Tomato Cage Ghosts

I saw this idea in the Lowe's Creative Ideas booklet and knew that someday these too would be in my front yard!

So finally over the past week we managed to bust them out.

We took our painter's drop cloths and the rope lights and cut down the first drop cloth as instructed. However, once I threw that over one of our tomato cages, I decided it was too short. Luckily we had a broken tomato cage that Aaron cut down so I could still use the drop cloth.

Next we wrapped the rope lights around the cages . . . and sat cinder blocks across the bases so the wind won't tip them over.

Then came the draping of the fabric. Once we had that to our satisfaction, Aaron drew faces on the ghosts.

We painted the faces yesterday and last night plugged them in.

How great do they look? We have Mama and Papa and Baby . . . spooky!
