Let the paint dry for a few minutes, then cut the egg carton cells apart. Touch up the edges with black paint.
Turn the cells so the open side is down, and insert eight black pipe cleaners into each cell, four on each side. Bend the pipe cleaners to look like legs.

on 11/22/2005 You will need one white sheet, a black permanent marker, small foam balls and string.
1. Cut or rip out pieces of cloth from the sheet, make sure they all wrap around the foam ball and have at least 4-6 inches of excess.
2. Cut the string to your desired length that you want the ghost to hang.
3. Put the ball center on the cloth simply wrap and tie where the neck would be, leaving the long end of the string to hang from a tree or window.
4. Draw your little ghosts face. Try big long eyes and a big mouth.
5. Your ghost is ready to hang.
Tips:
You can use any size balls or cloth for whatever size ghosts and you can reuse them every year!
You can substitute the white sheet or the foam balls with old clothes for fabric or filling.
Newspaper filling can run and get mushy, but you can use it if you wrap it in sandwich baggies first!
