You can find so many great Halloween items at Dollar Tree as many of you know. I have been finding great items that I can use for decor. This is my second project that I have made from inexpensive items from the Dollar Tree. My first one was about Bats, Branches and Bows that I shared. You can see that project here.
When I bought the bats, I also bought some wooden ghosts. I decided to make a garland using them.
This garland looks great with my Bat Tree.
How to make this garland:
- one package of wooden ghosts (8 per package)
- black felt
- glue
- black/white twine
- white paint
I placed the wooden ghosts on some foil on a cookie sheet and then painted them with white paint. You could do this with a brush or spray paint them. Use whatever you have.
I painted both sides of the wooden ghosts. Once they were dried, I added some black felt so the eyes would stay out. I cut a piece that would cover the eyes and the mouth. You can use black paper or foam core that they have at the Dollar Tree.
The black really makes the eyes and mouth pop.
Once all of the felt was on, I used some black/white twine that I got at the Dollar Tree. If you can't find black/white twine, you can use regular twine or plain black.
I just threaded the twine through the hole in the top of the ghost and then hung them on my window that is in my dining room.
Welcome to Fall. Oops, the first day of fall is actually, Thursday not Wednesday. Sorry! Can you believe that fall is here? I am looking forward to it. I actually got my fall decorations down and started to decorate.
I wish it felt like fall, but hopefully one of these days. I must admit, we have had a few cooler days.
I would like to share a story about my granddaughter. She is a freshman in high school. She was chosen to be on the junior lacrosse team and was doing quite well until last Saturday when she got hit with a stick in the face.
My son, scooped her up and headed to the emergency room. He said she was a trooper through it all.
I won't share her picture, but she busted her lip, has a broken nose, along with several other cuts. I felt so bad for her.
Happy Monday and welcome to the party. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We had a cooler day on Saturday and it was so delightful. Have a great week ahead.

Happy Thursday dear friends. I have been doing some fall creating. I need to get up in the attic and bring down my fall decorations, but that hasn't happened yet. Hopefully, soon.
In the meantime, I put together a couple of projects. One of which is my Bats and Branches project. You can see the complete tutorial here. It is very inexpensive and everything comes from the Dollar Tree.
