What you'll need:
- Orange corrugated plastic (pumpkin)
- White corrugated plastic (ghost)
- Green corrugated plastic (stem of pumpkin)
- Yellow "Painters" paint marker
- Black "Painters" paint marker
- 4 wire hangers
- Wire cutters
- Pliers
- Orange electrical tape (pumpkin)
- White electrical tape (ghost)
- Scissors
- Scotch brand foam Mounting Tape
- For Pumpkin: Cut out a pumpkin shape from the orange corrugated plastic. Make sure you cut it so that the lines in the plastic are vertical.
- Cut out a stem from the green corrugated plastic and attach to the pumpkin with the mounting tape.
- For Ghost: Cut out the ghost shape from the white corrugated plastic. Make sure you cut it so that the lines in the plastic are vertical.
- Draw the faces onto the pumpkin and ghost with the paint markers. Use yellow and black for the pumpkin, use only black for the ghost.
- Cut the hooks off all four hangers with the wire cutters.
- Unfold and straighten the hangers.
- Using the pliers, fold down the top two inches of each straight wire to form a hook.
- Push two hangers down through each plastic decoration so they come out of the bottom and can be stuck into the ground.
- Secure the hangers on the back side with the electrical tape.
