Wicked Welcome Witch

Gourds and Pumpkins
Blow up several small balloons. Coat them in papier-mâché, and allow them to dry and harden over night.

Make stems and leaves out of felt, and glue them over the hole where you removed the balloon.

Stand this ghost decoration near your front door or hang him from a tree for a haunting effect.
