Directions
- Start by collecting your supplies: cotton balls, glue, black construction paper, toilet paper rolls, paint, scissors, and markers.
- To make the cotton ball ghost, take a piece of black construction paper and arrange glue on it in the outline of a ghost shape.
- Press cotton balls onto the glue to fill in the ghost shape, then use a black marker to give your ghost eyes and a spooky mouth.
- For the toilet paper ghost, paint the toilet paper rolls completely white and allow them to dry fully.
- Using scissors, cut out a pair of eyes and a mouth from black construction paper, then glue these features onto the painted rolls.
- Enhance your toilet paper ghosts with extra details like arms or legs, crafted from more construction paper or drawn with markers.
- Make sure every craft is completely dry before you display them for a truly ghoulish Halloween decoration.
