These little ghouls are absolutely adorable and require only glue, imagination and a little bit of patience!
What you'll need:
- White school glue
- Waxed paper
- Wiggle eyes
- Felt, buttons, pom-poms, etc (all optional)
How to make it:
- Place a piece of waxed paper on a flat surface.
- Squeeze glue from the bottle into the shape of a ghost.
- Place wiggle eyes into the glue.
- If you would like to decorate your ghost, use felt, buttons, pom-poms or whatever you like to add character. We made a simple bow tie from green felt and added mini pom-poms for buttons.
- Set aside in an out-of-reach area to dry overnight. Note: Expect for them to take all night – and possibly a few hours more – to dry completely.
- Once dry the ghosts will look like they blend into the waxed paper. Carefully peel them paper and use them as decorations around the house.
Notes:
- Add a hanger to your glue ghosts by putting a piece of yarn or ribbon into the top of the wet glue before setting aside to dry.
- Ideas for decorations can include felt or construction paper, pom-poms, buttons, ribbon, craft foam, pony beads and other various materials. Just be careful not to add too much or the items will weigh your ghosts down.
- Make fun puppets out of these ghosts by gluing the completed versions to a Popsicle or craft stick.
