Directions
- Begin by cutting out the ghost pattern from your template, then carefully trace the outline onto the black cardstock using the white colored pencil.
- Pour a small amount of white paint onto the paper plate and dip your small sponge into it to get it ready for application.
- Gently dab the paint-covered sponge onto the traced ghost shape on the cardstock to create a textured, painted effect.
- Using your scissors, cut out the shapes for the eyes and mouth from the remaining black cardstock or a separate piece.
- Carefully cut along the outer lines of the painted ghost shape to separate it from the rest of the cardstock.
- Apply glue stick to the back of the cut-out eyes and mouth, then position and press them onto the painted ghost face.
