Craft Supplies:
- Ghost Printable – on our landing page
- Cardstock Paper
- Paint Crayons
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Stapler
- Ribbon
Directions:
- First things first – print out the ghost printable, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
- Use the crayons to color in the design however you like. I suggest drawing on the eyes and mouth but you can also use paper cutouts instead.
- When done, trim out the shape and discard excess paper.
- Next grab your colored cardstock paper and pencil.
- Trace your hand TWICE on the paper.
- Trim out both designs.
- Now grab the ribbon and cut off TWO long pieces.
- To finish off the paper ghost craft, simply staple the ribbon and handprint cutouts to each side of the white cutout.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit.
- Then display as is or gift away to spread some cheer this spooky season!
