How-To: Turn Butternut Squash into Ghosts

Here's an inexpensive and easy Halloween Craft.

Butternut Squash Ghosts


Get some Butternut Squash.  Be sure they "stand up".

In addition, you'll need white and black acrylic paint and a brush or 2.

Paint the squash with the white paint, all over.  Once they dried, I laid them down and painted the bottom.  Covering the entire squash keeps it from rotting.

After the white paint dries, paint some large spooky black eyes.

That's it - I arranged mine in a planter on my front stoop.  You could put them in a window box, lined up on your step or anywhere else that needs a little spooking up.

catch you soon -
