Glue Ghost Beads

By: Alisha

Difficulty: Very Easy

Age: 4 and up

Parental supervision is recommended

This project is very simple and allows even young children to make their own ghost necklace or Halloween decoration.

Be sure to visit all of our other ghostly crafts, our fabulous costume ideas and these spook-tackular Halloween recipes!

What you'll need:

  • Wax paper 
  • Google eyes 
  • White school glue 
  • Ribbon, sequins, and miscellaneous ghost decorations 
  • Yarn

How to make it:

  1. Give each child a large square of wax paper and have them lay it on the table, wax side up.
  2. Have each child make a glue "blob." Allow the glue to dry for two minutes or until a sticky skin forms on the top.
  3. Once the glue surface has become tacky, the children can add eyes, ribbon, and other items to personalize their ghost.
  4. When the children are finished decorating, allow the ghost to dry completely and then peel it off the wax paper.
  5. You can punch a hole through the top of the ghost, and run yarn through it to make a Halloween pendant. Or make enough ghosts to form a necklace.
