What You Will Need
- Paper lanterns I used green, orange, and black
- Vinyl or contact paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Clothes hangers
- Scrap fabric faux spider webs, cheese cloth, black freaky fabric, etc
- Fishing line
- Command outdoor hooks
Instructions
- Cut your face shapes with scissors and glue to lanterns. Be sure to use a weather-proof adhesive so it will last outdoors. Allow to dry completely before continuing.
- While those are drying, read all of the instructions on your Command products. Apply the adhesive and place the hooks on the surface at least an hour before you are going to use them.
- To make the paper lantern hanging ghosts, begin by adding the hanger to the inside of the paper lantern so the lantern sits on top of the hanger. Secure with fishing line.
- Wrap the hanger in scrap fabric and fray as needed to create a spooky effect. You can wrap on faux spider web, cheese cloth, freaky fabric, or anything else you have on hand.
- Take your ghostly creations outdoors and hang up on your outdoor Command hooks. Just tie with another piece of fishing line to get the length and position correct if needed.
