CLEANING OUT YOUR CLOSET IF YOU CAN WALK IN

ARTS AND CRAFTS IDEAS FOR YOUR HANGERS.

Everyone has heard of someone "coming out of the closet", but you never hear of someone going into the closet. Well, I have some ideas for you that will spice up your orientation plans. Halloween is not the only time to haunt it when you find a few hangers around. If you have the time you can get some pulleys and some string at the hardware store, use a rubberband for traction, and make you a ghost out of your extra hangers that are just sitting around not being used. Run the old deflated ball that is in your closet through the hanger at the top, (you can also find styrofoam balls at the craft store) all the way through, and then bend the arms down and hook the hanger to the top of your homemade ghost sketeton. note: Use as many hangers as you need to form a believable ghost when you wrap that old sheet around it. With the pulleys you get at the hardware store, attach the string in a loop and make sure you get enough traction from the rubberband. Attach the "ghost" that you made with the old deflated ball that you tied a sheet around to the string in the pulleys. Watch as the person or group gets the spook of their life when it is dark outside and they are passing by. Run the string quickly through the puleys at just the time they are unexpectant, and watch as they all run for their own closets to do some hiding. Use backlighting to make it look like it is an actual ghost. Your placement of the ghost between the pulleys is up to you, and the more believable the ghost looks the more people you can get into the closet. Try it out you who have not the money to go see the movie everyone else did. You will probably spend less money on the pulleys and screws you find in your hardware store than everyone else does for popcorn these days.
Good luck for your belated Halloween gag that no one will expect.
