Anyone decorate their yard for fall? My Grandchildren and I always decorate for
Halloween.
One of my favorite things to use for decorating is the V-shaped tomato cages. I tip them upside down and put a large styroform ball into the spokes. I now can make any figure I want.
We made a group of 3 ghost. I drape a white sheet over the styroform head, cut out the bottom so it just touches the ground. Tie a large orange ribbon just under the styroform ball and cut out two oval eyes, out of black electrical tape. I secure them to the ground with a dowel so they do not tip over.
We also make a witch with another tomato cage on the front porch. A strobe light in a cauldron with green tissue over the light. Some webs and a few spiders, a black cat and a few bats flying over head and you have a witch cooking up a great halloween brew.
In the front yard we do a grave-yard scene. Tombstones with bones half dug in the ground. A grim reaper made with another large tomato cage.
Tomato cages aren't just for tomatoes.
My grandchildren love this decorating we have a party decorating day.
Happy Halloween Decorating what do you do for halloween? Do you have a special things you do with your children on this fun holiday?
