What you'll need:
- 25 or more suckers (no bigger than Tootsie Pops)
- Box of white tissues
- Black yarn or thin ribbon
- Small black marker
- Large basket
- Hot glue gun
- Small Halloween decoration
How to make it:
- Leaving the suckers in their wrappers, drape one sheet of white tissue over the head of each sucker and tie it off with yarn or ribbon, making a small bow (not a knot, those are too hard for little hands to untie). Let the rest of the tissue drape over the sucker for a ghost effect.
- Make two dots with black marker for the eyes.
- Hot glue the ghost-decorated sucker the top rim of the basket (this is an adult-only job). Drape the ribbon, accordian style, along the top rim of the basket, ending with a raffia bow.
- Hot glue the decoration in the middle of the raffia bow, and you now have a great "hand out basket" for the front door.
