Grocery Bag Flying Ghost
Follow these directions submitted by Donna and you can make a little flying ghost using grocery bags.

Materials Needed:

  • 2 White Plastic Grocery Bags
  • Black Magic Marker
  • Needle and White Thread
  • Scissors
Instructions:

Cut the handles off of one plastic grocery bag. Save them. If the bag has any store markings on the front, cut off the front of the bag.

Roll the second grocery bag and the piece you cut from the front of the first grocery bag (if applicable), into a ball. Place this into the center of the 1st grocery bag and bring the edges together to form the ghost's head.

Use one of the bag handles you cut off and wrap it around the head and tie into a knot. Fluff out the ends of the handle to look like arms.

Use the magic marker to make eyes and mouth.

With threaded needle, insert needle through the head (into both bags so thread won't pull out) to form a string to hang your ghost.

Make several to hang around the house or on the trees outside as yard decorations!
