. Charlie and I are putting the finishing touches on the creative “scary” things that we have made for the haunted ghost walk that is also planned to take place in the woods behind their house.
My attempt at making “scary” ghost turned out to be anything but scary I think! In fact, I think they look more like angels than ghosts.
I made six of them using a tomato cage, a pumpkin, plastic drop cloth and a round plastic table cover for each one.
I connected them so that they are circling around a bonfire made of logs with lights thrown on top.
Here’s what they look like at night.
I placed a flashlight under each one so that they will glow.
So tell me, do you think they look like ghosts or angels?
This is going to be a busy week as we start clearing out the woods and setting up for this haunted ghost walk.
As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful week.
Gail

Gail, you are seriously talented at creating these Halloween party things. First the scary skeletons carrying the coffin and now these ghosts. They are so cool lit up. I would never have thought of that.
ReplyDeleteBravo.
I love your scary ghosts! A few blocks away there is a house that has them (my son loves them) but I got to tell you, yours are much better. I love that they light up. You are so clever! This is going to be an awesome party!
ReplyDeleteGhosts, for sure, Gail! You and your hubby have done a fabulous job getting ready for the Halloween walk. These are going to be a hit.
ReplyDeleteOh my you are so talented. They look fantastic!!! They look like ghosts to me.
ReplyDeleteYour ghosts look wonderful, but they ae anything but scary, ummm... I would have to say that they look like angels to me. But, to children, they will look like ghost, I think, not scary ghosts though, you don't want to scare them to death!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
Sweet ghosts, like Casper....friendly! And that is better for your grandsons.

ReplyDeleteThis is just too cool. It is a little creepy but if you think of them as angels you can leave them up till christmas!
ReplyDeleteI would call them sweet and not scary looking ghosts. Caper like for sure :)
ReplyDeleteI bet your grandchildren are going to love them!!
These are so cute! Love the way you used the flashlight underneath them, and the lighted "bonfire," in the center of the circle! Great idea! I bet your twin grands are going to love them! Hope all goes well with the party!

This is going to be an amazing party!!! Love, love the ghost!!! The kids are going to have so much fun! Can't wait for you to share!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! What a great idea of using tomato cages.
ReplyDeleteI much prefer angelic ghosts over haunted ones! They look wonderful lit at night!
ReplyDeleteI am just BLOWN AWAY at how wonderfully creative you are! I definitely think they look like ghosts! I just love how this looks. The idea of having them circle a bonfire and how you used lights for the fire and flashlights in the ghosts.......Genius! I'm calling you next time I need some party inspiration. Your grandsons are going to have a blast!
ReplyDeleteGail, that takes ghostly to a poetic level! Pinning!!

Wildly Original linky party is open
This is so cute!! I think they could go either way ... ghosts or angels! You could just keep them there until Christmas. :) Very clever and I'm glad you shared how you created them. Hope the Halloween party was fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, Gail, this is such a clever and really awesome decoration! I think, definitely, they look like ghosts. I'm sure your grandsons were delighted.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Ya'll did a great job! I'm pinning this for next year!
ReplyDeleteCute idea. Add some wings and they could be angels for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

That is absolutely brilliant!!! I love them! I think they could go either way for ghosts or angels!
ReplyDeleteThis is so creative and fun!!! Great job. Your party will be awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I saw this post was that they WERE angels! They are beautiful. I know your party is going to be a huge success. You've worked so hard on it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe leave the "angels" and put halos on them for Christmas!!!??? You'd be ahead of the Christmas decorating game. . .LOL
I agree with the angels. What a great Christmas idea!
ReplyDeleteFor me, that was great, I find them cute instead of scary. I will study on how to make that design and I think that is also suitable for Christmas occasion and can also a home decor. Thank you.
