Window Silhouette

Last Halloween, I put up a simpler version of this in my living room window. We had just moved in and for the first time in our marriage had a lovely paned window. I covered each pane with a sheet of white paper then drew a simple ghost (much easier to draw than a witch on a broomstick) and trimmed the sheets where the ghost's outlines were. It's always nice to find a project that I can do spontanteously from beginning to end without going to the store.

I have 3 windows in the front of the house and my intention was to do all three windows with different ghosts, but I was too morning-sick to finish. And one ghost made my kids just as happy as 3 would have. The ghost looked especially good at night when it was backlit by our livingroom lamps. I also love this project because — like the apples — I can throw it away November 1st. Maybe I'll put 1 or 2 or 3 up this week.

If you're up for trying the witch, you can find a template and directions here.
