skeleton ghost for the mantel or anywhere

I had a little styrofoam skeleton head I wasn't sure what to do with. I love decorating for halloween and  I needed something for the mantel. This creation was done in minutes....

Here's what you need:

styrofoam skeleton head

cheese cloth ( 3 pieces to layer)

plastic skeleton hands

white wire hanger

glue gun (optional)

I was going to attach the hands but wanted to see finish effect right away so I placed them as if the ghost were seated. You can attach cheese cloth to the top of the head with glue gun or not. Ooh, creepy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

update a mid century table lamp

I purchased this lamp for $6 at a thrift shop and had the plug rewired at my local hardware store for $11. Found glossy white paint in the basement and painted over old base. Ordered a black drum lamp shade (8"x 11") from lampsplus.com for $20 and I have an awesome new lamp for less then $40 bucks!

super cute on the bar!
