Our idea for Halloween yard decorations this year came about this summer. We thought a ghost and skeleton dance party would be fun for the yard, especially making use of the black lights. We already have a ton of skeletons we’ve gotten a few years of use out of but we had to make the ghosts. We found a few sites that recommended chicken wire for making the ghosts and that ended up being the perfect way to go (despite all the cuts and nicks I got from working with it for two weekends).
Molding chicken wire around foam heads.Gotta use leather gloves for this work and you gotta make at least 5 ghosts for the party to look impressive.Adding the base layer of the ghost, the black fabric helps give some dimension to the shape. Death is the DJ, we made a DJ booth. The cat prop was a placeholder until we made a waterproof version for the month of October. We used light string around tree branches to keep the ghosts floating, they really moved around in the wind. A little video I made the night of Halloween, we blasted disco all night.
