Halloween Ghost Craft

October is Craftober!
Well, that's what we call it here in the Nickel House:)
Today's craft is a Halloween Ghost using stuff you probably have around the house already.


Here's what your gonna need:
1 white plastic table cover
A few sheets of white tissue
Lots of plastic grocery bags
Ribbon or string to tie
Marker for the face or you can print on line
Scissors


First you are gonna stuff a grocery bag full of all those other grocery bags you have everywhere!
Then you want to start forming it into a head

I wrapped a few sheets of tissue for 2 reasons:
1 - to cover some of the print of the plastic bags
2 - Helps give it a smoother surface
Once you have it the way you want it. Tie it off with the ribbon or string

Cut the plastic table cover in half. You will have enough to make 2 ghosts
Cover the plastic ball you just made with the table cover

Tie it off with ribbon again.

I took some scissors and shredded the bottom

I chose to glue on the face instead of using a marker.
If it seems it won't form well on the face, cut the face away from the mouth and
you will be able to glue the facial features on the ghost head better.
Or just make a face with a black marker
Wait for it to dry completely
And he's ready for hanging!

HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!!!!
