New Spook

BBC came home from school today and informed me that I needed more spook on the door (he’s 5, remember) . He said there were lots of cheery things but not as many spooky. So while he was at AWANAS tonight I threw together this spook as a surprise for him.

I can’t leave it out there because it is supposed to rain again tomorrow but it made him really happy when he came home to find it. Another fun memory!

The construction was super easy. I grabbed a wire topiary cage from my gardening closet. Threw a string of halogen lights around it. Popped a white sheet over the top and draped it just so. Then added two eyes with mascara – didn’t want to ruin the sheet and I know that stuff comes out. I’m lazy about taking off makeup at night sometimes!

I’m linking up with Cheri and her holiday party. If you missed my REAL Halloween decor you can check it out here. We have had a lot of fun this year! Hope we have inspired you to create some memories of your own! Happy Halloween, y’all!

    This came out so adorable–the mascara is a great idea but you are right you don’t want it to look like a crying mascara streaked ghost in the rain.

    That came out so cute! I love it! I also love your mini ghosts from your previous post. I don’t like candy corn either. :)
