Directions
- Select an empty, clean container to use as your ghost base. Rinse it with water to prevent any lingering odors, especially if you plan to reuse this craft later.
- If your container isn't already white, spray paint it in a well-ventilated area. Let the paint dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Using black construction paper, cut out eyes and a mouth for the ghost. You can trace simple faces with a pencil or just cut freehand shapes.
- Glue the paper face pieces onto the painted container. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before handling or playing to avoid any sticky mishaps.
