Spooky Ghost!

This little ghost can be put together quick! You can make quite a few and hang them from a window sill, over a door frame, or even against a wall. They are lightweight and easy to hang for an easy Halloween decoration. BOO!

Supplies:

• white napkin (the heavier ones will be stronger and most recommended)
• black felt marker, googly eyes, black foam, or tiny black buttons
• scissors
• white string or yarn
• cotton balls or cotton batting
• glue gun

Directions:

1. Gather all your supplies together.
2. Cut your yarn or string 4 to 5 feet long, depending where you are going to hang the ghost. Set it aside.
3. Spread your napkin flat on a counter or tabletop.
4. Place a handful of cotton balls or cotton batting in the middle of it.
5. Grab all the corners and gather up. Put what will be the head of the ghost in your hand on the outside of the napkin.
6. Tie the centre of the string around what will be the ghost’s neck, so the stuffing stays inside. Then you’ll have two long strings to hang the ghost with.
7. Put the ghost eyes on it. If using a glue gun, let the glue cool before hanging!
