2. Glue ghost faces to one tall and one short ghost. Glue snowman faces to
the other two snowmen. Arrange white beads on the ghosts’ smile to look
like teeth. Stitch or glue in place. Stitch or glue the white buttons onto the
ghost eyes. Stitch or glue red beads and craft buttons in place for snow-

the tall ghost. Stitch the short snowman to the short ghost. (1/4 “ seam)
3. Turn the tomato stands upside down. Bend the ends into the middle so
they are slightly rounded. String the Christmas lights loosely around the
stands.

over the tomato cage. If you are using the snowman side discretely pin the
hats to the snowman and slide over the cages. Plug in the lights and ad-
mire your work!
