Craft Supplies:

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!
