Directions
- Take a single sheet of white tissue paper and wrap it around a foam craft ball. Tie a piece of string, fishing line, or white thread snugly beneath the ball to form the ghost's head.
- Adhere googly eyes to the tissue paper using hot glue or craft glue (skip if they're self-adhesive). Alternatively, you can draw a face on the ghost with a marker.
- Thread a length of white thread or fishing line through the loop of a small brad. Push the brad into the top of the ghost's head, securing it so the ghost can be hung from any spot you'd like to add a spooky touch.
- Continue making ghosts until you have a whole haunted house full of them.
