Craft: Halloween Hanging Ghosts


Halloween Hanging Ghosts
created by Snacking Squirrel


This super easy craft uses basic household items and takes minutes 
to make. A great and fun idea for the family or when you need a quick 
and simple Halloween decoration idea, without having to leave the house


Here's What You'll Need:


1. White or semi-clear white plastic bags


2. String, permanent marker, and scissors


3. Newspaper


4. Paper towel


Step One: Roll one piece of newspaper into a ball, then
 place on a corner of another sheet and roll again, repeating
one or two more times until you reach the size of a baseball


Step Two: Finally, place the ball onto paper towel, and
roll it around until the newsprint doesn't show through


Should look something like this


This will be the "ghost's head"


Step Three: Place in the center of a plastic bag


Step Four: Tightly squeeze at the neck, letting the
 plastic bag handles hang below, using string to fasten


Tie the string into a knot, cutting the extras off


Step Five: Use your scissors to cut halfway
 up the bag creating a bunch of "arms and legs"


Cut as many as you's like your ghost to have


Should look something like this...


Step Six: Using your permanent Jiffy Marker, draw
 on whatever ghoulish face you'd like your ghost to have


Step Seven: Squeeze at the back of the head until you form a tip 
that you can tie another string around which your ghost will hang from


Look at Casper floating around so fancily


These are so quick, easy, and simple to make

Halloween may be over, but next years fun is just around the corner!
