Make a stash of colorful ghosts for topping cakes, lining a mantel, or using them as decoration around the house in their rainbow ghoulish spirit.

To make the colorful ghost cake toppers, I used:

  • Tissue paper in bright colors
  • A bit of filler
  • Small wooden skewers
  • String

A quick project that packs a colorful Halloween punch to get the house and party ready for ghoulish fun.

Place these ghosts in cakes, in foam for a mantel line up, or spotted throughout the house wherever a bright & colorful spook is needed.
