Laura, depending on how large an area you will have to decorate will decide how many ghosts you will need...ooops before I start should know if you will have hydro?? A must for this project...having a tree nearby would also add to the design.

I personally had 8 or 10 ghosts..

I bought 10 square white plastic tablecloths at $$$ store..usually about 70" x 90"' not square so I square each one up i.e. 70" x 70". Sounds quit large but not, makes about a 2 ft ghost..now if you have old white sheet you could cut up it would work just as well

Now depending on how many ghosts will depend on how man wood stakes you need..6 ghosts= 6 stakes (will be used for body) ..the stakes are easier to push into the ground if you've cut the bottom into 'v' shape

White stuffing that you buy at craft stores or fabric shop is used to create the head. Simply create a ball, about size of a balloon, drape the white sheeting (plastic or fabric) over the head size (determined by the size of your ghost) and secure with ribbon or wire to the top of the wood stake..
