Last year my ghost door hanging and my 10 hanging ghosts got moldy from one too many humid Florida Octobers. So I trashed them rather then packaging them up with all of our costumes for a year.<\/p>\n<p>This year I decided to make another batch of ghosts&#8230;and I figured I&#8217;d share this fun and easy homemade Halloween craft with you! And you get to recycle\/repurpose plastic grocery bags, so win win for reducing waste!<\/p>\n<p>Materials required:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One package of Gerber white flatfold diapers. I&#8217;ve included a picture of the package label below. Don&#8217;t get &#8220;prefolds&#8221;; they won&#8217;t work. You could also buy a cheap white sheet set and cut the fabric into approximately 2&#8242; x 2&#8242; squares.<\/li>\n<li>Transparent monofilament, such as inexpensive fishing line. This will make the ghosts appear to float.<\/li>\n<li>Stuffing for the heads of the ghosts: I used plastic grocery bags, preferably white ones like Walmart.<\/li>\n<li>Twist ties or pipe cleaners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s all pretty straightforward: wad up 2-3 plastic grocery bags and cinch them in a diaper with a twist tie or pipe cleaner. Then thread a needle with some monofilament (about 1 yard per ghost) to make a hanging loop through the top of the head. \u00a0Simply hang them outside on your favorite tree or under your favorite eave&#8230;and let them blow in the wind!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1467\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1467\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1467\" title=\"photo3\" src=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo3.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1467\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the packaging to the diapers I picked up at Walmart.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1466\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1466\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1466\" title=\"photo4\" src=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo4-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo4.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1466\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We have fishing gear, so I didn&#8217;t have to travel far to find some monofilament&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1468\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1468\" title=\"photo2\" src=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/photo2.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thread the monofilament through the very top of the ghost.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love my ghosts!
