Hanging Ghosts

We’ve always felt there must be another use for pleated paper cupcake cups, and finally we discovered that they make amusing ghostly spirits. Use jumbo or king-size cupcake liners. Pierce each one with at least one pair of black paper-brad eyes (use two or three pairs to see eyes from more angles). If you can’t find black brads at your craft or office-supply store, paint some brass ones with a black paint marker.

To hang them, thread a needle with monofilament or black thread, doubled and knotted, and pierce a paper liner from the inside. Pull the needle through until the liner sits on the knot. Cut the monofilament next to the needle, then tie the ends together to make a hanging loop.
