Directions:
- First things first – print out the blank ghost template, listed above, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need ONE print per wand craft.
- Next up – if desired, color/decorate the printable however you choose.
- When done, trim it out and discard excess paper.
- At this point in time you should also add on some googly eyes so the ghost can see.
- Now grab your crepe paper and tear/cut off five to six long stripes.
- The final step for this wand craft is to staple the various crepe paper pieces to the bottom of the decorated ghost cutout and then staple that combination to one end of your wavy popsicle stick. You should be able to hold the other end and the butterfly stay in place.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit and then “wave” your fa-BOO-lous piece all over to give it the appearance that it is flying through the air.
