Needed Supplies:

  • Acrylic Paint - Purple, Orange
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Black Marker
  • Paint Brushes

Instructions:


1. Trace and Cut: Use the pattern to trace and cut one ghost from white foam. Punch holes in ghost where indicated on pattern.


2. Paint: Dip a dry bristle paint brush in purple paint, (wipe excess on a paper towel until brush is almost dry) then wipe brush across edges of ghost. Dip a dry bristle brush in orange paint, (wipe off excess) then lightly brush across face for cheeks. Let dry.


3. Add Personality: Glue eyes to face. Using a black marker draw a ghostly smile from cheek to cheek.


4. Give It Some Color:  Insert cord pieces through holes along bottom of ghost arms and body with ends even on both sides of holes. Knot cord pieces at the edge of the craft foam under each hole. String 5 pony beads as pictured onto both ends of each cord piece. Knot the cord pieces at bottom of last bead to secure.

5. Display It: Insert the remaining piece of cord through the holes in top of ghost arms for the hanger, knotting ends in the back.
