How to Make Tomato Cage Ghosts

Step 1 Wrap the string of lights around the tomato cage.

Place the tomato cage upright. Wrap the string of lights around the tomato cage, starting at the top of the cage. Try to keep the lights evenly spaced. Make sure the outlet end of the lights ends up at the bottom of the cage so it is easy to plug in.
