- Color Printer
- Scissors
- Purple Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Stapler

Directions:
- First things first – cut off a small section of your large paper plate to make the bottom of the haunted house flat.
- Discard the small piece you just cut off.
- Next up – paint the paper plate completely purple {or any other color you like!}
- Set aside to let it dry completely.
- Now print the FREE haunted house printout, listed above in the supply list.
- Print out the file, in color, on a single sheet of white cardstock. You only need to print one per craft.
- Now use your scissors to trim out each section in the printable you just printed.
- Decide which windows you are going to use for your craft {you only need two windows.} There are several different versions of Halloween friends in windows OR you can use the provided blank windows & draw whatever you like inside of them {bonus tip – trim out the center of the blank windows and use your child’s pictures to fill the frames!}
- Use crayons {or any other craft medium} to color in the door cutout.
- Set aside all your small paper pieces.
- Next up – grab the black cardstock and scissors.
- Cut out a long rectangular “chimney” for the haunted house.
- Once the paper plate is dry and you have everything cut out that you want to use for your piece, it’s time to start assembling your Halloween house!
- Start off by gluing a small amount of fake spider webs on top of the paper plate house {or add some any places you like – maybe the chimney too!}
- Finally, glue/staple the other paper embellishments in place on the painted paper plate.
- Add anything else you like for that custom look {like some holiday stickers or glitter!} before displaying proudly for all to see.
