Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tissue Paper
• Ribbon
• Tape
• Marker

1. 
    

   Wad up a piece of tissue paper into a ball. Don't make it to small like the one on the left or your ghost's head will look funny.

2. 
    

   Lay a piece of tissue paper flat and put your ball into the middle of it. Wrap the tissue paper around the ball and twist it. Wrap a piece of tape around the neck of the ghost

3. 
    

   Use a marker, a sharpie works great, and draw a face. You can try to be elaborate. But, markers bleed terribly when drawing on the tissue paper.

4. 
    

   Attach a ribbon for hanging the ghost up. You can tie it round the ghost's neck. Or you can tape it to the top of the head like we did.

5. 
    

   Fluff out the bottom part of your ghost since it may have gotten squished while you were working on it. Now its time to hang your ghost up.

Tips & Warnings

• This is an excellent classroom project for Halloween parties. For three bucks worth of stuff about twenty kids can make a ghost.
• Check out your local dollar store. They have great prices on tissue paper. They also usually have a cheap selection of seasonal craft supplies.
• Be careful when drawing the face. Markers tend to bleed and you end up with a big mishapen blot instead of eyes and a mouth.
