Directions

  1. Begin by printing the ghost craft template and carefully cutting out each individual piece.
  2. If you prefer a colorful result, let the child color the cutouts before assembly, or simply print the template directly onto the colored paper of your choice.
  3. Apply glue to the ghost tail and attach it to the brown paper bag, ensuring the entire surface of the bag is completely covered.
  4. Next, adhere the eyes, mouth, and cheeks to create the ghost head, then secure the finished head to the bottom of the paper bag.
