Make your own garden ghosts for Halloween

Step 1
Start by screwing two lengths of pallet wood together by cutting a small length of scrap wood and screwing it to the back as a horizontal brace. Attach one horizontal piece at the top and one piece at the bottom.

Step 2
Use a jig saw or band saw to cut a rounded top to one end of the wood. Sand any rough edges smooth.

Step 3
Roughly paint on some Resene House White, leaving some wood showing through to give the ghosts a spooky translucent look. You might want to try using a dry brush or use a rag to wipe off some of the paint.

Step 4
Next, paint on some Resene Quarter Parchment to form some contour, shape and warmth around the face of the ghost.

Step 5
Finish by painting on a face with Resene Black. Weatherboards in Resene Triple Ash and windows in Resene Quarter Thorndon Cream.
