Directions

  1. Sketch a spooky figure onto the white sheet using your pencil. This approach allows you to fix any errors before committing to the final design, and you are free to experiment with different silhouettes.
  2. Carefully slice along your drawn lines to separate the figure from the rest of the paper.
  3. Attach the two plastic eyes to the upper portion of the cutout. Next, use the marker to draw expressive eyebrows and a mouth directly onto the white surface.
  4. Secure the finished figure onto the dark background sheet using adhesive. Hang your creation up to celebrate the season!
