Default Ghost in Tree Project to make with the kids!

Here is a cute Ghost in tree Halloween center piece project to make with the kids!
Just use left over scraps of white fabric, mini 3/4" styrofoam balls, recycle a soup can, get a branch from outside, and you've got a spooky craft to put out for Halloween! The best part is, your kids will love making it too!

Enjoy!

That would be really spooky if you used glow in the dark fabric for the ghosts!

You can do this without purchasing the stryfoam balls...use cotton balls...or the cotton that come in a pill bottle. I made these with my boys back in the 80's...nice to see it again.
You may need to put some small stones in the can to make the branch stand upright.

We have a neighbor who puts those little ghosts all over a tree in the front yard. Looks so cute.
