Craft Supplies:

Black Tulip Brand Puffy Paint
Gray Cardstock Paper
Loose Craft Glitter
White Coffee Filter – one per craft
Stapler
Scissors
School Glue
Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

First things first – fold your GRAY cardstock paper in half and open it back up again.
Grab your Tulip puffy paint and squirt some black craft paint ON ONE SIDE before closing it up again.
Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the paper so the black paint inside, makes a fun symmetrical print design on both sides of the paper {keep in mind – paint might ooze from the sides of the cardstock, so be sure to work in an area that can get dirty!}
Now you are ready to open it back up and see the beginning of what your night scene will eventually become.
Go ahead and sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint and set aside the paper for now.
Next up, grab your coffee filters. You will want ONE coffee filter per ghost {I suggest doing two ghosts per night scene so it doesn’t become overcrowded on the paper.}
Fold the coffee filter in half and then in half again, to make a triangle shape out of it.
Use the stapler to staple twice and secure the edges so it won’t come apart.
Now grab your scissors and cut a slight fringe on the edge of your triangle piece, to give the ghost some dimension. Fluff it up with your fingers.
Finally – the last step in completing this ghosts at night craft is to glue down the coffee filter piece{s} on top of the paint splat design and draw on a face with the black marker.
And that’s it! Once finished with your paint splat Halloween scene, set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!
