{Halloween Lanterns}

Ok, I KNOW you've seen these AMAZING Ghosts that Christy from Embellished Bayou made.

Aren't they they cutest things you've ever seen? I know, right? I fell in love with them too! So I HAD to make some! I headed to the thrift store and picked up some clear glass light shades {oops, forgot to take a before picture, but I'm sure you can imagine the before}.

I only had a little bit of white paint handy, so I decided to make:

1 Ghost

1 Pumpkin

And {my VERY favorite} 1 Frankenstein!

 
Cute, right? LOVE them! These are sooo fun, and so easy to make.  I just painted the inside the solid color, painted faces on the outside and mod podged over the face.  For Frankie I added a zipper and some bolt thingies. Not bad for $2 bucks each, huh?  I LOVE them!
