I've search and searched for the
original idea for this tomato cage ghost and I just can't find where I first saw it. I wish I could say it's an
original idea of mine, but it's not. If I discover where I first saw it I'll make sure to give credit where credit is due.
Anyway, I LOVED this idea at first sight. Here is my version, along with a quick tutorial to make your own.
I'm not much of a gardener. About 6 years ago we grew some pumpkins and they turned out great. Ever since then I haven't been able to grow a thing. Even my flowers this year died. So I had to borrow this tomato cage from my mom. If you are a gardener you probably have a couple tomato cages that lay around all winter. Here a great way to get a little more use out of them.

I dug out a string of Christmas lights and wrapped the tomato cage a few times.

Then I threw an old white sheet over the whole thing.

I wanted to make a cute ghost with a smiley face and a pair of shoes sticking out of the bottom of the sheet (like a trick or
treater), but the kids wouldn't have it. They are tired of my "cute" Halloween decorations and wanted something scary. I cut some felt shapes for his face and glued them to the sheet.

Well it's not that scary but it does look pretty cool all lit up.

Our "spooky" front porch.
Love it! I am a gardener and have probably 100+ tomato cages. I could make a whole ghost family! So cute and easy--thank you! ;-)
