Eerie Chicken Wire Lawn Specters
For a truly haunting, ethereal yard display that will make passersby stop in their tracks, construct life-sized ghostly figures using chicken wire. This craft requires a bit of patience and a good pair of wire cutters, but the results are absolutely breathtaking. Wrap the flexible hexagonal wire mesh around a mannequin, a friend, or even your own body to mold the shapes of a torso, head, and arms. Once the form is complete, carefully wiggle it free and join the pieces together. Spray paint the finished figures with glow-in-the-dark outdoor paint or wrap them in sheer, weather-resistant white tulle. When placed under a spotlight or nestled among the trees in your front yard, these translucent, hollow figures look like real spirits floating through the autumn mist.
