#4 - Tomato Cage Ghost

This tomato cage ghost is the perfect way to greet trick-or-treaters or Halloween guests right at your doorstep

To make a tomato cage ghost, turn an inverted tomato cage upside down and attach a Styrofoam ball for the head. Wrap string lights around the cage, then drape a white tablecloth or fabric over it to create the ghost’s body. Cut out eyes and a mouth from black fabric or felt and attach them to the head. For an outdoor display, try using a plastic tablecloth or a garbage bag to help it withstand the weather!
