crafts are absolutely a fall favorite of mine...
fall is that time of year where you've settled down from the hustle & bustle of summer,
the weather is a little chillier & makes for indoor friendly activities
& all of the upcoming seasonal festivities inspire!
the sheet ghost is easily one of the oldest & most classic halloween costumes out there,
so i thought, let's shrink it down & light it up
to make adorable little light garlands :)
this is the easiest, peasiest little project and will take you almost no time at all!
put on charlie brown and the great pumpkin and by the time it's over, your little ghosts will be ready to hang & plug in!
ready?
let's create!
+ simple, lightweight cotton fabric, such as muslin, cut into 10"squares
(# of squares depends on # of lights on your strand) // + scissors // + strand of white led lights - i used a strand of 25, but honestly think that 10 would be cutest for this project! (do not use non-led lights, as they could be a fire hazard with the material!) // + twine
1. each square of fabric will cover one light - fold the fabric in half and place the fabric underneath
2. then fold into thirds, angling downward so that the top is more narrow (this will be the head)
and the bottom is handkerchiefed / jagged
3. leave enough fabric at the top for a head and then tie just below at the 'neck' of the ghost
around the top of the light - knot it so that it is secure
around the top of the light - knot it so that it is secure
4. pull and pucker the fabric at the head to open up enough to create a more rounded 'head' shape
repeat steps 1-4 for each light
5.hang your little ghosts, plug them in & watch them glow!
now don't you feel all festive for halloween :)
difficulty: easy breezy
time needed: approximately 30 minutes
worth it?: yes! quick, easy & cute!

have a lovely day!!!
