Practically Functional

1. Floating Ghosts

What you’ll need:

  • Foam balls
  • Lightweight white cotton fabric (about 1 square yard per ghost)
  • Black paper
  • Scissors
  • Dowels or garden stakes
  • Spray adhesive

How to make them:

  1. Start by cutting your fabric into squares. When you place the fabric over the foam ball, you want it to hang down well past the ball to form the body of the ghost.
  2. Cut out two small ovals from black construction paper to make eyes for each ghost.
  3. Stick the dowel into the foam ball at least 3″-4″.
  4. Spray the top of each foam ball with spray adhesive, place the fabric square over the ball, and press it down onto the adhesive at the top.
  5. Plant the ghosts in your yard, making sure the dowel or garden stake goes at least 6″ into the ground to help keep the ghosts sturdy even if it’s rainy or windy.
